The most common one is that my boyfriend is cheating on me with a particular friend of his. Every so often I'll question him about it and he'll tell me that he's absolutely not cheating on me, he's a pretty trustworthy guy. But its like it doesn't even matter to me in those moments. I have violent thoughts (which I would not act on), I become incredibly upset and anxious because I'm convinced of this belief. Is this delusional behavior? Like I said nothing can shake this off and I'm scared of acting this way again.

Going to back to the OP above....
PinkButterflies, I don’t think every single emotion you experience is due to BDP. At times your intuition might be trying to tell you something and in this case and you will need to learn to distinguish the two. Is it your intuition or your personality disorder?
I tend to get jealous in relationships as well and if I cannot back it up with a sensible reasoning, I realize that my fear of abandonment is driving my emotions.
In this case, why do you think that your bf might be cheating on you with this other chick? Has she ever done or said anything to indicate that? Is she nice to you? How often do they spend time together?
