Just looking for help...
Grew up in an abusive home. My father was verbally, emotionally, mentally, and physically abusive. My mother became terminally ill when I was 14. My older sibling moved 1500 miles away and cut contact with the family when I was 16. My boyfriend is cheating on me, and according to everyone it's an abusive relationship. I believe the bad moments in the relationship are my fault. But...I believe that your past doesn't have to control your present.
So, here are my issues now:
- I get jealous.
- I fear that my boyfriend is always going to leave me.
- I am always worried that my life is going to fall apart. I never count on anything, because I *know* it will fall through. I am always living in fear.
- I have threatened suicide (never been serious about it...I'm sorry, I know that is horrible. No disrespect to the people who have actually followed through).
- I get very emotional, say things I don't mean, then immediately feel bad for saying those things.
- I have had anorexia. I still struggle sometimes.
- I have OCD, as well.
- I feel guilty and at fault for everything.
Is this BPD? Or, do I have something else wrong?
