News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

My brother got really angry at me because when I was in the hospital for schizoaffective, a social worker was talking to me and I told her about my dad's drinking and abuse in the past. My brother said the only reason I said that is because I must have a personality disorder, he angrily denied our dad's drinking.

he called the doctor at the hospital to tell him he thinks i have a persoanlity ...

Hey there,

I am new here. But, I have been following the posts for several months now. So I am just wondering.
Has anybody here experienced sexual abuse here and has BPD? The main question is, has anybody actually been able to recover from a lot of their sexual abuse problems....

The reason I am asking is becuase the sexual abuse stuff from my past continously haunts me. Not in a sense that I think ...

I was diagnosed with BPD in 2004 at 20 years old.

Since then I have developed more impulse control than I realize. I see 8 of the 9 criteria in myself. Sort of.

1. frantic efforts to avoid abandonment. I attempted suicide 2 years ago over percieved rejection. I do the leave be before he dumps me and have tried to move out twice in 2 years. I have lots of thoughts - but have ...

Im hoping I can get some knowledgeable answers here, since Im confused on this issue.

During my time there, I talked to the social worker about some family history...my brother told me he wanted to help me, so I briefly discussed with him what I told the social worker...he got mad and later called ...

This it it. I'm breaking down. I can't be anything and there won't be any second chances.
Every year is worse than those before it, and it's much harder to change when you're older.
It *doesn't* get easier with age!
There's only one life to be had and I was dealt the "rotted genes" and "fu-c-kd up family" cards and even if I had a million dollars I wouldn't be able to erase those facts. ...

Hey guys,

I know we are all struggling but I'm finding it hard to know why we are going through all this struggle, pain, trauma etc... and why our brains don't let us forget this or move on, when other people seem to cope quite normally?

Winter...

So I recently discovered that I have BPD and I've been trying to work it out. I'll start by saying the way I discovered it is two years ago I started dating a girl with bipolar disorder among other mental issues. However, one of her original goals before she lost most of her will to see things through was to be a criminal psychatrist so she'd studied in great depth personality disorders. She mentioned to ...

Hey there,

So sooner or later, I knew I would have to sign up to this forum since a lot of things people write I can relate to. I think it is also good because you can talk to people who are struggling with the same thing, and it doesn't make you feel so alone...

So a bit about me: I am a 24 year old female, been "diagnosed" with bpd (although I generally don't ...

This is my first post on this page. I read through some of the other posts and noticed that a lot of what was being said relates to the issues that I am struggling with now.
