I've been realizing as of late that what people do only has so much effect if I let it.

I love a vast amount of validation from the outside world and it fills me but I realize sometimes I just won't be able to get. ( I'm not there yet where I need it in the healthy amount yet )


And that if I can't get it, than I have to say " crim, your ...

Hello Tidy Peeps...

This is a bit of a braindump - but, even I realise I am in midst partway between stereotypical HPD/BPD.

I realise I am going through some weird thoughts and behaviors right now... But, thought I would toss it at the board to see if any of it resembles BPD.

The upshot... After seeing this girl for a bit over a year now (this girl being my ex-GFs former best friend - ...

I hate it. I get so angry. My head isn't right atm. I take antidepressants but they seem to do very little. I've become totally avoidant. I don't want to be with anyone. My ex calls me to reconcile but I want to just never speak to him or any man ever again. Lol. It's an over reaction but I'm done with it all. I often wonder if my anger will end. I go through ...

I find myself sabbatoging all the good in my life, I cant control it and I am pushing my boyfriend away from me. He is no longer intimate with me due to me being upset all the time if he wasnt being intimate every night, I would cry and feel empty and low if he diddnt, so now he associated sex with that, and it has completely ruined our intimacy. I have constant doubts about ...

Hey first time creating a post here..
Just realized its very likely I have BPD as I seem to have all the symptoms. Probably definite but remaining skeptical till diagnosed. I'm unsure about telling anyone though. My mum has the worst type of Bipolar and has been this way my entire life. Shes been institutionalized several times.. and seen her literally dragged out the house when she's aggressively refused to leave. Crying and begging not ...

I'm curious how empathy (or lack of it) plays out in BPD vs NPD. For instance, my mother is BPD and when I tell her something bad that happened, she immediately brings up her own sad story to overshadow mine. This is obviously lack of empathy, but is this a normal part of BPD or an indication that she may be a narcissist as well?

Also, I'm curious about the way BPDs devalue and discard ...

Well, i got mindfulness to work for the first time (i think)

My boyfriend had been lovely all day, which was a change, he told me how much he loved me and he would forever, when he's normally an arse and it actually made me sick to my stomach. All the pet names "baby, sweety" just turned my stomach and made me cringe, but anyways, all had been well all day until he told me ...

I've been struggling with depression and other issues since I was a teen, I'm 28 now. I've read on BPD and I have many of these symptoms. I'm considering going to see a counselor, I'm just tired of feeling low all the time. Part of me really wants to and the other part is scared to go. I'm scared of the stigma that is attached with the diagnoses of mental illness. My family is aware ...

It's something that really hurts to do, but I feel like I have to be realistic. I had a dream of going to uni and becoming a teacher. Took me three years longer than anyone else to gain acceptance to uni and then I had to pass it up because I couldn't afford it.

My parents were married and I had arrived by the time she was 21. I'd always thought I'd meet someone and ...

I'm in DBT and I'm about to quit. Recently switched individual therapists and I *love* my new therapist... but still. I HATE the constant talking about skills, I have tried some skills, they never have helped. And what's worse, every time I go to either an individual session or a group session I'm like a wreck for days after that. Can't concentrate, very depressed, all I think about is suicide... That does go away in ...
