Hey...I am sorry I missed your post. I do remember reading about it as I recall I think in Walking on Egsshells...which is ironic because before I ever knew of BPD I used to tell her I was always "walking on eggshells". The book spoke volumes to me about the behavior traits for sure...and it compared and contrasted Borderline, Paranoid, Narcissitic and others....That's where I got it...I guess "delusion" was a poor choice of words. But the end result was something similar...I don't have my book with me...but wiki says some thing like
- preoccupation with unsubstantiated "conspiratorial" explanations of events both immediate to the patient and in the world at large.
And she was primarly suspicious of me, and those close to her...not just people in general...at least until she got to know them. Those that she feared abandonment from. So that fell in with that too. Anyway, it is a moot point now because what is done is done, and I am moving on. I have a really nice girlfriend now that is super sweet to me, not jealous whatsoever and I adore.
IF anyone has any questions for me though and my experiences and if it may help you, please feel free to ask me.
