I'm noticing that a lot of Borderlines have other mental illnesses on top of the Borderline. Me - I'm Bipolar.
Do you have another illness on top of your Borderline? What illness? Why do you think it is so common for us to have multiple problems?

Borderline & Bipolar I... and its been hard. A lot of my caregivers have thought that I had to be one or the other, but since they're on seperate axises, you can have both.

Hi Martina,
I am Borderline with schizoeffective, traits of NPD, have had depression and had problems with drugs and alcohol. Not unusual when you think of the complexities of Borderline.

Anorexia, Bulimia, OCD, ADHD, Possible Dependant Personality Disorder, Anxiety, I also have receptive language difficulties and severe and complex emotional needs. Have been a self harmer since age 7, and attempts of suicide since around age 9. Have difficulties with drinking and have since I was around 13. Past of abuse of medications / overdosing dozens of times, all failed, as you can see, however, I think more to do with poor impulse control and "spur of the moment" type of thing. I regretted it after I did it. However, I felt disappointment when found out I did no damage and nothing happened. But being told my heart could stop shook me to the core... &I haven't overdosed since.
Multiple things have gone on in my life, and continue to, I struggle with a lot of things. I haven't a clue why we seem to have a lot of difficulties. But I do know, it gives insight, knowledge, and understanding. Though I sometimes don't even understand myself, let alone others! |

I have Bi-Polar in addition to Borderline. It's POSSIBLE I also have OCD and ADHD but I've never been diagnosed. It's so hard to tell sometimes when something is a function of the Borderline and what is something else entirely.

Much like a simple cold can turn into the flu and the flu into pneumonia one mental disorder can manifest into many...

I'm Bipolar 2, OCD, ADD, Avoidant, and Dependent. I was resistant to being diagnosed but after I read about them all I realized that they fit me to a T. I don't know why I ended up with all of them though. Guess that's why I'm in therapy.

Bipolar II & PTSD.
Feel so alone. Been on this computer thingy for 3 hours trying to find an online chat room. Didn't think it would be this hard. I guess different time zone must be playing a part. After midnight now. My hubby and littlies have been all tucked up and snug and warm for hours now. Yet, here I am, glued to this screen, freezing cold (its winter here), praying for something to connect with. First thing I've come across that makes sense, didn't want to know my mother's maiden name to be part of it, and felt like I connected. Thank you. I'm the only one I know (mainly because, I'm assuming, no-one else talks about it either) that has mental illness other than family (lucky us!). But I feel like I can't talk to any of my family or friends. I don't want to scare them. I scare myself. I'm tired. So very very tired. Good luck... |
