Things are going great with my new boyfriend so far. He hasn't done anything to trigger my abandonment fears. He contacts me every day and comes to visit me every weekend and seems so interested in me. I feel so close to him and he seems interested in a commitment.

Problem is another woman is already creating an issue. We knew each other back in high school and I had a crush on him then. ...

Yes I have a Facebook. No it doesn't really trigger me much.

I'm 25 and I am reading about people MY AGE getting engaged, having their wedding, being pregnant or having their child finally be born.

...what? I don't even know how HALF of them are affording kids! These people that I know don't even have serious jobs!!!! What, welfare?!

I feel that I am still young but all this makes me feel SO OLD. ...

Someone posted an article on here (think it was from Psychology Today) and it said ... I thought it said... that about 55 percent of BPD can be inherited? Does anyone remember reading this in ANY article?

I read about it last night I think on NIMH or whatever the acronym is. It didn't give me a percentage but it said scientist are researching and believe our genes can play a role in this. It ...

So, get this........You have to not take part in the sources of misery...or the stuff that upsets you.

Okay, so THEN after that, you have to detatched--objective and logical. Ha Ha. :?

I know a comparable situation. If you remember the movie "Star Dust......" ...

I know I made a topic about this before, but it's been a long time since that so I thought it wouldn't be forbidden to make a new one.

As the title suggests, I have severe jealousy/insecurity problems. My girlfriend and I have been together for about 1,5 months now - but last year, we've been together for a couple of months as well, and we've also been best friends for 8 years now. The ...

am struggling in my relationship a bit. I wanted to know if anyone had any pointers.
Put simply, I want to be physically near him more than he wants to be near me. I know logically this doesn't mean he cares about me less than I care about him, but I take every time he turns down the offer to hang out with me as a personal rejection.


I have felt like he is regularly ...

Everyone here. Join the Peace Corps and travel around the world. Then you'll gain perspective and all your problems will vanish. If you could just stop being so selfish you'd realize the world is a lot bigger than you or your puny insignificant problems. :roll:

My life is a complete disaster.

I'm 30. I was diagnosed with BPD as a teenager but at the time thought it was a #######4 diagnosis and that I was just unique or something. Reading about it now, it's spot on.

I feel like a helpless child. I don't have a job, and my house is a mess. If I'm in a good mood, I clean and feel happy, but sometimes I'll just sink into ...

So I'm currently on sertraline and aripiprazole.

Looking to change at least the sertraline as i've been on it for 10 months and it's done naff all.

The ariprazole helps with my crazier states of mind a little but since being on it people have noted that i've lost my spark.

I was also on lamotrigine for a little while but got taken off it because they wanted to reduce the amount of meds i ...

I walk around with guilt. I am shamed based. Remnants of childhood conditioning. i once did
a weekend therapy workshop and we took baseball bats, yelled at Mom or Dad, whoever shamed
us and kept saying over and over this is not my shame. I give it back to you. I don't take it on.
It was cathartic but it didn't really do the trick. I see know that examining my core beliefs about
myself ...
