News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

In the abandonment sticky, someone mentions that for a person with BPD love can easily turn into hate. Do people who are BPD constantly test a relationship sometimes to such a point where it can distance their partner and consequently they then believe that there was no love in the relationship, ultimately provoking feelings of hate and anger towards their partner? Isn't this sort of self-defeating?

P.S. I don't wish to sound judgemental in this ...

My partner, who I'll call Big D for ease of typing has been recently diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, firstly at my suggestion about 2 months ago and secondly backed up by his psychiatrist.

BUT...the nature of the beast being as such, Big D thinks the diagnosis is wrong.

Today he put Borderline Personality Disorder in front of me and we read the list. Yes, he fits every single criteria, every single thing that is ...

I have sort of a long story thats really odd. I am so attached to my best friend it hurts.. and I've heard of other people with bpd who have similar attachment issues but not quite like me.

There is a huge age gap between us. I'm 18 and she's 32. I met her at a summer camp; I was a kid she was a councellor. And we became really close. She's like a mentor/big ...

Hi, hoping someone can help me. Been diagnosed with BPD, and have bad mood swings (they can change daily from hypomanic to irritable and angry to depressed, or I can be severely depressed for months and months, have been psychotic at times too, but hypomania only lasts a week or two it seems). I don't know if I have true BPD anyway as I do not lie compulsively or abuse people and don't usually put ...

I haven't self harmed for 9 months and I slipped up on Wednesday night (4/4). My friends were there to console me but my mom was madder than hell. Thing is, I don't feel bad for doing it. I felt as though I needed to be punished. And I succeeded. Borderline is not my only diagnosis. I have also veen diagnosed as a narcissist. My mom thought it (the cutting) was about her (narcissism). Narcissism ...

This is my first post here.
My name's Keri, I'm 21 and I have Borderline Personality Disorder.
I self-medicate.
I do not have health insurance and haven't even been to see a doctor for several years.
When I was a teenager I saw two therapists. The first I saw twice and the second I saw only once.
Last Thanksgiving I was vaporacted and put into a mental health facility for one day and night. I ...

Over the last 15 years it seems that every time I talk to a therapist about my daughter they give me another disorder they think might be her problem. I’ve heard she has Associative Disorder, Schizophrenia, Schizoid Personality Disorder, Sexual Addiction, and now Borderline Personality Disorder. If you will bear with me I will describe my daughter’s actions and perhaps someone can give me some ideas.

My daughter was born with a cleft lip and ...

this girl i know (we used to be good friends before she stopped talking to me) was diagnosed bpd at age 13. isnt that WAY too young? i think she clung onto the diagnosis, even inflicted more of it on herself, "turned" herself bpd in a way, because it was an identity to hold onto. she told me about her dx 2 years ago, and then stopped talking to me. i saw her recently when ...

1. could the the black & white perception follow the pattern of an all or none?

2. is it possible to continuously bounce back & forth of being B & W even after months of being apart?

3. if so then wouldn't this go against the theory of "object constancy" because we don't see each other only email?

My thoughts are this PD needs to have constant stimulation whether it be from a current or ...
