Hi,

I think the younger daughter of my girlfriend's family is BPD (I'm still a psych student but she shows lots of symptoms). Her parents are NPD and they did everything possible for the younger to have conflict with her older sister (my girlfriend).

She doesn't know how to deal with anxiety, frustration or any negative feeling, and ends up cutting herself in an attempt to feel ...

My wife of one year left me 6 weeks ago. I have BPD. We were each other’s best friends for 5 years before we got married. I have been so lost, so empty in so much pain it’s unbearable.

Just wanted to wish you all a happy Xmas. It certainly has been a strange old year. A testing one for most of us I would guess. And Xmas might have to be a bit different for some of us this year. I also know that it's a difficult time for a lot of us, especially if we're away from those we care about because of some stupid virus. But we are all still here. ...

Hi, i am a 19 yr old female, i've suspected that i have bpd for a few months now and am going to ask my therapist if they can get me tested soon.

Lonely these days + covid ...:I’m trying not to crack. I’ve been matched up with Narcissists and now I don’t trust myself. I’ve never had a decent relationship and eager for a mate/companionship/real love but I don’t trust myself bc I’ve come across narcs so much.

My feelings towards friends are deteriorating bc I feel they should be more in tune with my feelings. Then I doubt if it’s realistic or if it’s BPD.

Hello,

In the case of those with intellectual disability and borderline intellectual function, what is the best way to test for a personality disorder? Should it be done by a neuropsychologist?
