The description fits me to a T. I've been diagnosed with depression, but I've suspected there was something more going on- my moods and reactions to things can be so extreme.

Hi I'm 32 was diagnosed with BPD when I was 23 had not a clue until this morning what that ment. I could have wrote down my life and would have read word for word as there symptoms. At least now I know I'm not alone.

I'm new to my diagnoses. The awareness is changing my attitude.

apparently having BPD as a man is rare...I sincerely hope this isn't true. Because that just makes me feel...well, special. in a bad way

Okay, so I identify with pretty much all the symptoms except the "Changing life plans at the drop of a hat" part. Like I don't do that. I freak out if I feel like I'm not progressing toward anything so I usually try to stick to goals whether they are rational or not.
Also, a popular thing I hear from people when I suggest I might be borderline is "That would mean you have no empathy" what's the deal with that? Nowhere is that mentioned in the symptoms, but everyone seems to think that if you have empathy you can't be borderline. |

I was recently diagnosed and this fits me to a T. I have bipolar also, so I have a hard time telling whether I'm having a mood episode or my BPD is flaring up as I like to call it. My family used to walk around on egg-shells around me because I would fly off the handle over any little thing, I'm better at controlling my emotions a little bit now though.

Hi, I would like to know, if someone also gets difficulties on reading, or concentrating in daily simples tasks as well. I also started having troubles with remembering some simple words, and I don't know if it's due to Topiramato a medication I took a while ago, or if it's an actual symptom of the BPD. Thanks.

this is me, exactly...
right now i especially identify with the "sacrificing yourself at the moment and then suddenly reaching your limit and blowing up" part. where do we go from here? how is it possible to have a healthy relationship? |

The person I love doesn't even want to admit he has in issue. He just thinks he is devil and mean by definition and I have tried to tell him is not and underneath there are wounds and he should ask for help but he doesn't want to try getting out of this vicious circle...... of being iratinally angry and than sorry and crying out of how a horrible person he is.... He really doesn't want help at all but his symptoms got horrible lately. I know he doesn't want to hurt me, I am aware and all his violence doesn't touch me in the sense that I know that is not about me and he is in crisis. But if he doesn't even want to try to get out of there, to ask for help what can I do? I can not live like this....

Yes, I recently discovered the label and now my whole life makes more sense. Sadly I discovered why I was acting like this because I was searching for an answer for my sister who I believe is falsely accusing an ex of sexual abuse when it did not happen but she feels like it did because he cheated and remarried and cut her out of his life and the pain is so great. I want to help her but she is getting the courts involved and I am worried she might pull off a crime. My heart goes out to her but I am not sure what to do. Some days I want to go to the defense and tell them I know she is BPD and falsely accusing and other days I want to comfort her and help her unravel this madness. Now that I realize her instability I am worried what she might do to me, now that I know it is a lie. It is so very sad and isolating. Feeling so alone as I tried to tell my mother but she cannot face the fact her daughter may be lying. My husband and therapist say, stay out of it for my own safety but that feels wrong, no one else knows how horrible PBD is
 Any thoughts? Thank you so much!
