News of Significant Others, Family & Friends Forum

I am repeating a pattern of pretending I don't care when I actually do; then I regret not acting and expressing what I want. It's some kind of pride or wanting to appear strong and not caring as if I don't need her.

e.g. She woke up before me and started dressing to leave. I had plenty of time to grab her and tell her not to leave but I pretended that I am still ...

***this post has been moved to the significant others, friends and family forum as it is about a friend that possibly has bpd. i am leaving a shadow in bpd so you can get support from both forums***

For 6 years I had a friend with BPD and was either isolated or bullied by everyone else at school. I didn't know what BPD was at the time, so when my friend went through the cycle ...

Hi all,

I've read a lot about BPD within the last month or so and I totally suspect that a girl that I dated has BPD. I will try to briefly describe what happened to me and if you can please evaluate and offer some insights, I would really appreciate it!

First off, this girl has been a friend for a few years. We were not super close, but we kept in touch online and ...

Hi Everyone

I have been is an abusive relationship for 8 years with an alcoholic(also uses other drugs).

Just recently my spouse quit drinking, and right after that he started showing signs of delusions. He would tell me that there would be police/government after him. That they were spying on him.

We spoke to at general practitioner and then got referred to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist prescribed anti-anxiety, anti-depressants and sleeping pills to control the ...

I started dating this girl last November. We met on an online dating site and texted each other for a couple days before meeting. Our texting would last for several hours each day. When we finally met we clicked and were pretty affectionate immediately. The next day she cancelled her plans with family and wanted to hangout with me again, so we did. We actually hung out 12 out of 13 straight days when we ...

***where8 - I'm moved this thread to SOF&F but left a link behind in the HPD forum. The HPD forum is primarily intended for those with HPD who are seeking support, but the question is open ended enough that you may get some valuable perspectives from both forums. - xdude***

I've come across this in threads but I have not seen a full description of all typical stages and how long they may approximately last. ...

I've been seeing her for about 2 years. We'll go out on our own typically and she'll go out with fans, typically nightclubs on weekends etc. Sometimes we'll fight and ignore each other before the weekend and she will then go out with them. I gather it may be typical for a woman with HPD to run to the fan club in such instances. I think she wants to go out wih them alone. I ...

Hi I'm new to this and wasn't sure whether I should post this here.

I have a 14 year old niece who insists on lying.

She was caught talking to various ages males online and send explicit messages, videos and pictures to men via Facebook.
Messages included a bunch if lies, telling them that she doesn't live with or see her mother, lies about her drinking bleach and being taken to hospital.


He most recent ...

I was posting these in the other section but it was mentioned I should post here instead, so I'll copy my posts here. Hopefully that's ok.

I've been seeing a woman for about 2 years. She leaves town for months at a time but we see each other often when she is here. She also has ...

Hi Everyone,
This is my first post. I need some advice on how to deal with my opposite-sex (female) friend. I’ve been reading a lot on this and other forums and I strongly suspect she may suffer from BPD. I’m not asking for a diagnosis, but I hope to gain some understanding of what drives her behavior. This, in turn, might make it easier to deal with her.

Here are some of the things she ...
