I was just curious if anyone else has gone through this scenario:

Met partner, didn't know about BPD,
diagnosed/treated/recovery,
Then!?

My situation is that I've been with the same man for the past going on ten years. I'm working through a lot of issues and he's very patient and understanding. I'm always wondering if he thinks I'm cured? or if he's just waiting? It's hard to know and I don't know what to ask to ...

I have come to the realization that so many of my reactions, impulsive decisions, mistakes, etc stem from never feeling safe and desperately reaching for safety even when what I am doing will only lead to self-destruction. I am using therapy as a means to finding safety for at least one hour a week, not as a means to making progress. I feel that this world is a dangerous place for me, even though the ...

Man I don't know what's been going on.. I was doing great for months and it's all going crappy again. I'm sorry if this isn't in good paragraphs and stuff.. I just don't feel like putting effort into much of anything lately. My friend went on a trip for a day which was brutal torture. I started worrying non stop that he'll go on another. I starve myself some days because I'm miserable. I caught ...

I hope it's ok to start a thread about this as a newbie. I can't talk to anybody in real life about this because nobody knows I have BPD (apart from my husband). I'll try to keep it short.

Today's a really hard day for me because it's the 4th anniversary of when I abruptly ended a very happy relationship that I'd been in for 15 years. I didn't realise it at the time it ...

Hey everyone,

I have been thinking of going to this group (they have meeting's all over Australia where I live, and also in some other country's) and it's FREE! (it says a small donation to meet refreshment cost's is usual, though "strictly voluntary")

So, I was wondering, has anyone been? And if yes, what did you think of the meeting's? Would you go again or recommend them to others?

Here is a link to their ...

I'm real upset right now. I'm not sure if I'm over reacting and being irrational or not I can't tell. A family member is working late. He was supposed to cook me dinner like always. I thought he'd be home by now. I'm very hungry. I called and he was rude to me. I'm sure he's hungry too. Honestly though.. He could stop what he's doing and finish it tomorrow. It's nothing that has to ...

Hi,

Couldn't see an 'introduce myself' thread so I thought I would just say a few words. I was diagnosed with BPD when I was 19 (I'm 26 now) but it was only until last summer that myself, my loved ones and my doctors starting taking it seriously (being sectioned tends to do that). I have experienced a couple of episodes of major depression as well. The last one, which occurred last summer, culminated in ...

Ok, I am new here, so I am already leery of posting anything, but who knows, maybe it will turn out to be helpful..

I guess my main question is how do people manage to stay in therapy, week after week, consistently? I can't seem to do it. Every time I start up therapy, something will inevitably happen to make me stop. The first time, it was because one time I just couldn't cope with ...

I am having problems with short term memory and i dont know if its because of the flouxzine that o have been on for the past 8 weeks or because of the bpd or if i am just losing my mind????
For example, i went out for a family meal on sunday, we sat in the bar for the first half hour before having the meal. After the meal we went into the bar and ...

*Let me preface this thread by saying I am not starting this to be a debate on the legalities of marijuana. If you don't like talking about it or feel abhorantly against it then please do not post on this thread. I am starting this as a topic to discuss those that may use marijuana as a form of coping and how it affects them and their mental illness. I am not here to argue ...
