My mother tells me that ever since I was a kid, I was very observant of my parents' behaviour, especially toward my sister. The minute I felt my sister got the slightest advantage over me - a hug that lasted a little longer, a new toy, a sweet word - I was anxious to get it too. I was heavily concerned that I wouldn't get the same treatment, and very worried that every little thing ...

Hello,

I am new here and have never joined or contributed to an internet site of any description before...so not quite sure what to do yet.

However, I recently discovered, quite by chance, a site discussing BPD and, although I had never heard of the term and did'nt know what it was...I read on.
I was shocked, stunned and truly amazed by what I was reading...and, within a few minutes/hours (after reading a little more ...

Hey everyone, I'm certain I have BPD (I know it is dangerous to self diagnose but it just feels so like "me") and after struggling hard on my own for a long time I have finally opened up to my sister (also one of my best friends) about how much I'm struggling and how worried I am. I have known there's been something wrong with me for a long time but I've always been too ...

So I've been diagnosed with bpd and clinical depression by 3 different doctors. I even have the proof on paper. But my family especially my mother doesn't believe and says I can't blame my problems on something, it's all my fault, I need to grow up and take responsibility. She also refuses to believe that I have depression and bpd. I said to her so 3 different doctors are wrong? And she said yes, I ...

So I really hate this about myself. I tend to do things or say things that I later regret and people just cut me out of their lives entirely. It's like they have made a judgement about my personality and figure I'm just a bad person that always acts that way - or maybe I'm imagining it, I don't know. Thing is, sometimes I'm just going through a bad time in my life. I said ...

That when you tell those close to you that you have BPD they understand. I don't think they register it. They think it's nothing. It's better if you tell them you have schizophrenia or something more known or obvious. I feel dejected I suppose. That this is a private problem, something no one can understand but us. Am I wrong? I just feel like it's some invisable pain only we know, and no one can ...

Hi,

I'm new to anything like this and have never spoken to anyone (knowingly) who suffers from BPD.

I was diagnosed last year at the age of 27 and have had little help since. Are there any tips or does anyone have any advice on how to manage symptoms as much as possible?

Main problems; impulsivity, reckless sex, alcoholism, lack of self worth, jealousy

Any suggestions would be really great,

Thanks ...

I'm sorry for posting a new topic again, guys. I thought this was the best place to turn to for now and I just got knocked, so I'm venting.

My life, it seems, is destined to keep going down the shi##er. I know I'm able to make decisions and change this, but I just want to scream my head off. Why is this worth it? Is this ever going to be worth it? I keep ...

Help!

From time to time, I get triggered to have an intense panic thinking that no one will ever love me. It's really painful and scary and difficult to cope with.

Do you have this too? What techniques have you used to deal with this feeling?

What distress tolerance skills?

Okay so last summer I went to a psychiatrist, sat in his office for 10 minutes (or less) and he diagnosed me with bipolar disorder. I can see myself having that on some aspects, but not many. I went there a couple more times, and was not impressed with how the office was run. I changed to a new psychiatrist earlier this year, and I like them a lot better. I had done some research ...
