, and it is tough. I'm not sleeping well. I sleep for an hour or so then wake and lie there for hours. Currently running on about 3 cylinders.
Anyway, as I do come out of the fog I remember so many things I did not notice as really serious issues but instead was resentful and pissed off so instead fought back the only way that seemed to make sense. I used to tell my ...

Hmmmm - here again because something just bugging me. Years ago hubby went wild in manic, hospitalized, electric shock treatment and clozaril, then tried to commit suicide. Said diagnosed manic depression. Few years later his Mother says the psy said had to give it a name so he reckoned bpd. Fast forward to now. Last few years def been bdp, no doubt about it.

there is no hope

A month ago, I broke up with my bpd-exgf after 7 months. She never hid the fact that she took medication for depression, but BPD never came up until I ended the relationship once and for all ... or at least tried to. Since then, I've done some reading on the subject, but it was always from her perspective - What is it; What does it do; How does it manifest, etc. Only today did ...

Hi guys,
This post is more of a long rant, but I really hope to gain some insight and see what others think.
As a son from a previous relationship on the side lines, watching his dad go through some real heated ravaged battles with his ex wife. I got to tell you it one scary roller coaster ride but has been one of biggest acute learning experience of my life. My father's wife has ...

I'm starting to get to the point when I can see the so-called "gift of the borderline". As I make the effort to take responsibility for my participation in such a dysfunctional relationship, I've started to realize some of the beliefs that kept me in it despite of all the abuse, the pain, the unfairness:

"I've thought quite a bit about this and asked myself this question quite a bit -- can you be intimate with a borderline?

Before we move too far down this path. Let's define intimacy. We all think that intimacy is sex, but that's not *true* intimacy. Anyone can ...

Simple question folks: If bpd's fear abandonment as much as it is said they do, then why do they sometimes abruptly dump their partners ? Here's the scenario: Bpd suddenly dumps NON saying 'I don't want you in my life. I'm cutting all contact & changing my mobile number, home number etc.' NON is dumped, no contact follows but bpd does not actually change the tel numbers as threatened. What's the deal here ?

Today I listened to the song "This Love", from Maroon5's album "Songs About Jane". I don't know whether it is a song about a relationship with a BDP, but it seemed to me that it could very well be. This made me wonder about other songs, and films, about people with BDP and relationships with them. I think that music and films can be other tools to help process and heal at a gut level. ...
