I am absolutely horrified that my 17 year old daughter (undiagnosed BPD) came home today from her counselling session and told me that her counsellor had said this to her......

- out of all the patients that she has counselled, my daughter is the one that has 'touched' her most. That she worries about her on a daily basis, that she has cried for her and that she has so many deep rooted problems. She ...

Hey everyone im 25 years old, i have a partner and 2 young girls. i just found out my partner has been cheating on me, surprise surprise... anyway more to the point, i lost control of everything started cutting myself and talking about running away killing myself. anyways to cut a long story short, i went to see someone as i really wanted to give up on life, but also know how it feels when ...

okay so of my all my symptoms, my anger is probably the scariest to my friends and myself. I get so enraged quite frequently. I feel mostly negative emotions, but anger is my favorite. I would much rather feel hate and anger than sadness, it makes me feel powerful when I normally feel powerless. I have no impulse control and I often have violent thoughts.

Is it common for us borderlines to act on our ...

I just wondered if anyone has come across someone with BPD feigning that they are dyslexic?

My daughter (aged 17 and yet to be diagnosed) has always been very clever, her handwriting and spelling have always been excellent, but recently she has started to write her 'S' and 'N' s the wrong way round. Her college tutors and pyschiatrist are baffled and think it MAY be an attention seeking scam. She has recently been diagnosed ...

How do I tell my parents that I think I have major problems? I overthink what could possibly happen if I bring up how I feel towards them.. I feel as though I'll never be happy, I'd be happy with dying, happy with sleeping forever.. Happy with anything BUT this life. I dunno how I would tell them that, but I know that if I don't get help soon, something very, very bad is going ...

A party I was going to today got cancelled and I can't find anybody else to hang out with that I like. I can't deal! I've been trying not to scream and go crazy, but I'm sobbing and just rocking back and forth. I can't stop crying. It so ridiculous but I feel so ANGERED and so HURT that I just can't be with people and be sociable. My mom said she'd take me out ...

Hello everyone. I'm a guy, and though that seems to be pretty rare here, I think I might have BPD.

I hate admitting this, even to myself, but I'm never proud of anything I do. I'm always pushing the envelope. Everyone tells me I inspire them, how great I'm doing, but it's all meaningless to me. I only do it because I feel so damn empty, and I always hope that my next accomplishment will ...

I dated a girl with bpd for 2 years, that really put me through hell these past 2 months. She really hurt me, very badly, and it was just too much. We have broken up time after time, and every time I think that this time it is really over, she always comes back to me somehow. This time, this is really, really different though. Usually I had to be so sensitive with things that ...

I dated a girl with bpd for 2 years, and tried SO hard to convince myself she was a good person, but I just can't do it anymore. This girl wasn't nearly as bad as some of the other stoires you hear, and she is high functioning, but she was still selfish, manipulative, and down right evil at times. You probably know exactly what I'm talking about so no further explanation is needed-- but what ...

Two people with BPD, both very aware of it and committed to dealing with it. Lots in common (of course, I guess two people constantly mirroring one another could never not get along or think they have lots in common . . .)

Is this a bad situation? I mean even on a friendship level it feels really good, but even though I have things very well under control and it seems she does too, ...
