News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

Hello—I am a student who is currently considering going to grad school in order to study psychology (specifically, with the goal of studying BPD). I am very interested in learning more about this condition and am hoping that someone can help shed some light on a few questions I have. Most of all, I’m interested in learning more about the concept of the “inner child” that many individuals with BPD often mention. If anyone can ...

Hey guys,

Ive always had the feeling that I was a little different than everyone else. Things just seem to come easier to others and they seem to have a willpower that I dont but desperately want. I used to think I just had issues with anxiety but recently have thought that im depressed, anxious, bipolar, and now BPD.

Looking back Ive always been somewhat needy and needed validation from others but not constantly like ...

I think I projected my need of approval, and see my manager as a mother figure (my mother at work)
I want her to be complimenting me. I want her to accept me as a friend (used to)
I want her to acknowledge my effort and hardwork
I need her support when I am struggling
I need her recognition

I am mad because she is no longer feeling happy for my success
she is no ...

Hi there,

I posted the below in an OCD forum but it was suggested I come here too due to having BPD also. Apologies for pasting it but I don’t believe it warrants editing.

In a dark place here so any input/honest rational would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Default Just out of hospital and not strong enough for this..
Hey there.

I realise this is probably not an ideal post and I should be battling ...

I’ve had self-esteem issues for ages but they seem to have suddenly become more pronounced. I feel like no one likes me, because I don’t like me. Anything nice they say about me I don’t believe, and I am reading proof into every interaction I have with people. I used to be bad with people not responding to messages quickly and I feel like this has become worse. I need people too much. I try ...

This is not graphic, but may be upsetting/uncomfortable.

I have been diagnosed with BPd, Bipolar II, GAd, and have had other things thrown at me. I would like to be myself. But only a certain part of me. And at certain times. I struggle with chronic pain from vulvodyina, muscle pain, and other things. I’ve been trying to treat this with diet, but I have not been able to integrate PT in the last couple ...

Can someone with borderline say that? She told me after 9 months of relationship that she never loved me and that she was just "playing" with me? She told me that I am a sad weirdo because I have clinical depression and aspergers. I just said hello to her and then she said FU** OFF and I answered that she is a crazy bitc*. Then she said this.

I've been reading these posts with great interest. My adored sister (we are both adults) has borderline personality disorder. Or at least we think so, but as an adult, she refuses to seek any help. She has recently cut off her adult daughter because she did not want her daughter to have anything to do with me, including phone calls, visits, etc (her daughter and I love each other). And she has cut off me ...

So this might seem really silly but I've been struggling really hard with how to word my condition to the person I like. It's turned into a really weird situation between us where I don't really know what is going on. We started seeing each other about 4/5 months ago and when we first met we were super affectionate with each other and he treated me so well, would make me feel very special and ...

I was wondering if anyone could relate to this because I don't know if it's relevant enough to be a symptom to be included in my BPD or not so I'm just confused. I have severe social anxiety so I don't engage with anyone in person but online it's very different. It's a feeling of extreme impulsiveness to have some type of attention and it always comes down to being promiscuous but like I said, ...
