What type of people are you drawn to? I think I may even have a certain type of person that I am drawn to on this forum. What about you?
I have to say that I feel that I never fit in in the real world, although people call me and want to be my friends, I generally don't have any interest in them. I feel that I am even an outsider on this forum. ...

I know a big part of BPD is getting angry and blowing up. Instead of that, I seem to sob uncontrollebly. I overreact to small criticism by crying. I really don't have much to get angry over.

I don't feel as though I'm borderline. Am I really borderline? Sure... I get angry, I have abandonment issues, I'm extremely sensitive to critisism and rejection and my moods are a little up and down (little meaning a lot), but I don't feel as though I'm borderline...

I know I really should stop talking to an ex, but I just can't do it. I don't feel strong enough to delete him off my facebook, but every time he signs on, I get this feeling like my heart sinks down into my stomach and I have to message him or I have a break down.

I don't know how to get strong enough to cut contact with him...

Anyone have suggestions? I don't ...

Do ya'll experience this situation where your rational mind says you are totally fine with a situation and then later your emotional mind just absolutely flips out?

I found out last night that my Narcissist ex has a new girlfriend. It was completely unexpected because he's not super attractive and really annoying with his bragging and whining and such, so I figured he would be alone forever. Well not only has he met a girl, ...

Lately I've been feeling particularly empty and lonely.
Ever since I started Lexapro at a 20 MG dose, I have been a lot less angry. and DBT seems very promising.
