News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

Hey everyone...I haven't been around for a while. I know how selfish it seems, but you know what they say? How can you help others if you can't help yourself?

Anyway it's been a while since I've had a major episode and I really need someone to talk to but I have no one. I live with my mom but she either steers clear of me when I'm down or she's the cause of my ...

Hi, I was told a had probable BPD after seeing a psychiatrist in A and E after taking an overdose over 2 years ago. I was on fluoxetine at the time for depression. A year ago I managed to wean myself off them as was not feeling depressed anymore and they give me bad dreams and destroy my sexdrive. I have continued to have mood swings, hysterical disproportionate responses to things and hypersensitivity to rejection. ...

I felt rejected earlier on and I just used "radical acceptance". It did feel hurtful to me however I just kept telling myself that I had to accept it, not in a harsh way but just in a "that's the way it is" way and it did actually help. I couldn't think of any other DBT skill that would apply in that situation as feeling rejected is a negative feeling for anyone, all you can ...

I was thinking about this just now. I feel like people don't care about me, that they will just abandon me. But I've been trying to think about it logically. Sure, some people don't care about me, that is true however it's not true to say that no one cares about me. I have had people be very helpful towards me so I shouldn't generalise.

Also, I'm realising that what I interpret as abandonment is ...

Hi

I'm diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, but I think I may be borderline aswell. Has anyone who's borderline had psychosis aswell? My reasoning for thinking this is I read the "you know your BPD" thread and all of it describes me. I fall in love easy, if I don't get a reply from a text within minutes I think you hate me, I'm bad with relationships, say you'll be there at 2pm and your not im ...

Hi. I have suffered from mental illness since I was a child. First I had OCD which I did overcome but then it transformed into a bad case of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (which I still have symptoms of to this day), having had numerous cosmetic surgery procedures and years of feeling so deformed and ugly that it seriously ruined my life. All through these years I have had feelings ranging from suicidal depression to feeling ...

Hey everyone, I am writing a poem to my ex/taking a break/almost back together gf who has BPD/SPD and depression. The poem is about our sexual chemistry - which is the best I have ever had in my entire life. Her as well. It's the one thing that got us started, kept us together and also brings us close enough to share our troubles - it's more than just sex. But it's hard to explain. ...

I haven't been diagnosed with a personality disorder, but I was diagnosed with an eating disorder a number of years ago, so in that context I know what it means (when I saw an image that glorified being thin, I would get angry with myself for not being thin and then would be more motivated to stop eating). But in the context of other disorders such as BPD or even Dissociative disorders, I don't know ...

Hey everyone,

I'm not really new to the forum -- I forgot my old account login -- but I AM new to the borderline area. My therapist diagnosed me back in July after a whole bunch of other diagnoses that just didn't work. Anyway, I'm kind of in a very bad spot at the moment, and I was wondering how other folks deal with rage productively. I have had a very VERY VERY bad day. ...

or atleast there has to be something, seriously, seriously, seriously wrong with me.
I have, once again, fallen into SEVERE bpd, and not only that, i can`t even proberly face it either.
I obviously can`t try to get out if im not aware of it, and in the current state of mind i`m in right now **MOD EDITED**

The reason im writting this is really, because i have seen alot of people on this forum ...
