News of Significant Others, Family & Friends Forum

Hi,
I'd be very grateful, if someone could please help me identify
a) whether what I describe qualifies as a physiological problem
b) if yes, what specific kind and term it should be
c) and how can I deal and avoid it
d) whether I am correct in my observations, or I am prejudiced and paranoid

My story:
It all begins with my grandmother, my mom' mother. She was quite mentally strange, and her case ...

This message was moved from the BPD forum to the Significant others/family/friends forum. A trigger warning was added for those who have BPD for relationship issues and difficulties with being in a relationship with someone diagnosed with BPD

I need all of your kind advice and help on this one!

It has been over 4 months since I last posted on here. I have struggled for over a year with the same woman, and you ...

A few weeks ago, I told my uBPDw that I was done and couldn't handle her behavior any more. I immediately regretted this and tried to reconcile. She was not willing to be receptive to anything I had to say at that time. Ever since, she has been overly edgy. She has been yelling at our special needs daughter, when she is normally very loving and tolerant of her. Over the past few days, she ...

First of all, words cannot express how grateful I am to have found this site. For those of you with any form of mental instability, I'm so happy to see you here and gain insight from all of you. Thank you.

Okay, 6 days ago i walked away from a 2 1/2 yr. relationship with a woman I now know has some form of PD. I would say BPD, but I'm not a psychiatrist. She ...

So I met this girl on POF (red flag already) and we hit it off on there so we exchanged numbers. After a week she finally came over to my place where we had a beer and watched a movie. She told me that she had bipolar 2 and that if I wanted to I could run. I wish I did now, I regret not doing my research on bipolar like I should have. I ...

I'm coming out of a relationship with my boyfriend who I strongly suspect has a personality disorder - borderline or bipolar. After two years of ups and downs, his savior one day and his enemy the next, I told him we shouldn't be together anymore. I'd been unhappy for a while at that point, either bored with our stay-in lifestyle, or trying to ride the waves of his mood swings and tendencies to be cruel ...

So my relationship with my ex is finally done. The relationship was literally horrific and for the first time in my life I have a sense of peace. I went through so much and was never actually received an apology or a sense of remorse from him. Everything he did ...

Hi I've recently realised I'm dating a narcissist, I always knew there was something not right with him but after reading up I realise his behaviour fits ALL the cryteria, he lavises me with attention but after a while started to belittle me and make me feel I did everything wrong, he also expected me to behave according to his rules of conduct. He splits up with me at any time I dare to critise ...

This is my first post here, so please forgive my lack of proper lingo. I'll start with some background and hopefully get to the proper questions... I'm so confused right now. I would like to hear the perspective of persons with BPD, so I can better understand my life.

My wife and I started dating around 5 1/2 years ago. We hit it off right away. We had what I considered all of the normal ...

I'm in a romantic relationship with an HPD, and I'm madly in love with her. She has admitted to me that she believes she has HPD. Apparently, that's a huge thing to do. However, I can tell that she's about to leave me, because my "supply" has run dry, and she's going to want a new supply soon. I've been used and dumped by multiple HPD girls in the past; something about me must make ...
