Hi

I'm new to this. I have done a lot of reading but I'd like to hear other opinions on this as I still can't make sense of it.

I met my ex gf 13 years ago when we were kids. She was a sweet girl back then (not that she has lost ...

I have a father with this illness, I am so afraid of his illness, but love him. I worry about being on his bad list, being on the receiving end of his anger, paranoia, etc. Right now, he wont talk to me because of a misunderstanding! He KNOWS that I worry about him and uses issues like this to make me sad... All I have ever done is listen to him blame me for ruining ...

Hello,

I was curious as to why NPD's flaunt their new victims everywhere. A couple months ago, I unmasked my ex N girlfriend and decided to break up although I still had feelings for her. ...

Hello forum members,

I've come across a couple of women with HPD in my life without having been romantically involved. Their symptoms were pretty much in line with what's known to be typical. Anyway out of curiosity I'm wondering if there's something like "slightly" or "dormant" histrionic. Or an intermediate type which doesn't include all the documented symptoms.

It's about my best friend's sister who I know for 30 years but who I was never ...

I am looking for advice for helping my girlfriend handle her 24yo Borderline Personality Disorder son.
My GF has been living with me for several years now and her son has been out of college for about a year. He moved back home after he graduated and runs a business from there. My GF still lives with me about 30 minutes away from the home where her son is. Over the past year, the son ...

I am living as a 'significant other' to someone who has bipolar (my husband). Much of the time, though I feel very insignificant.

He was diagnosed years ago with rapid cycling depression but now, after having done lots of research and talked to a few people, I realise he must have bp. He admits it himself but has yet to do anything about it. He says he has seen psychs before who were no help. ...

After so much....what? Crap? Lies, deceit, game playing.

I was becoming someone I didn't like, trying to handle this relationship. Now I feel like I am the one who is disordered. Maybe I am?

The smallest thing broke the camels back and the break up was pretty calm actually. Did he end it? Did I? Not sure. Felt mutual.

Will I fair better if he feels he ended it? Will that prevent what often happens ...

Hi everyone,
I am new here and desperately need some advice.

My good (male) friend is on an abusive relationship/breakup roller coaster with a BPD woman. When they’re together, she is jealous and doesn’t allow him to talk to me because in her opinion we’re "too close to be just friends” (I am female). But when they break up, he comes to me for support. He becomes depressed and almost suicidal, and I can’t turn ...

Hi everyone,

I have been with my boyfriend for about a year. When we met, he was unlike anyone I have ever met, full of boundless energy, talkative, confident, affectionate, sexual. We would talk for hours, a lot of the time him talking and bouncing from one topic to another, saying he had so many things in his head he wanted to talk about. As the relationship progressed, he opened up that he had been ...
