News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

In a meeting with my therapist this week she said that its important to think about the moments in our early life that have changed us forever. This reminded me of something I had once read that said that everytime parents fight in front of their children they are changed.

The most interesting part of the conversation was when she pointed out that at moments of trauma, its not the actual factual details of the ...

I need to vent, my journal just isn't doing anything for me tonight.

I think I might be slipping back into depression. I hope not. I've been spending a lot of time today ruminating over some childhood trauma, trying to make sense of some things, and it's bringing some stuff up.

I feel depressed tonight, but especially feel worthless, and an urge to punish myself (had a minor urge to cut earlier). Fighting this influx ...

Have had a session each week for a month and so far only covered my past and started working on a timeline. This therapist charges $120/he, though I am getting a low income discount. I am starting to feel tired off because we haven't gotten ANYWHERE close to actual DBT. She keeps saying, "next session, we'll start covering DBT." I don't need talk therapy, I need to change my life. I already have people to ...

I posted this in the PTSD forum but there is literally no one there right now, so I am coming back to my familiar place with the hope for some more immediate support. I do not want to call a crisis line for this. It's difficult for me to verbalize and I don't want to talk to a stranger. Some of you here know me, and you've probably heard me cry about this before, but ...

I don't even care how ridiculous this all sounds--I need to vent. I'm nearing the point at which I'm really just about done with life. BPD crept upon me in my mid-adolescence, and has only gotten progressively worse. I feel as though I can't do, say, think, or feel anything right--or at least, the way that a normal person would. I'm really resisting the urge to self-harm right now, because if I do, my boyfriend ...

Hey all, my name is Peter. I have several diagnosed anxiety disorders, but I think I'm just some kind of psychological mess. I threw around the possibility that I had BPD around five years ago, but my psychologist at the time didn't agree.
The main behavior that makes me wonder if I have BPD is that I become obsessed with women and if they don't like me back I use threats of suicide to get ...

Does this COMPLETELY bother anyone else as much as it bothers myself?

I find it INSULTING for people to pretty much minimize how I feel cause theres a kid over in africa who is starving or whatever their comparison is! Regardless, I am in my own unique individual situation and its almost rude to tell me how others have it worse. Contrary to what people may think, it does not help me feel any better. ...

Hi everyone, I'm new here so I don't know how to start writing a post...

I'm feeling that horrible, stressy, anxious feeling right now. It's been coming and going all day, for no apparent reason. Does anyone have any tips on pushing through this? Or even any tips on making go away? I'm having a struggle day today :(

I feel ashamed to admit this for tH first time ever but have to know, is there anyone else out there who tells lies with bpd. I mean bad lies? its like I cant stop myself, if I feel someones about to abandon me I tell a lie... pregnant or a family member just got cancer... etc. Its out of pure desperation so that person sticks around... tries to be there... and maybe then will ...

Okay first of all, I know none of you are professionals, therefore you cannot give me medical advice about pills. I know that has to be explained a lot on these boards and I'm aware of it.

I've noticed I've been slipping more and more into a depressive state and lacking a ton of motivation. What I normally do from now on is work and sleep and eat terribly. I'm just moving further away from ...
