My son has BPD. He is terrified of not being in a relationship. He would rather be with his gf who is completely mean to him than to be alone. Do other ppl feel like this?

Does he maybe have borderline personality disorder? Sounds more like this than bipolar.

Maybe you should try the Personality Place forum for BPD

A lot of us have more than one DX. It is possible to have bipolar (BP) and borderline personality disorder (BPD).

My son has same likely bp & bpd. But he's on the other end. Won't settle down with one girl. After a few days they drive him nuts and he tells them he's not trying to have a gf. Too overwhelming for him. Mass abandonment history & I think he just can't be with anyone on that level yet. My boys 18 today, they will figure it out in their own way, only so much we can do. Therapy is good if he's willing to go talk to someone.
I should add that he does not like it when I or his older sister leave the house for work & I often get yelled at for leaving him alone. . He was a nice boy today though.

Yes I have bpd and I will stay with someone bad to keep from being alone. Is he in therapy and how old is he? I was much worse this way in my teenage years and my parents did nothing about it., they allowed me to bring numerous boys into my room. I think you should try talking to your son.

I have and still do put up with a lot of things that I wouldnt if it wasnt for the fear of being alone, never finding someone who wont judge me and just plain low self esteem.
On the outside I can come across as this hard *** dont take no **** from no one type. Truth is I take tons of **** from the people Im in a relationship with. Cross me as a friend and I will hold a grudge and not talk to you for months or years but not when it comes to partners.  Dysfunction is also all I know so having an unhealthy relationship is "normal" in my world. It feels better for me to have someone even if they mistreat me. The glimpses of "comfort" and the physical stuff pacifies me enough. I can totally relate to your son I think that knowing your self worth and feeling secure "alone" is a big component to this. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
