News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

I'm thinking of talking to my therapist about bpd because I experience most symptoms but I read that fear of abandonment, unstable romantic relationships, black and white thinking, and reckless behaviors are a major part of it but I've never been in any romantic relationships to experience instability, I push everyone away and I'm not close to anyone so I definitely don't have fear of abandonment or black and white thinking. I also don't do ...

So I was feeling cold and went to the doctor and well this happened:
i look outside the clinic and there's no sign that says 'keep shoes outside'. Plus there aren't any shoes outside and i walk inside the clinic and see every other patient has worn shoes. So even i go inside wearing shoes.

When it's my turn to visit the doctor, i walk in the doctor's room. The doc asks me what's wrong ...

Hey guys, I'm sorry if this post comes off as offensive and I'm not meaning for it to be. I am no doctor but to me, it seems like some BPD people could easily be misdiagnosed and truly be HPD. I was diagnosed with BPD but I cannot relate to most of the Borderlines on social media because of strong emphasis put on the attention seeking "symptom."

I understand that "attention seeking" is a BPD ...

Hi, I definitely have bpd, I was just wondering if getting diagnosed is any benefit? I have read online that there is a lot of stigma even with health care professionals. I was interested to know if people have experienced this type of stigma? I’m aware I have it, so would having a diagnosis make you feel worst? Or maybe it makes people feel better?

I have had severe depression since as long as I can remember (pretty much all my life). I'm well aware my upbringing doesn't help that. I don't like being in a room, quiet, with someone for any amount of time because I'm afraid that they're quietly seething at me, just trying to find a way to yell at me. I find comfort in my headphones, because then people can't talk to me, so they can't ...

My heart has been broken ever since I laid eyes on you...and that was almost 3 years ago. I accept that you will never love me but you will always own my heart as it wants what it cant have and there is nothing I can do about it.

='(

I love you SO much.

I think I've posted about this before.

But I'm worried my safety blanket- alcohol- is getting to be too much.

I spend a lot of money I don't have on it; I already have a spending problem, my wife does her best to control my finances but I don't always make it east... I spend a lot on unnecessary stuff.

I get irritable and anxious without it. Even just a beer makes me feel better. ...

I've known her for about a year. I haven't seen much of her for 4 or 5 months and I tried to flirt with her when I first met her . The first time I felt like she responded well because we were out at a bar with a mutual friend and she came over to stand behind me while I was at the bar alone trying to get more drinks after I'd touched her ...

Without distractions I am confronted by thoughts I can usually negate.

I am incapable of receiving love if it's not from those who I have subconsciously chosen to love and all those who I love can never love me the way I want to be loved. Those who I love never see me for who I actually am. I am sexualised or diminished and it hurts to see others being praised for aspects I know ...

Totally new here. Actually, new to posting on any sort of online forum which seems weird given that i'm a millennial. Anyway. I have BPD + binge eating disorder +anxiety disorder +depression (I can't remember the exact diagnosis but I get depressed easily and frequently). I've just totally fallen off the wagon in terms of taking care of myself. I'm not using any of the DBT skills I learned (graduated from outpatient treatment January 2017) ...
