News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

I just found out about Borderline Personality Disorder. I suspect that my boyfriend of 6 years has BPD. Here are some of the reasons why i think he may be BPD:

- If i told him i was busy, he would whine his way into making me stay on the phone, while i was in the midst of attending to some other matter. Or if i was busy and called back later, he would punish ...

Some of this is me needing to vent, but also I'm kind of wondering if other people tend to feel the same way as I do. I'm not sure if it is anything to do with BPD, or people in general, or if it's just me.

I feel like I am two different people. Actually someone I'm close to said that's how they saw me, but I'm seeing it within myself and it is really ...

Newly diagnosed BPD, and I guess I am in "crisis" mode (if that's what it actually is -- it just feels like the normal episodes of panic and despair and self-harm that I have gone through since my youth).

I would appreciate veteran assistance from the clinically diagnosed BPD.

I just don't understand how I can be diagnosed with this PD. The DSM criteria do somewhat create a feeling of affinity within me, but other ...

Hi, I thought I'd post here as I've been reading this forum for a week or two. I'm 35 and I was recently diagnosed with BPD after many years of on-and-off therapy and treatment for depression and substance abuse. I'm in a whirlwind of emotions and unsure of what to do next.

I have been talking to an old therapist that I used to see regularly, but it has been frustrating as he doesn't specialize ...

.... he gave off this really weird vibe today, after I told him I was getting married. I don't know what it was.... but it almost felt like he was apprehensive about something.... Or that he wanted to say something, but kept it to himself. :/ I wonder if he personally feels like it's an awful idea, but doesn't say anything 'cause professionalism or something.

...it was just weird... he wasn't the same... Maybe he ...

It's nearly midnight and I really should be in bed (normally I'm a 10 o clock to bed girl) but I've had a day of frustration and am having trouble switching off. First my therapists just didn't get what i was trying to say in DBT this morning.....they seem to be under the impression that as I haven't written any "assertiveness scripts" then I must find it too too difficult. I don't....I may struggle to ...

I have been working on ignoring me triggers. Instead of straight raging right away I stayed cool for a good 5 minutes or so longer before going into out of control mode. :D I kept telling my self I'm overreacting and it will be best to just stay calm in the long run, I just kept thinking about the outcomes of past rage fests. So it ...

Well I went to see my therapist, a nice lady with an open face and friendly manner, younger than me, but not too young and very modern trendy looking like me.....I felt I could relate to her.

Anyway I told her my story right from the beginning, and even as I was telling it, it sounded unbelievable, something that would happen to someone else not rational, intelligent, educated, organised, strong me. As I was relating ...

Anyone else watch cops (or any other type of situation with a bad guy), see a guy getting dragged into a cop car crying, telling his wife to just use his check to pay the bills and apologizing. . . .

I find normal people say, "well, he shouldn't have done the crime." or "good, he belongs behind bars."

I feel bad for the guy. It seems like he's doing his best and is just ...

Hey guys,

So here is my story. I’ve been to graduate school for a couple of years now. This school is not my Alma Mater, since I received my BA from another institution. So at the beginning, while still doing my course work I had this potential thesis advisor, and things got pretty bad between us. Some of it was my fault, but most of it was his sole responsibility. We could no longer work ...
