Hi everybody,

To make a very long story short, I am very convinced that one of my friends has BPD - I'm not a psychologist, but having known her for fourteen years, having followed how her life has developed and the things she says - that she feels she lacks her own "self", the emotional ups and downs, push-pull, etc. - it just all seems to fit the bill. Since my cousin has BPD, I ...

Is it a learned defense mechanism for high functioning individuals suffering from BPD to withdraw from potential forms of relationship abandonment? I mean if you know there's a chance of getting hurt by someone, isn't the easiest way to prevent that is by not being intensely involve with anyone at all. Or does that behavior make you as an individual who suffers from avoidant personality disorder?

Sorry I'm confused, I've been diagnosed as an indiv ...

I am in a relationship with a BPD male who didnt let me know until we were a month or so in. We recently reconnected after a break (self imposed by him). It seems that everytime we take a step forward he seems to either not talk or only rarely say anything for a week or so. However whenever we make these steps forward he says he is ok with it.

SO was away all weekend, since Thursday night, and he came home and wanted me to sit next to him on the couch, said he wanted to hold me. I didn't want him to touch me and I said so. I wish he would go back to work.

It's agonising thinking if he'll come back or not. It's like being kicked when I'm already down, emotionally i mean. I'm still hoping he'll come back but I just wanted to know if anyone else has been through ...

So, I have been reading this book, "Lost in the Mirror" and it has brought up so much junk for me it's not funny....

One of the realizations I have had is that I'm still punishing myself for something in my LTR. I want to go into detail but I'm afraid it's too horrible.

Anyone that is strong today and reads this -- my question, should I bring this up with my SO or leave ...

My roomate triggered me. So I ended up, among other things tearing a shrub apart.

I've made the decision to go back to seeing a therapist regularly as I feel there are still residual issues remaining from C-PTSD and BPD. I'd like to do the DBT course again but the one in my area is lead by a therapist I didn't really get along with... so hesitant to make contact and do the course again. The other option I found is CBT and ACT. Has anyone ever done Acceptance and ...
