News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

hello everyone;
i m new in the site and i have just diagnosed with BPD and now i m searching and all the information anywhere usually makes me more and more hopeless. now i m in a high degree conscience (usually harmful to myself) and i m considering others more than myself and as we girls call the true loves of our lives as our "heros".. now i m looking from another perspective and questioning ...

All--

I've read through a number of the threads here and would like to say thank you to all who have posted with compassion and respect. I would also like to share a bit of my experience in the hope that someone out there may benefit in some way. I sincerely hope I do not offend anyone--whether by word choice or phrasing. That is not my intent.

I am a Non-BP. That is not to ...

I have been diagnosed with:
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Borderline Personality Disorder.

The one that has controlled my life the most, and is making my everyday life rather difficult is being borderline.
Im sorry this is like a book, but I really hope you take the time to read it, I really want to talk to someone who also has Borderline, and I also want to talk to someone about some of ...

A few months ago I started in a seriously fast-moving, amazingly captivating romantic relationship. I am a young-twenties female, diagnosed borderline and he is a young-twenties male diagnosed manic depressive (i.e. bipolar). We have an incredible connection because we "get" each other's severe mood changes and are often able to help calm the other pretty well. I found that we are very highly compatable in that we either have the EXACT same thought/habit, or the ...

So, I have been avoiding admiting to having any real feelings for the man that I'm sorta "with" right now. I avoided it because I didn't want to commit in any way only to screw it up and hurt him, 'though I'm very certain he was being hurt anyway, I just had an excuse to try and convince myself I didn't have to feel bad. In any case, I finally told him I loved him ...

Sorry this is long..I REALLY need to get this out!!! As I'm writing this.. I am FURIOUS & crying. I have no clue why my mother can't just leave me alone and be gracious to me. I'd like to point out.. she's a compulsive liar. Within the last year or so it's gotten much worse. I tried to confront her about it. All I got was defensiveness and complete denial. She could say something and ...

Hello all,
I have a lot on my mind, and I'm new at this, so please forgive my poor organizational skills.

My dad has Borderline Personality disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and a handful of others as well (Narcissistic? Histrionic? etc...) and he has really just pushed himself to a point where nobody can help him. He keeps getting kicked out of homeless shelters and signed himself out of treatment programs. I am his oldest and only ...

This is my first post so I do not know if I am doing this right. I am non-BPD with a possible BPD sister-in-law. I am concerned about her well being. For many years, I thought her behavior towards me was very disrespectful but now I am seeing that there may be something more going on.

She has always tried to shut me out of events or conversations that involved her father or brother(my husband) ...

hey
so i stopped seeing my therapist the other week(officially discharged, i'd cancelled a few before then)
and i've decided that i'm going to leave my psychiatrist on thursday.(our next session)
i just want out, i don't want to do this anymore. it started off with hope and him making me laugh. now it's just me obsessing over how he/the therapist/the world must hate me/think i'm stupid etc. etc. all i feel is obsessive embarrassment ...

Does anyone here experience a kind of dissociation or a kind of amnesia when they've behaved ragefully?
I have questioned in the past if the rage was a part of my BPD or if I didn't have that particular facet. However, I HAVE raged, badly. I've thrown chairs into walls, causing holes, I've been in fits of rage at loved ones, and yet when it's all over, I forget. It's like my life just keeps ...
