News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

Hi everyone, I'm just wondering how those of you with BPD cope on a daily basis? I'm going to tell you about my history. I was recently diagnosed with BPD by a therapist after almost a decade of wondering what the hell was going on with me. My freshman year of high school is when I really started to develop symptoms. I was placed on Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Citolopram, Effexor, Paxil, and Buspar up until I ...

To make a long story short. I have a friend her and i love each other very much, but after talking we decided that a relationship would just not work at the moment, she also lives 20 hours away, we both have BPD "not why we dont think it will work" we want to be very close friends though because we do get along we never fight and we know each other to the point ...

Anyone else out there have a thing for sociopathic men?

I have fallen for three and each relationship was more devastating than the one before.

I am now actively working to recover from the last relationship and to try to address how my borderline personality made me particularly susceptible to the draw of a sociopath, and how my constant fear of abandonment kept me engaged with him for far longer than i should have been. ...

Hates being abandonded

Eager to please

We've been together 3 years and we have a great sex life. The only hold back we have is my extreme jealousy which I've been trying to deal with since about the last 2 years in our relationship. For instance, I get super angry when Angelina Jolie or anyone crazy attractive like her is on the screen. I push his hand away and try to isolate myself because I simply cannot deal with him looking ...

Hi,

I've just been searching for answers to explain my mothers irrational behavior throughout my childhood to this present day. I think I've found it - She has borderline personality disorder.

I'm 21, male. I grew up in (and still live there) a single parent household (my mother). We also live with my grandmother who is an alcoholic and was the source of many issues when I was growing up, though she's settled down a ...

I would also like to know how you guys cope when overwhelmed by "life events"...?

I'm new to this board and new to accepting that I have features of BPD, if I have made great strides in functioning over years of therapy and self-inquiry. But, I have heard that feeling jealous/fear of being replaced by someone else is thing with us BPD people.

I have always felt jealousy - the first moment I felt it was when my parents brought my younger sister home from the hospital - I was ...

Hi, I'm new to this site but so far I've been really comforted by the stories of people's experiences so I wanted to share mine.

I joined this site from the sexual addiction forum even though I have a bona fide dx of bipolar. It seems if you've had one psychotic episode in your life you get an automatic dx of bipolar and once that happens a lot of pshychiatric professionals let personality disorders fall ...

So I have been off anti-depressants since July this year, and for the most part it is going well. I feel like myself again and feel less like a uni-polar zombie robot... (not to mention I am much nicer off meds... they made me into such a b*tch).
BUT in terms of confidence and self esteem, I have gone down hill... a LOT. I guess this makes sense as serotonin has been shown to be ...
