Hey, everyone...

Sooo I'm in the process of getting treatment for bpd and want to do everything I can to make sure I stay on that path, even though it is so tempting and would be too easy just to ditch therapy and fall back into that hole of self-destructive behavior and instability that is so familiar.

I feel like I should shield myself from the general public and those I know and love to ...

I seem to split my emotions into 2 (to simplify) different (people) ? so i end up with one version of me who is decent, kind, loving, empathic, emotional, responsible, concerned with the needs/welfare of others, and another version who is unempathic, disconnected, unemotional, irresponsible, self-centred, interpersonally exploitive and sadistic.

when feeling threatened, i "split myself black" and turn into the "bad" version.

ironically, the version who cares only about herself is actually very self-destructive ...

Hey there, My name is Alice and I'm not really a frequent poster in BPD forum but I am clincally diagnosed as BPD/HPD and I was wondering about the comorbidity of some of the other BPD's in here. Have any of you recived any add on diagnosis with your BPD Rx, or have you just been diagnosed as BPD alone?

I'm very curious about my disorder, and looking to see similarities in others who have ...

Does anyone else freak out & become full of rage when someone doesn't answer your phone call? I do..I immediately assume they are ignoring me on purpose & that they hate me and will never speak to me again. Or sometimes I think they died...which is very scary. I've had this issue for at least 8 years. It doesn't get any better...people have just learned to answer when I call. But occasionally they don't and ...

Ever since I was diagnosed with BPD, I would tell who ever I was dating about two months into it that I was Borderline. That's been about two boyfriends. I'd show them literature on it, explain exactly what it meant and explain some of the behavior I'd shown and why I had acted that way. I'd also try to give them tips on what to do if I ever started to rage or become clingy. ...

Hi please can I have your vote, yes or no on this Q.

Can a BPD ever live happily in a relationship, knowing they come 2nd?
Is it possible for us to handle that, long term?

The context is my BF has a son, who I have realised recently (regardless of BF saying we are joint first) that he will ALWAYS come first no matter how small the issue or how important the situation is ...

Quick run down, my BF has a son from a previous relationship he's 3 and we have him 3 days a week, which admittedly with my limited experience of children I do find it challenging at times. (although I would never say that).

I feel like such an outsider, like ultimately it will always be him and his son and I can never compete with that and that he might "say" I'm up there in ...

I was diagnosed as having BPD years ago and am basically a textbook case. I used to cut, have an eating disorder, I drank everyday for a year and a half, I grew up with an abusive and neglectful parent, my temper and rage is out of control sometimes and I definitely have issues with relationships.
I've gotten drastically better in the past few years, especially concerning my self destructive behaviors. I would wander around ...
