Hi guys! Obviously I'm new here, which means that I finally got fed up feeling alone with this stupid disorder and sought out other people who know what I'm going through. Bear with me because I don't know how this blog/profile thing works yet, haha.

A few quick things about me, I'm a 25 year old female, recently diagnosed with bpd just last year. I always knew that something was different inside me and then ...

A Family Resemblance

-Audre Lorde

My sister has my hair my mouth my eyes
and I presume her trustless.
When she was young and open to any fever
wearing gold like a veil of fortune on her face
she waited through each rain a dream of light.
But the sun came up
burning our eyes like crystal
bleaching the sky of promise and
my sister stood
Black, unblessed and unbelieving
shivering in the first cold ...

I'm not sure if I like it or hate it. I'm not sure if I've been rude or polite all day. Have I talked too much? Or too little? I'm starving but not hungry at all. I'm happy and energetic and I'm depressed and need to sleep. I want to cut my wrist but I rather get a tattoo.

One good thing came from it.. I managed to make 5 phone calls that I've been ...

I want to start by saying that I'm gay as is my best friend so that may clear up any confusion in the following story. I am not psychologist and I have only very basic knowledge of psychology but I think my friend may have BPD and I wanted to know if someone could let me know if that may be the case and what I should do.


Initially I thought he was bi-polar. But ...

But this makes me also feel so unbelievably trapped...coz right now...i dont want to be here...i dont want to be me...everything about me i just wish i could change...well not everything but pretty near most. Is it even possible to keep being that strong for someone so special...what if he in the long run ...

i just wonered if anyone had any tips or advice. what do find works best when you can feel a big argument developing?? even as im saying something i can hear myself saying 'dont react, dont react', but i still do. Ive started walking away mid argument as i am now aware that it the only way i can calm down...but i cant seem to do this before it gets to this stage.

I was ...

OK, firstly, I'm not technically borderline, I have several borderline traits but not enough to meet the criteria. My official diagnoses are PDD NOS (atypical autism) and PTSD (sexual abuse related).

Anyway, every so often something will set me off and I'll start screaming and crying, threatening (or actually trying) to hurt myself, shoving or hitting others, etc. This only ever happens with family members, and happens when they do something that makes me feel ...

First, I would like to say Thank You to all of you. After reading this forum, I was convinced something was wrong with me and checked myself into the hospital where I stayed for 5 days. I never really addressed what was really going on while there though. I told my DR. that I feared BPD and she assured me that she didn't see that in me. So I wrote a journal entry summing of ...

Hello all. Newbie here, need some advice on whether to go to counseling or not.
I'm so tired of going through therapy and then having to leave because of incompatibility.
I have very good reason to believe that I have bpd. I fit all of the criteria and I couldn't be happier to put a name to the affliction (not happy about being borderline). I'm pretty up and down most of the time and funnily ...
