What somatic symptoms have people experienced?

Since becoming aware and starting to unrepress myself sexually, i keep getting all these big and small lumps in my breasts. I also had this meditation session where i was addressed childhood trauma then i felt this intense sensation in my groin area. When i stood up, I was bleeding and i bled for 2 weeks straight even though i was on the pill and had already had my ...

"HPDIs tend to believe relationships are more intimate than they really are."

I'm not sure I understand this correctly. To me it seems to say that HPDIs are more beautiful - albeit less realistic - dreamers than their partner. Would anyone clarify for me?

Hey,

When my boyfriend say something that i feel makes me invalidated, i do this thing which i called a blow out which can be identified as me 1. losing control of my behaviour and feelings 2. extreme feelings 3. urge to self harm or suicide 4. tell boyfriend i am feeling suicidal or want to self harm 5. suggest to boyfriend that the bottle shop man is better than him 6. body vibrations on ...

Is it possible to leverage a person's HPD traits for stimulating them to learn about their problem, proceeding as is necessary to get better and to end up building a beautiful life?

If so, what could be done and how would that help? What are the risks and/or chances of regression?

The only risk that would pop up to my mind is if not doing it with sufficient ingenuity, they could find out. As a ...

My wife and I have been married for 23 years. Just recently I found out she was HPD.

I met my wife at my best friends wedding 25 years ago. She was 19 and I was 27. I was the best man and her brother stood up with me. My best friend lived in San Antonio Texas at the time and I lived in Michigan so I flew out there to be in the wedding. ...

I have a question for people with HPD: what were your significant others like? Especially the non's. Did they ever yell, get frustrated? Were you ever the rational one, trying to calm them down? Did they ever hurt you, and if so, how?

Hey --

I was wondering if anyone has experienced a friend or partner with histrionic traits/tendencies who exaggerate. For example, I was parallel parking the other day, and I accidentally, very gently, bumped the car behind me. But then my friend retells the story and says I was "crashing into cars!" Or he tells me his boss threw a pencil at him but when I said, "What? You should tell someone? That's not OK," he ...

Hello.

First of all I lie all the time. I have been lying all my life since my childhood. I lie to my self and to others. It varies from where I'm from, who I am, who my parents are, who I am, what I like, what I do etc. I don't know who I am and who the F is inside of me. Feels like I have an never ending drama play inside of ...

I'm looking for some advice from someone who has HPD (and as has been suggested to me, I'll also look for advice on the SOF&F forum). I know this forum well and appreciate how taboo this topic is, but my goal is to enter into a relationship with someone in my life who has HPD. We're both older (early 40's). I've known her for over a decade. I don't know what she was like before ...

Hi everybody. I've been reading these forums for years but never actually posted. I'm 31-year-old gay male. Back when I was 22, I went through a horrible relationship/break-up with a guy who cheated and abused drugs. His drug counselor told me he showed signs of Borderline Personality, but regardless, he was one of the truly off-balanced and cruel people I've ever met.

After him, I dated a guy who was a Narcissist. No doubt. At ...
