The Concept of me having BPD is new (ok, so diagnosed BP 5 years ago, felt this was more accurate but just now accepting it) I fit in exactly with many of the descriptions but had questions about whats "normal" with this but only 3 i can think of right off. I Realize that there is no canned answers but i guess I'm looking for support most in these 3 areas and suggestions on how to cope. (and to know that im not compleatly abnormal)

1.) When having an upset episode ect do you Know what your doing is foolish but just not know how/want to stop it? (also uncontrolable lying?)

2.) do you ever purposely take things wrong/work up a hurtful situation just so you have a reason to be hurt/crying?

3.) The mood swings, I go from blasting my boyfriend bawling my eyes out to cuddly silly happy in mere minets (happens with other people to not just him)- is this severity normal?

What does DBT mean? I've seen that around here a few times....
