I am 3 years in to a relationship with someone I believe has BPD, I only discovered this yesterday and having read "Walking on Eggshells" yesterday, pretty much everything seems to fit. Things have gotten to a very serious level and I am now very worried for my safety.

Two weeks ago I began leaving a laptop recording all day so all of her rages are documented including the sound of her beating me as ...

So generally it seems like before we can try to pursue what would be considered a normal life, we need to help our selfs and work on us. So what are some peoples thought for things that have really helped them to ...

Hello, my name is Carol, I'm 47, live with my dog Lily and pretty much stay indoors, as I hate going out unless absolutely necessary. I was officially diagnosed with BPD in 2002 along with bi-polar type 2. I've been on disability since then. I was first diagnosed with depression back in the 80's, then panic disorder, agoraphobia, PTS, you get the idea. I remember reading everything I could get my hands on when I ...

I was in a relationship with my ex bf for 3.5 years. At first, I was not really in love with him because we were not emotionally and intellectually compatible at all. I am very deep and smart yet introverted and self-reflective and he is the total opposite, very confident yet superficial and someone who does not think deeply.

Whether from observation or personal experience, do you guys find that we not only experience love at first site with every guy/girl we go out with, but with EVERYONE WE MEET?!

Like, no matter how unattractive the person is or useless they are to us, practically speaking, we inappropriately sexualize and romanticize every encounter. Our eyes instinctively lock on to theirs and from there our sense of self and separateness from them and others begins ...

Thanks in advance to anyone who responds. I will try to make this as simple as possible. Basically when I was in my mid 20s I met a friend who was about 51 then, who was/is male to female trans. She told me then she was sexually attracted to men. I don't care about sexual orientation and the friendship was fine. I have anxiety issues and get panic attacks so I drank a lot in ...
