I read that some women suffering from BPD would get pregnant on purpose, because of the fear of abandonment, like, if they got pregnant, then they think that their partner wont leave them - in my head it makes some sense, not that I would do it myself, but also I think that maybe it gives them a little peace inside, knowing that if he decides to leave even though she is pregnant, she would ...

A new page for BPD with a base in the UK but helpful for all

I can't stop thinking about how I make everyone miserable and how unbearable I am going to be as a parent. I feel like I should end my life before I bring another person (unborn baby) into it... this person who is going to be completely affected by every single thing I do or say. I am not cut out for this... I don't care about how hard it is going to be for me ...

Hi i used to be at uni studying psychology. I quit after the first yr due to a lot of personal stress.
However i am really interested in psychology and would like to go into forensic psychology one day. Can a person with BDP be a psychologist?? I wanted to work in prisons or law courts and some time in the future work with the police doing criminal profiling. Is this just a pipe dream ...

For the past month or so, I've been dealing with more sh*t on my plate than usual. Emotionally, I have not been doing well... lack of sleep, increased flashbacks and nightmares, vivid daydreams, intense feelings of self harm and thoughts of suicide... all that and more.

I know I have some BPD traits too (emotional/easy to cry, laughs when uncomfortable (getting yelled at/bad ...

For the first time in ages I jumped out of bed by 6:45 AM, and I was genuinely excited about the day.

I got my daughter to school on time, I showered and washed my hair.

I put on make up.

That is where the entire positive parts of my day end.

I went to see the doctor from the mental health team, who seemed to finally get that I am struggling, though she then ...

Hi i've just been told i have BPD. I dont want to go into my past right now other than to say i am very self destructive. I had never heard of BPD before so i'm still reading about it/me. I was wondering if anyone else with BPD thinks about death before they go to sleep at night? I know thats wierd but i do and have done for yrs now. I imagine different ways ...

Does anyone else get racing thoughts after what should be just really minor disappointments?
