News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

My name is Krystal and I am very new to this site and this disorder. I'd like to go over some of my history before I pose my question.

I am 21 years old. I have had three serious relationships. After my second relationship I realized that there was probably something wrong with me. In my first relationship my partner lied a lot and I'm still not sure whether he cheated or not. There were ...

I'm a 23 year old male, getting that out of the first. I still think I have Borderline but finding a doctor who doesn't immediately shrug away the notion is proving difficult. The main question is how does someone in my situation go about getting diagnosed? I know that of all the disorders, the traits of Borderline fit me the best explains a lot.


I've never been to psychologist or psychiatrist since I was boy. ...

I didn't want to take away from her topic so I hope it is acceptable that I did this.

Yes, this is entirely an appropriate topic, and an appropriate feeling. One of the big things about BPD is that we constantly desire love (or in the absence of love, anything remotely close to it) and will go to incredible lengths to get it. Promiscuous sex, affairs, or in your case, even just sleeping ...

Hi everyone,

So I think that I probably have BPD. I fit the profile, score in the severe range on BPD questionnaires and am already receiving treatment for anxiety and depression plus have a history of self harming, bad/ volatile relationships and a crappy childhood. Lol, you have to laugh! Anyway, I know that you have to see a therapist for a diagnosis, but my question is whether it is actually a good idea to ...

Hello everyone,

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this. I really appreciate it, I'm having a slight wobble and I'm not sure which part of me is being rational or irrational. If you could just give me your thoughts, it would really help me re-evaluate my thought processes/actions. Thank you.

This Friday is my boyfriends mother's birthday. Both my partners parents are at their static caravan for the weekend near the ...

I'm brand new here, so I'm not sure if this is an appropriate topic but I just need some people who might relate. My psychologist is essentially useless - or I am, because I don't speak with them very openly - and I just don't know if this is a normal part of the disorder or if I'm just extra needy and unbearable.

I feel like I just need physical closeness all the time and ...

Hello all! I match a great deal of the traits described in BPD, and I wanted your advice on whether you thought I likely am BPD. I've written out below certain characteristics of myself.

Making it known, and going out of my way to say, that I don't have feelings for people, before hooking up with them

In my current relationship, me and my boyfriend have broken up repeatedly. Intimacy has been the major cause ...

(i'm gonna edit your post with some spacing so it's easier to read :) - sometimes we can get lost in all of the words - wineaux)

So i dated a guy for 3 years and it was a reallly intense relationship. we spent almost all of our time together and because i had social anxiety i didnt do anything without him. when i would go out ...

So I need a job, but I can't seem to overcome a vicious cycle of anxiety and self-worth related issues in my pursuit of gainful employment. It goes a little something like this:

Stage 1 - realize I need a job because I need money to live
Stage 2 - realize money is a depressing motivator, so I find things that are fun/enticing that I could do with money to make it more positive
Stage ...

Your anger is like a compass......it points you to who you are inside. It points you to your true self. It protects you and it also protects others if you know how to use it.

I will show you


When I get angry, it means that I value something and its being disregarded by
someone else.

Like if someone LIES to me and I find out. I will be angry.

So I think about my ...
