Is my BPD getting the best of me, or am I justified in feeling this way? And can anyone relate?

I wrote a text message to my friend a few hours ago apologizing for being so moody around him lately, and I tried to reassure him that it had nothing to do with him, and all to do with me. I spilled my heart out to him and told him that I loved him.

It's ...

Based on my other topic "why avoid hugs?" ( living-with-mental-illness/topic99366-10.html ), I'm opening this one to question you...

How can I express to a borderline friend that I appreciate her friendship, that I want to be trusted and want to help whenever she needs? What actions can I do if not a sincere hug?

I feel so betrayed. I was referred to a service that gives DBT nearly two years ago after seeing an emergency mental health team and telling them of a few things including suicidal ideation/gestures and feeling 'out of it' etc. Since then I have not heard anything back. I followed up and was told that only women are allowed access to this service (god knows why I was told that). I find out that was ...

This is a text message I got from my sister after I was nearly in the psychiatrists office and I told my mum over the phone:"Im at the hospital, leave me alone." in a raised voice.

Why must you insist in upsetting mum and dad so much? Mum’s been calling to see how you are, her son. Although you don’t act like you are anymore you hardly talk to any of us and just mumble ...

So, I always knew there was something weird about me. I have had non-stop violent relationships, if I cant push them into doing it to me, I always end up doing something crazy, which I have been given allowances for...

But, I knew that there was something wrong with me because no one I know has acted like me in a relationship. "Get the f*** out" and then "Where the f*** are you going?!" have ...

I seriously think I have BPD. I'm not self diagnosing myself, nor am I expecting a diagnosis from you guys. I'm merely looking for help because this is interfering with school and work, and I'm starting to fail my English class and I don't know what to do, and I also want to see what you guys think, and looking for support if it's not too much to ask because this is really distressing.

I have been seeing the same therapist and psychiatrist for almost 3 years (which was during a hospitalization). Neither of them have told me what my diagnosis is, but I sure fit each of the criteria of BPD. Over the last month I have had SI on and off. We have been communicating closely until something went awry this week...

When I left my session on Monday after i had been crying my heart out, ...

Some memes I created. For those that don't recognise it. The image is from a show called Little Britain her catch phrase is "Computer says no."

I've recently realized that my mental health issues are probably a fair sight closer to BPD than a straight anxiety disorder. I'm working with a therapist, which is helping some, but I still have major anxiety attacks once or twice a week that leave me not really being able to make any progress with anything before getting set back by spending an entire evening panicking about how no one will ever love me, and all ...
