I'm pretty sure that i have borderline personality disorder since i'm adopted and my parents adopted me and my brother at age 3, and 4. I'm the oldest by the way. I've always been really shy around girls and nervous and can't think of what to say ... I feel so messed up, I've been like this for as long as i can remember but didn't know i had anything except ADD possibly Until just ...

I've known something wasn't right with my personality for the longest time, but haven't actually done any research or thought about how serious it is and what people think of me and how it affects relationships hugely. At first i thought i had depression, anxiety etc but now i realize i have a bunch of mental disorders including OCD. I didn't think i had BPD until recently i've realized i have a huge problem but ...

Does anyone else here find that borderlines tend to contradict themselves somewhat often? Obviously, it not being their fault, but the fault of splitting.

I notice that I do it quite a lot. One minute I'll hate something and I'll express my hatred for it to everyone I know. The next, I'll find something I love about it, and I'll love EVERYTHING about it, and express my love for it. This then causes confusion for ...

My name is Jess. I'm 27 and was diagnosed today with BPD. I have nearly all signs and symptoms with the exception of few. So far I've read all the information Mr. Google would give me. Now I'm not quite sure how I am feeling. I'm quite shocked and honestly probably haven't let it absorb yet.

Does this sound like a symptom of BPD to you?

I sometimes have a very weak sense of self, suddenly everything shifts and I go from feeling like I know myself to a bit like I'm a stranger, I find it harder to access my memories, and I don't know if this make sense or not but I also feel kind of fragmented, like I'm not alone in my head, but maybe it's imagination?

Okay, this is the weirdest I've ever felt.

For once in my life, I REALLY don't want a relationship. I don't understand this. I have an understanding girl who's ready to be with me, but I keep pushing her away. I don't know if it's because I don't want to hurt her (because I know I will) or because I don't want to be hurt. But I'm really reluctant to get into anything with her. ...

I'm sorry, I'm sure you probably get these a lot, but I would really like some opinions on this.

I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with the way I percieve things and the instability in my mood and self-esteem.

So, I've been reading about BPD, and from what I read you need 5 out of 9 symptoms to be diagnosed. I have 6 out of 9.

It amazes me how many times, while looking through ...
