News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

Only thing I see on these forms is people who either have a BPD or are living w/a BPD person. In my case neither is true. I've read hundreds of articles on diagnosis, how to, symptoms, treatment etc. I can't even come up w/one symptom that I've. Why is my husband convinced then?? Think child support, think property settlement. I bet he is not the only one trying to convince others that I've a 'mental ...

Hi Ddee,

I wrote you several days ago, you wrote back and I tried to answer your response and for several days it just stays in my outbox and won't send. I've tried looking up how to fix the problem and it just says contact the administrator, which I don't know how to do if I can't send messages, so this is the only way I know how to contact anybody...would appreciate some help or ...

Hello all...I have recently discovered this forum and read many of the posts and can relate very much. I was dxed a little over 2 years ago, just before having a violent toxic reaction to Effexor which caused me to have to leave work...I've struggled tremendously since then to stay afloat, filed for SS disabilty and am 8 months into the run around and now awaiting an appeal hearing that unfortunately may come too late ...

How do I find out if I really have this disorder, or my therapist just needs a diagnoses because perhaps she doesnt know how to deal with issues. Can it be that I myself have driven myself to the state of dysfunction, since I wasn't always like this? How do I really know?

I am currently trying to leave my bf alone. We have been together for 3 1/2 years and it has been a rollercoaster ride all the way. I am trying to figure out if he is borderline or APD. He seems to have the characteristics of both. He's very controlling, wants to occupy all of my time (when im not at work), he is a liar ( I can't believe a word out of his ...

My boyfriend/roommate depending on what day has bpd. Last night he came home and I knew something was changing in him. He brought the dog in the house had the TV on low so it would help the noises he kept hearing. I realized it wasn't the noises outside it was in his head. He also had a headache. Which he gets all the time. Mostly after he's went out drinking. He closed both doors ...

Hi , this is my first post and I'm hoping that someone can help me. In a nutshell I have a lot of problems, this spring I attempted to commit suicide and started cutting to relieve the endless chaos and pressure. I was diagnosed with a number of disorders, including personality disorder nos, with borderline, avoidant and dependant traits. What is this? what does it mean? The psych RN said that the distinction wasn't important. ...

I have been married for almost 4 years. My wife and I have 2 amazing kids. I knew something was very wrong soon after we got married, but assumed that what ever was wrong, I could help her see a better way of looking at the world since many people I know say I have the patience of a saint.

It has only gotten worse over the years and I now act mean back to ...

My girlfriend is a borderline personality. The relationship has been off to the typical idealized start. We have just had our first situtation in which she is splitting to avoid my rejection. She has villainized me over a very trivial issue. While criticizing me heavily, she seems to be partially aware of what she is doing. I did not defend myself agressively or over-explain. I just told her that I would not hurt her like ...
