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.... |

 You are asking all the good questions my dear.......there are others who are probably struggling with the same issues.......but when you ask whether how you are feeling is within the "normal" range of BPD symptoms, the answer is yes.......absolutely. However, we could talk all day about how you deal with it.......have you got any specific situations, and how are you and your partner coping with this wild terrain? As for DBT, I will put a link so you can have a read on what it is.......DBT is a fairly new addition of therapy designed specifically for treating BPD.......although it is not limited to that. DBT stands for Dialectical behavioural therapy........Are you getting any help with what you are experiencing? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialect...havior_therapy The psychotherapy forum on this website can also be of value to you if you wish.......there are also other resources on here that you can have a read on(can anyone else jump in here, I do not know where they are located. Thanks!!)....... Take care and it is great to see you.......keep talking !!!  Michah

Thank you for your reply! I'm still finding it to be such a comfort that im not a screw up.... i just have kinks i need to work out.
I'm Still trying to find affordable therapy/Know which one to chose. But gaining knowledge has helped a little sofar and i'm eager to seek professional help. My main problem, is with my partner being hes the only one (beings ive distanced myself from family) whom I dont feel forced to keep myself in check and run to the nearest restroom for a meltdown. He takes my monster spells so roughly/personally and then it just ads to guilt later. Other than that I've been a loner and learned to live with myself...but i want improvment for myself. as for my #2 question...its almost like a emotional self-injury . I like to hurt myself emotionally.(moreso in the past then now but it still exist) |

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