News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and just looking for some support. I am trying to get out of a break-up that has been dragging on for nine months already, and I'm not sure why I am struggling to let go. I have been abused many times in my life, starting in childhood, and I thought I had PTSD but now I am growing more concerned that I have BPD also. When I research BPD, ...

Whats a trigger?

I have triggers....we all have triggers.
When I was a kid my step brother used to LIE about $#%^. He would do things wrong and then when mom or dad asked , who did this? He would never fess up. And I KNOW I didnt do it.

But I got punished anyway.

Sometimes I had to sit in my room all day long for something that I didnt do.
This happened a ...

Hi to all...

I'm sure that so many here know all to well the seemingly uncontrollable gut renching feeling's that come with BPD so I guess what I'm interested to know is what HELPS us? What can we do at the time to help ourselves? I would really love to hear from ANYONE who has found ANYTHING that can help us back into self control?

For me personally, if I'm not already 'too far gone' ...

Edited! Sorry I was waffling

Hi,

I'm a non-diagnosed 26 year-old BPD girl.I never went to seek help. I have a lot of signs but managed to keep them under reasonable control. But I always felt like an alien and found difficult to form friendships etc. Then I met this guy and I felt the "have we met before" feeling. We have a lot of common things and he said "I'm the same" a lot of times. Soon he started ...

Can one suddenly start to think maybe its that particular pill that is screwing me up mentally atm and then think or your just a superfreak and good at it...

It's so difficult to do this. Like, everyday I can feel my borderline getting worse... as my brain is still developing at 20, It's literally getting worse; My behaviors, my anger, my impulsiveness, my self destructive behaviors... I feel like I'm literally batshit insane, I can't control where my emotions go, and I just go crazy. Last night I took like 7500 MG of painkillers and then regretted after my mom was crying for another ...

After two hospitalizations earlier this year, I was diagnosed bipolar 1 due to a mixed episode and history of major depression.

I've been on at least a dozen anti depressants and mood stabilizers, and none of them have had any effect on how I feel at all, only just nasty side effects. I get the feeling that my thoughts dictate my mood rather than a chemical imbalance, and because my supposed manic symptoms felt more ...

i need you to need me...

you know, cheap trick had it right. why is it that what we crave the most is what we get the least of? is it because we never had it? to begin with? so therefore we are so afraid of having it because it is destined to go away? i SOOOO need to be needed right now.

I don't know what this is, but I guess it gave itself a chance to speak in this post. I am currently not able to tell anyone including therapist, psychologist or anyone else because I forget it. It just says *ping* and it's gone, leaving me looking myself crazy for it... It seems to flash out alot, as of what I can recall I wrote it in like 20 minutes. I am well ...
