I did not know where else to write about this, I figured it would help me get a better understanding to hear from someone else. I will make this as short as possible, well I dated a woman about 5 years ago and she was all over the place with her moods happy then so depressed that she would say I dont feel like talking today. We dated for about 5 months and it did ...

hi,

i am a 27 yo male. i have been in a relationship with a girl with bdp for about six months now. i am madly in love with her, i love everything about her, her beauty both on the inside and out, her kindness, how she stands out in the crowd. ok, i wont bore you with these details.

As a doctor, i feel like i have enough understanding of the physical implications of ...

I've recently found out my friend is suffering from schizoaffective disorder. He lives pretty isolated from the world, only with some relatives. Due to the isolation he's quite lonely and friendless. He confessed to me he hears voices ("thought broadcasting"). Sometimes there are ups when he feels well and we talk just fine. Then there are downs when he's disordered and needs time to even recognize me. I can see when he's struggling and I ...

Hello, im another newbie to this site but after reading through some other posts i think someone can help me. First off I'm a non, ive been dating my bpd gf for about 8 months now. It's never been the fairytale relationship, even at the start, but i stuck with her because i think i have the whole, "i can save her" mindset. That being said, i truly love her, and to my knowledge she's ...

Hi Guys, new here. Also posted in 'Ask a BPD'. Been reading for several weeks but thought it was my turn to post... as a way to seek some advice/answers and I guess to vent a little.

I'm about 5 weeks into my relationship with my BPD gf. That's the 'official' period - we met some 7-8 months ago and it gradually grew into a close friendship before we realised we were kidding ourselves that ...

I'm just curious as to how others feel. I have been married to NPD/HPD for 20 years. Throughout the marriage I tried to explain to my wife how I felt so used by her, that I get nothing in return.
I'm to the point of exhaustion now. I don't know if I have the energy to move on in a different direction. For one, she has ruined my credit.
In my loneliness, I allowed myself ...

Help! My mom has HPD, diagnosed by me - I am not a professional, I'm just trying to figure out her psychotic behavior and give it a name - her symptoms are text book! Having said all that, once again as a holiday nears, she gets all weird and this time it's Mother's Day - worst day of the year!

Short backstory - she didn't raise me, my grandparents did and when they died she ...

Hi Everyone,

I was recently "dumped" by a possible HPD friend. My previous posts in HPD and Significant Others Forums tell the story if you're not familiar with it.
I also think that I have some AvPD traits too. Anyway I've been doing pretty well "getting over" the
pain of that whole ordeal. However one of my stumbling blocks that trips me up pretty often is a feeling of anxiety, jealousy, etc. when another guy ...

My husband was diagnosed with bipolar ii, about 4 years ago. He's on several meds, and while he's actually TONS better (from constant outbursts of anger/rage, to belittling me and the kids), he's still having episodes. He will find a woman at work to befriend, and develops a crush on her. He's done this all of our 20 years of marriage. I know he's never cheated, so that's not the issue. He says he's done ...

I've recently come into contact with a very special woman and am wondering whether she falls into some clinical category (asperger, mania, what-not), and how her personality should be characterized in general. She has the following characteristics:

* She is very much into sex and have had a huge number of partners.

* However, sometimes she doesn't have sex at all.

* Generally, she is an either/or-personality. Either she trains all the time, or not ...
