If you have a pervasive, ongoing, impossible to escape, SENSE... that someone from your past whom you fell madly in love with IS, even empirically, given every attempt to find someone to contradict this notion, TRULY one-of-a-kind, and therefore eternally irreplaceable, is it possible that you could actually be correct? Yes, I realize that that is the run-on sentence from hell, but bear with me. What if the possibility of the above scenario being true ...

I also see the word "TRIGGER" after a lot of post titles... I assume that their content may trigger strong feelings... This maybe a trigger story? I don't know. Can someone explain that to me? Also, I'm not sure if this should go in the "relationships" forum... it is about a relationship, but my biggest problems right now are the feelings I'm facing, which I think might be BPD related... mistrust, fear of abandonment, the ...

I had my 10th shrink appointment on Thursday..

It has been a hard slog with trial and error with meds and all this time not having any therapy. I pushed with him 6 weeks ago about DBT etc...

So last thursday I get told I have not been accepted onto the DBT programme.. How ######6 nice.

Apparently the people on the programme would make me worse and because I am a high functioning PWBPD then ...

I was wondering... Does anyone here have siblings who also have BPD? My sister is very suicidal. She has had two very serious suicide attemps. One landed her in the hospital and 4 hours of reconstructive surgery. I'm really worried about her, but she is thousands of miles away. I, as someone who doesn't have a good grip on my own emotions, do not know what to say and don't know how to comfort her.

Hi, everybody: I've been reading these boards for about 3 years now - I don't post often because I'm a non and I don't usually have anything of value to contribute. I'd like to ask your opinion on something that happened with my exbpdbf just to see what you think might be going on. I know nons are not always appreciated in these parts, so if no one wants to answer, I understand.

My ex ...

Hello, sorry for such a long post.

I have always thought that I think a little differently then everyone around me, and that my way of thinking sometimes gets me into trouble. Here I am, turning 22 this summer, and I just withdrew from my third year at university (3rd year in my 3rd different program). I never ended up taking anymore then a few first and second year courses as I kept changing my ...

Where I stand right now, I have two kinds of friendships.
1) People I keep at a distance and barely attempt to relate to.
2) People I got close to... Too close... So close that they've grown to resent me and have since cut off all ties.

So, with my close friends gone, I'm left alone. But, not alone. But, still feeling alone. The people who will still talk with me are distant. I can't ...

Hello.

Ok, so I've known for long time that I may have a tentative dx of bpd/rapid-cycle bipolar/cyclothymia, but previously I was under 18 and the mental health services I was with were intensely uncomfortable diagnosing me. I also got caught between private/public health services and got lost in the system, essentially. SO. Long story short, I've been officially diagnosed with all of the above. Although I'm pretty sure cyclothymia and rapid-cycle bipolar are the ...

Im a little nervous. This is my first time posting in this forum.

My psych that I see now just recently diagnosed me win BPD, that pretty much my psychosis, my dissociation, and depression isn't separate disorders, but they are all BPD. (She pretty much stated that my old psych couldn't connect the dots.)

I'm really confused, and sort of in shock, still. I don't know very much about BPD. I'm already in DBT, so ...
