News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

Hello,

I have just recently ended a relationship with a BPD when I overheard him having a conversation with another girl he met on a dating site. This happened after he was toying with the idea of marriage with me. We have had numerous breakups, endless cycles of really good times followed by horrible times. I knew he was BPD and I thought I could handle it but this time I can not. I did ...

All I read is about how horrible people with bpd are. Vengeful, mean spirited, hateful people that you should be thankful you aren't around. Any relationship support forums are all riddled with nothing but sad storied and break ups and cheers that they are finally rid of their crazy. I've heard us described as robots, not completely human, childlike. I hate this, I have trouble even accepting this is a real thing and that I'm ...

Has anyone else experienced this while trying to work through the struggles of BPD?
There will be a period of time where I try to take all the right steps and make all the healthiest choices I can so that I feel better and my BPD doesn't take over completely (I mean, I'd still have episodes, but for the most part I'd feel decent).

Lately, however, I've been purposly choosing all the wrong things that ...

As a person who has struggled with an eating disorder for years I know that only someone who has gone through the exact same struggle can understand it so I'm asking those who suffer for support.

Ever since I was a little girl, I've always felt off and abnormal. Lately I've been reading more and more about BPD and it seems to fit me like a glove. Of course I cannot be diagnosed over a ...

What have been people's experience with getting diagnosed with BPD? Have your therapists (etc) said anything like "Don't let this run your life, but I'm Dx ing u with BPD" or "I have been hesitant to Dx you with BPD because of the impact on your insurance rates and treatment, bla bla" or "I think you may have BPD but it generally isn't a good idea to give you the Dx because of the way ...

So BPD and PMDD are really similar, have you noticed? My question is, how do you know if its PMDD or BPD and can you have both? Its kind of funny, its like - ya, I get really cranky and stuff except the week after my period. Thats when I just have my personality disorder. :o

My doctors and people don't seem to want to diagnosis me ...

I have to admit that I'm fairly skeptical about the possibility of finding help at this point, but...

I'm a 50 year old woman, and have suffered a variety of psychological symptoms throughout most of my life. I have functioned extremely well from all external appearances - I was very successful professionally, was married for 15 years (to an extreme narcissist - bad combination), and have a very wonderful 10 year old son. All of ...

Ok, if acetylcholine is bad for BPD but Bs have poor memory then shouldn't we be trying to GET more acetylcholine? acetylcholine is important in making memories and it is a major component in making Fish Oil (omega 3) improve memory, so if I wanna improve my increasingly bad memory (probably not because of age, but BPD, ... it will eventually be aging too), and want to take something to improve it, chances are good ...

I am chronically empty. I feel like I don't have a personality....... all I have are problems and negative feelings. Nothing makes me happy and I can't remember ever being happy. The only time I feel "happiness" is through self destructive things like compulsive binge eating. I am missing something in me that others have, that allows me to feel real happiness.

I obsess over my looks constantly...I have struggled with eating disorders and weight ...
