Hey everyone,
I'm wondering if a traumatic situation at work and home can make bpd "start" or make is so much worse it feels like it just started. When did your bpd "start" or has it always been there?

I can usually get myself out of depressing thoughts by using my imagination and just thinking of all the wonderful great things i'm going to do with my life like water ski over the hawii waves!!
but an extended family member just stuck her nose in my life and made some comments to which she has no business and only knows 1/2 the story. I walked away without saying anything bad or mean but i've ...

I was involved with a woman who was diagnosed with BPD..at first things were great with her showering me with affection and lots of sex but after awhile i realized alot of her talk was nothing but BS and she never meant a word of it! it was not uncommon for her to easily fall for another guy at the bar when i was sitting right next to her! She made all kinds of promises ...

Hiya

I have a psych evaluation in two weeks; I'm a tad concerned that it's so soon, as I only got a referral last week. Sounds silly, but they're not going to lock me up or anything, are they? :lol: I just expected to wait longer, that's all.

On a serious note, though, what happens? The letter says it lasts 60 minutes, but there's no other information. ...

So, I was just recently hospitalized and officially diagnosed with BPD along with bipolar disorder. This is my third hospitalization, and talking to a lot of the people there, I realized that most of them were not first timers. I was wondering, just out of pure curiousity, how many people have been hospitalized, and how many times? I am just trying to understand my illness more, and whether or not I should prepare for a ...

My BPD has flaired up again (I think). This new guy didn't come around for a cuppa as organised. He then rang me the next day "while he was waiting for his mates to show up". And I haven't heard from him since. His lack of consistency isn't good for my BPD. Sometimes I wonder if I'm Asperger's, the way I crave consistency. I went to the Women's Centre to work through my increasing depression. ...

Yep...
Recovered or not (which I supposedly am), old habits die hard... and I've been acting like a loon.

I was fine, doing my own thing, and then into my life walked this guy that I liked.
It would have probably been okay if he hadn't acted like he might have liked me... but he did...
And then he found someone else to date...

So I've been depressed... and won't go to the gym, and ...

I feel insulted right now. I've improved myself so much. At this time last year I was a COMPLETE mess. I was a horrible bitch to everyone. I've learned to stop that and almost eliminate BPD from my life. I feel as though it's going mostly unnoticed by everyone. Did they really forget how awful I was? Do they not see how much more rational I've become? Can they not see I put a HUGE ...

Yesterday I realized that I may actually underestimate the state that I am in. Have any of you ever felt that way? Every day I am aware that I have tremendous trouble functioning, however, I think that I am so used to ignoring myself and trying to convince myself that I'm the normal one and everyone else is crazy, that I don't fully get the extent of what is going on with me. I realize ...

So the husband is going to see his divorce lawyer.

He's pushing my buttons on purpose to get me angry and blow up/rage

He claims that that's not the case

How do go about living in this situation?

I can't ignore him because he is with the kids all the rest of the evening after he gets off work...meaning I have to suck it up when he gets his little jabs in, in front of ...
