News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

I have a friend who has BPD with dissociative symptoms. When she splits me black, it is really really ugly and it seems to last a long time.

We have been friends for four years, and I would like to keep her as a friend. However, sometimes when she splits she can be extremely emotionally and verbally abusive and then she withdrawls, refusing to communicate.

Also, I think it is important to add that even ...

I don't even know if I'm posting this is the correct forum, but I'm hoping to expel some of my negative feelings, reframe my thoughts, and hopefully identify with anyone who reads this and has a similar struggle going on.

For the past few days, I have seriously struggled to keep the emotional anguish at bay. If there's one feeling that I don't feel ready to sit with, it's the empty, bored, hopeless collection. And ...

For those who have gone or are going through DBT, have any of you been, or told there was a possibility that you may be cured? That you no longer show enough of the DSM-IV symptoms to be declared as having BPD?

As you all know, identity is a big thing for us; it's like gold. As much as I initially hated the BPD identity (which meant giving up my non identity), I have since ...

I havent been able to sleep tonight and when I cant sleep, funny things happen, such as me reading A LOT and I went over to the relationship forum and started browsing around and it soon caught my attention that HPD seems to be a hot topic over there. That made me a bit curious so I started reading.

I do understand that HPD and BPD are both in cluster B and they kinda go ...

Good day everyone! I hope you are all doing marvelous!!

I have another question as a non about my friend/ex/it's complicated who I highly suspect as BPD. You see, he's extremely possessive.

He gets upset if I don't text him back in what he deems an appropriate time (he's more patient on some days than others)...he's wary of my guy friends...he HATES the fact that I get along very well with his family and am ...

Okay, I have the anger down. It rarely gets out of my control anymore. I still struggle badly when I get depressed though. When I'm triggered and feel that empty worthlessness, I can't get out of it. My therapist is trying to help me change my thought processes, but it just doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone have any tricks they use that helps? I'll give anything a go, I hate feeling that way.

im just curious about how you behaved when you where young, i remember me being extremelly shy and did almost never talk. i still struggle with that when i am with friends but its like night and day if you compare it to when i was little. Sometimes i would also have sudden outburst becuse of trivial things but fellt so ashamed at myself afterwards. i did never start a fight, infact i was bullied ...

Has anyone dx'd with borderline here had a relationship with a bipolar? I can't find anything about how they would work as a couple on the internet.
