Hi, just wondering if anyone but particularly those with Borderline Personality Disorder have increased BPD symptoms when they are physically unwell with something such as a throat infection? My family say I am a nightmare during these but I dont really recall only that I cry alot. But I lost a personal gage for what's 'normal' a long time ago as I can think my behaviour is ok then everyone else says it's not.

Hello Eeeeeeyore: I've never been diagnosed as having BPD (although I have thought there was a time, when I was young, I might have been.) So I'm not really one of the members you're looking for here on PC. However I noticed this is your first post. So... welcome to Psych Central.
 What I can say, with regard to your post, is that when I'm tired or not feeling well my own mental health struggles amplify quickly. And even though I know this is the case, that doesn't necessarily translate into me being able to short circuit the effects. So as for your family saying you become a nightmare when you're unwell, sometimes I think family members can be somewhat... shall we say... oversensitive?  But certainly it seems reasonable to me to think you probably have a more difficult time controlling your BPD symptoms when you feel unwell.  Here are links to 5 articles, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of BPD: Borderline Personality Disorder: Symptoms & Treatments Living with Borderline Personality Disorder 6 Gifts of Borderline Personality Disorder 7 Gifts of Borderline Personality Disorder | The Exhausted Woman Dialectical Behavior Therapy in the Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

Wow I'm as dull and unnoticed on here as in real life. The stars are telling me something.
