I have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.
I'm really conscious of the fact I have it, and I realize when I'm being destructive. I just don't know how to control it. I can't afford a therapist, or the medication, and it's tearing me to pieces. The only way I can deal with it is to "shut myself off" completely.

Since I was about 6, I have noticed a pattern throughout my life, in regards to intense friendships. I had a friend when I was six, who I was very overprotective of, Almost in ...

I am a Pacific Islander and I was engaged to an American guy I met online in a dating site. He proposed marriage to me four days after we first talk which I said no of course. We remained friends though, and we were still chatting. Then he told me he proposed to an 18 year old lady from my country too, who said yes. He bought a wedding ring, a plane ticket and send ...

Hey guys, long time reader first time poster.
I've been diagnosed with BPD for about 2 years now and recently came to the realization that my mother has NPD.

QUESTIONS:
Is it 'normal' that her personality disorder has in turn, affected me by causing a PD in me?
Or Am i just a result of her emotional abuse and in turn not really a sufferer of BPD?

I'm so confused about this entire revelation and ...
