News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

Hello all. I'm new to the boards. I'm not new, however, to bpd. I was diagnosed four years ago, at 28 and I have exhibited ALL of the 'criteria.' I've overcome the cutting and the suicide attempts- those were prominent in my early twenties when I was in a really bad situation, unsure of how to cope or live...

I will be returning to a therapist this week, and I thought maybe joining this board ...

This is my current battle along with my abandonment issues. Every day I start my day trying to be more positive. I'm a very negative thinker. I don't know the difference between voicing your opinion and taking it way too far to the point of attacking. I was going over this problem with my fiance yesterday and he tried to explain the difference to me. I sort of understood but I'm hoping someone on here ...

I have been with a man for the last year that in the beginning I LOVE LOVED LOVED. I loved his creativity, the fact that he is an artist, and many things about him seemed to mesh with my worldview. However, I do and have had an issue with splitting him into either a complete amazing guy or completely someone that will ultimately well...leave me. I have been for the last year while with him ...

I can't handle this anymore, My BPD has taken over my life! I live (I mean I exist) with nothing but regret, shame, secrets, and painfull memories. My life seems to have all been negative and now I have no way out! The Mental health team have left me for 4 months and won't return my calls, a therapy appointment has been made for 10 days time but can't wait that long. plus what is ...

relationships are an unfathomable feature of my life with bpd. I mean what the heck makes other people seem like outerspace aliens to me. All my behaviour with other people suggests that I might be dealing with another species, it may not be obvious immediately but my internal sensory management system firmly declares I am potentially dealing with an unknown highly unpredictable and frightening creature. And theres HEAPS of em'!...there bloomin' all over...everywhere.!
Is it ...

I meet this girl on the internet a couple months ago. From the very start she told me she had Borderline Personality Disorder. I thought how bad couple it be.. It's not a real Personality Disorder it's only "Borderline". So a couple months go by and we meet in real life and last Friday she kind of told me that I need to look it up and make sure I know what I am getting ...

I have a strange question...

I'm BPD & HPD, but I get excited when I use and abuse others- intensely excited and 'high' off the feeling of inflicting emotional or sexual torture. :twisted:

I use people for various things here and there (mostly men and mostly for goods and/or money) but when someone hurts me and I fall into rage I want to seek and destroy ...

Hi everyone, I'm new here and looking for a bit of support. For the lat year we have been fostering an amazing 14 yr old girl. She has recently (6 months ago) been diagnosed with bpd. We have a great psychiatrist working with her who is very helpful and supportive. I found this forum and hoped I could get some advice from people living with the condition as to how my family and I can ...

I thought I knew what the term "invalidation" meant, but last night I really experienced it firsthand.

I was talking with a friend and coworker (whom everyone regards as a control freak). She was complaining about a mutual friend who had apparently acted like a real jerk and rather a mess (badly enough that Control Freak was clearly holding back details). Then somehow I got onto how selfish, manipulative, dishonest and inconsiderate I feel my ...

Just seems like I feel things too intensly than is appropriate and then over-react to these intense feelings.
This is for situations that I care about or am obsessing about, because I seem to disregard or blunt other feelings or more so situations out as I intensely focus on the others.

Anyone else describe themselves this way?
