What is the difference between the concept of the no-self of Buddhist philosopy, realizing that any idea of who we really are is just a fabrication of our own minds and not real and limiting and leading to suffering, and the 'problem' of having no identity in BPD?

Surely, according to Buddhist ...

Today I came un-done (a bit long I think)

This is the first topic I’ve ever started here, but I’ve been a member for a while. Even though I don’t have an official diagnosis of BPD, I have, or used to have most of the symptoms. These days, I don’t act much like a borderline, but I still automatically feel and think in the same ways, but I have learned to behave in more ‘functional’ ways. I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression ...

Few Questions

First of all, I was watching my favorite show tonight (House) and at the end (Spoilers, sorry) Cuddy says to House: I just want us to be friends and House says back: That's the last thing I want us to be.

For one I am a Huddy and want them to get together, so that made me sad. But then I started sobbing because I just got out of a relationship (a VERY VERY BAD ...

Just diagnosed with BPD, don't know what to do?

Hi everyone,

My names Lisa, I'm 25 years old and today I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.

I don't have any friends (who I haven't hurt) that I can speak to about this. My family doesn't understand, nor want to
talk about it. And I just feel so alone right now. I don't know what to do. I'm just sitting here wandering where my life went,
and freaking out over being told I have ...

love?

Around winter of last year I met a woman and we dated for about six months. We are both borderline, and for awhile the relationship was amazing. I am very clingy and protective, but she was too so it was fine. We spent every second of our spare time together because it was if we were in some fantasy world of euphoria. It ended because she could no longer handle that my best friend was ...
