News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

greetings to you all,

my 13 yr. old daughter has been dx with odd, mdd, and bpd. she is on meds, has been in therapy (recently started learning dbt skills), and has been informed of her dx.

since we do not have access to a dbt skills group for bpd, i have been looking into alternative kinds of support for her. a place where she can communicate with others who may be able to identify ...

Do you ever feel like there's some vital missing from your life and THAT is why you feel so anxious?

That's about how I feel right now. I'm not scared that someone will leave me or that I'll be alone... I feel like something's missing, something important, and that if something that important can slip away so easily, then anything can...
I'm not concerned with what may slip away from me, because that doesn't matter. ...

I just got a call from my mom.... went like this,

Mom: how have you been?

Me: Alright, kind of going crazy since losing my job and going off my medicine.

Mom: Well it's my fault.

Me: What are you talking about?

Mom: You told me so.

Me: Are you really going to use that against me?

Mom: Well...

Me: I love you. Bye.
Then text...

Mom: u really have no clue of everything i ...

I'm having an odd day today. I am sitting in a hostel with the big label homeless on me. I got through the paperwork I needed to start looking for a home on Friday. It's now Tuesday. I printed off some contact details for places to rent last night. I spent until 12.30 today before I convinced myself to make the first call. I was putting it off, putting it off, putting it off. Then ...

Boy oh boy, have I gotten myself in a pickle. I am a married man who has been involved with a BPD (female) lover for the past 18 months. I have immersed myself in this disorder as far as research goes. The bottom line is that she came along at a time when her adorations were so desperately needed, and I let the trojan horse thru the gates so to speak. My wife found out ...

Sup, I'm borderline, disabled through the military. I learned how to repair night vision gear but as time goes on I haven't been keeping up with the technology. I figure sooner or later I'm going to return to the job market, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for jobs that fit well with borderlines, or assuming I ever work it out, post-borderlines, without a college degree.

So far I've come up with: ...

It's pretty rare that I post about my issues on here. I much prefer to help other people with their issues instead...

Today I'm feeling so insecure... with myself, my boyfriend, my job, my mom...

It started when I got up and saw the mess fromt he party the bf and I had last night. I have to clean up when I get home. I get so tired of coming home to messy house, but ...

Following my husband painting me black, going off with another woman and throwing us out I have a few more questions please. I have written to him numerous times all lovely letters but no response at all. He does however always ring about 2 days after receiving them. When I have asked about his woman he says its complicated. He has told his Mum he had to finish with me on the phone because he ...

So I've been banned for the past month...
That was pretty crappy, but I'll have to watch my mouth this time around, I guess.

Good to be back.

I've been a real nutcase without somewhere to go and be social-esque.
Seriously, my moods have been everywhere, and I have all this stressy crap going on...
It's been really bad.

I'm so happy to be back.

I've taken a look at DBT stuff. It's pretty good, but so far to me it seems to only address how to deal with bad stuff after it's triggered.

I'm wondering if I'm just not understanding something about DBT or if there are other techniques to prevent yourself from having those invasive thoughts of rejection in the first place.

The thing is, I feel pretty good on the antidepressant. BUT I'm easily triggered into a ...
