News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

I hate everything again... all because something stupid. ... but now I feel like getting excited is pointless and only leads to getting depressed.... The recruiter told my fiance that getting married before he leaves is an incredibly bad idea, and not to do it. Now I'm just... meh! I'm like... well what's the point of being engaged?! He's not even going to be around.... how can I enjoy an engagement when I never see ...

Every few months I go through a 2-3 week period of being pretty psychotic. It's always triggered by something. Usually by something scaring me or THINKING (real or not real) that someone is lying to me. 2 months ago this happened because I THOUGHT my fiance lied about going to get fast food. How ridiculous does that sound? I know now that now but at the time it was so real.

Last night when entering ...

I've been researching this forum quite extensively due to my fiance's behaviour. I would like to know if I'm on the right track here but appreciate that nobody can diagnose a personality disorder over the internet....and based on my obviously one-sided opinion. However...

My partner is covered in self-harm marks but they are old, healed-up and she hasn't cut or harmed herself for over 10 years. She is 30 and was in and out of ...

What happens when rationalization doesn't work? Or isn't enough to stop a powerful emotion?

Something really, rather, insignificant happened the other day. My therapist called me & asked me not to email him anymore. Apparently because it was his private email, (he doesn't have a professional one) & he said there is a risk of his family reading them & its a confidentiality issue.

Rationally, I understand his reasoning. But I can't stop this overwhelming ...

I have two topics:
1. I just decided to switch my major (some may know who i am now :( and now i feel like my identity is nothing, I feel like nothing almost all the time anyway, so this doesnt help. I HATE being normal and the degree is extremely general but it is what is available for me. SO BORED WITH IT

2. My childhood ...

BACKGROUND:
Like most of us, I struggle with having friends and socialising. When in a bigger crowd I can usually revert to telling jokes, funny stories, giving exaggerated accounts of times in my life and can become quite the life-and-soul of a party, but I always come away from these things feeling utterly hollow and sad, as if I've missed an opportunity to connect with people.

I realised a few years ago that I never ...

I'm not really looking for an answer. I don't think there's anything anyone could say.

It's amazing how this girl wrote a song that would come to echo my exact feelings later in life.

I was listening to that song above over and over again earlier... and ###$ the people who bastardized/sampled the original. The irony is I discovered the song through her during our separation. The even ...

Someone on another thread recommended that I look into BPD because what I described to her sounded like I could possibly have BPD... I looked up some symptoms because I don't know what else to do:

Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment- the idea of being alone really scares me. Sometimes when someone leaves the room or something I feel like they're never coming back or I'll never see them again. I will ...

Hi everyone. As I'm sure you can see, I am new here. However, I have been reading this forum for quite some time now. As I'm sure you may have guessed, I suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder, and manifest virtually every symptom characteristic of this unfortunate affliction (with the EXCEPTION of infidelity in relationships, which is something I am vehemently opposed to). Though I am not yet ready to share my own story, I thought ...

When I need a laugh, I read this online magazine. http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-popular-phrases-that-make-you-look-like-idiot_p2/ Yes, it is "the" Cracked. This article was about phrases that make you look like a jackass if you use them. The #1 was "everything happens for a reason". When I consider my situation, I wonder why. Why me? Why this?
