Hello,
Doe anyone find the that since they've been given the BPD diagnosis that everyone's expects them to have every trait? I suppose the question goes to how people's wives/husbands/partners views them? My wife seem to think I'm suddenly going to become a promiscuous cheater and I don't know what to do.
oh i just love it. The constant questioning of everything! The obsession over a sentense someone said to you a week ago, thinking of hidden meanings, feeling like a lost child when someone you don't want to leave, actually leaves. Along side bipolar it's just an upsidedown rollercater. As if life isn't hard enough.

Oh i love that trait, its like whatever is written about bpd defines us, ya know? like we suddenly would have no morals. BPD is one of the worst mh issues to have. My psych said she hates diagnosing anyone with it because of all the negativity, same goes with bipolar.
try explaining that to her. Just cuz youre bpd doesn't mean you dont have morals or that you are not loyal to her!

Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60's. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted.
I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside. I tried groups, didn't work out just made my depression a lot worse.
hi all I've been diagnosed with 'traits' and I'm having a bit of trouble atm. Not sure if my reactions are OTT or if I'm justified in feeling hurt...f*(|< this is a horrible feeling, not being able to trust myself or my reactions..it feels like noone understands

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to PM me about borderline personality disorder. I will hopefully soon be going to receive treatment and talk about the possibility of having this disorder, as I seem to show many of the symptoms. I'm interested in what others can tell me about it and answer some of my questions if possible... thank you.

I see that. the Angry heart is the best book that I know of...
So It's in the form of a workbook... with writing/journalling exercises..
Thanks!
Hi all,
I recently had an assessment and was told I most likely have BPD.
After doing much reading on it, I feel like some things i can relate to but others
i cant. I understand you dont have to have all symptoms for diagnosis but still.
The symptom im most unsure about is fear of abandonment. I do not fear abandonment, quite the opposite really.
Also, I do not display anger or temper. I keep my emotions to myself in order to not hurt anyone.
Could they have go it wrong?
You have to do everything you can. You have to work your hardest. And if you do, if you stay positive, then you have a shot at a silver lining

There is a 'type' of BPD sometimes called quiet BPD or acting in BPD where the person doesn't get angry or kick off but instead holds everything inside and takes things out on themselves. I too fall into this category and have often questioned whether I actually have BPD because everyone else I have met with the illness gets very angry.
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
Im finding it really hard. I want to know what it specifically means for me. I dont see the doctor that diagnosed me again. I dont know who to ask. Its making me feel numb.
How do i know what things are a result of bpd? Or on what basis the diagnosis was made.

The doctor who diagnosed you is likely to have written a report which your GP may have or someone else in your treatment team. You could ask to see it.
