Re: I think I have BPD (reply) I don't know if it's something you want to tell your doctor about or not, but your behavior as a child raises several red flags. Most people masturbate at some time or another, some more than others. In children it's common. However, in children, there ... |

Re: Non BPD in need of some advice with someone with BPD (reply) Good point. Not only would it technically be using her BPD as an excuse to avoid confrontation, it also doesn't put her in a position of addressing her interactions with others. If she gets pissy because of something you said she'll likely calm down and ... |

Re: Crazy Lady (reply) Paul's experience is more or less the same as my experience at every job I've had. I'm always happy and having fun and loving my job and then WHAM! Supervisor or a caring coworker who thinks I ought to know what everybody is saying to everybody BUT me ... |

Re: Non BPD in need of some advice with someone with BPD (reply) "i feel like i have to watch what i say or else..." Or else what? Does it matter that much if you say the wrong thing and set her off? I mean, sure that wouldn't be good...but if you don't intentionally do it, then you shouldn't worry about it. Feeling ... |

Re: Crazy Lady (reply) I'm lucky as i have no co-workers to worry about. I do understand the stress of having to get along with people at work though, and i do understand how it can make any job seem much much harder. My first real job when i was 18 was at a high-tech factory ... |

Re: I think I have BPD (reply) Sounds like you have BPD......but it's important not to get too caught up in being diagnosed. See a professional, but understand they're just a person like anyone else, and can't see inside your head. There are really good pdocs and really bad pdocs and ... |

Re: New here. BPD, depression, and obsessive "love" (reply) Paul summed it all up beautifully. There is a healthy way to carry on a relationship, and the key is to learn what that way is. The key is learning to discern reality from the idealized image we can conjure up in our heads about somebody and then ... |

Re: New here. BPD, depression, and obsessive "love" (reply) "how can i change so i don't do this with someone else in the future?" I'm more or less always on the look out for/from similar behaviour myself. And the thing that gives me a bit of confidence that i can change, despite having been through what you are ... |

Re: Non BPD in need of some advice with someone with BPD (reply) Once she's upset continuing to break down and analyze her feelings may just irritate her. She might feel psychoanalyzed and therefore become more defensive. So yeah, waiting a day or two and then talking about it might be more successful. |

Re: Non BPD in need of some advice with someone with BPD (reply) This is almost all new to me, after knowing her for over 14 years, I feel like I have to watch what I say because I don't want to say the wrong thing that might set something off in her. I used to talk to her about anything and everything and now I am ... |

Re: How do people with BPD feel/think/act (reply) I think Paul pretty much summed it up. We over-analyze things, go off on unrelated tangents, and then often manage to tie them together after we've worked ourselves into a frenzy, thus making you the root cause of the upset in the first place. BPD isn ... |

Re: Non BPD in need of some advice with someone with BPD (reply) Small things that one should shrug off can become an emotional crisis for somebody with BPD. Paul's correct, you should talk to her after she's had time to cool down. |

Re: Crazy Lady (reply) I find it immensely difficult to hold down a job for more than 6 months. My job history is just a patchwork of 6 months here, 2 years there, a couple weeks there, etc. My problem is relating to my coworkers. Often it's nothing I've actually done, or ... |

Re: I think I have BPD (reply) Call around the mental health professionals in your area and ask them what they know about BPD and if they can actually treat it. A lot of people like to think they're up to the task but really aren't. We're notoriously resistant to medication because ... |

Re: New here. BPD, depression, and obsessive "love" (reply) It's kind of a process. I used to flip between idealization and devaluation frequently. I still do, but it's not over romantic or potentially romantic relationships anymore. I've been in the position and put an ex-boyfriend through hell before I ... |

Re: love him, but he drives me to the ground (reply) Arguing with me when I get into that mode is pretty pointless, because by damn I'm right and it's not up for debate :P Any "tough love" approach to many BPDs, myself included, generally results in feelings of failure, inadequacy, etc. It's best to just ... |

Re: How do people with BPD feel/think/act (reply) A narrative: "interesting question i wonder why he wants to know. he must be doing a school paper or something or maybe he wants to better understand some girl he likes....why am i assuming they're male? Duh, he types like one...i'd lay money that the ... |

Re: Non BPD in need of some advice with someone with BPD (reply) "...over something small..." My advice would be to talk to her about these small things (after they happen, outside the heat of the moment) since they probably aren't that small to her. |
