Thank you for posting this. I haven't been able to find anything that was that easy to understand. Most descriptions I've read are filled with psychological jargon and I get lost in the point. It makes perfect sense now. I was just diagnosed with BPD and this description suits me.

That is a theory but not always true. I'd been relatively fine for years and then circumstances put me right back where I was as a teenager. I've met a number of people on here in similar situations. I think BPD can improve or get worse....it all depends on what life throws at you. If you have nothing dramatic happen, it will get better over time. If you get involved in a relationship, are afraid of being abandonded, or adverse things happen, it will come right back. Just depends.

Check out NAMI, and see if they have anything in your area.

This is a really good description, and easy to read...I don't know if I'm glad that there is something to describe how I feel, or freaked.

This is so enlightening thanks for posting ,I was offically diagnosed with BPD 7 months ago after being trated for Depression ,Anxiety ,OCD and few others in a period of 20 years but what I could never understand was why out of lots of other people with depression I always felt extra emotional, extra scared ect but I have spent my life trying to please everybody to the extent I actually feel other's pain /mood. I am in DBT therapy now learning new skills but if I feel so sad if I take a step back I want to give up, but I have to try for my kids and Husband ,I wish I could just wake up every day and feel ok I am not asking to feel over the moon just ok to get through the day .

is this the most scariest of mental illness. I'm scared of myself my thoughts, being alone and especially my impulsivness especially suicide attempts. They have been quite serious. Last attempt I was found unconcious by my Dad. I wished he'd never found me. I wished I could have, "Do not ressucitate" on my hospital file.

This is a somewhat good description of BPD. Discribes me to a T.
Although there are many negative traits attributed to this disorder I think that BPD is just the result of frustrated genius. cb |

I can't believe that after reading the symptoms that were posted how much everything fits me. I have just been recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, although I believe that I have had this for years and no one has diagnosed me with it until now, when I actually lost my kids, and everything is going south for me.

After reading the description of borderline that is in this thread,
I became very sad..... to think that I've had all of these borderline symptoms my whole lifetime. I've wasted a whole lifetime with my borderline behavior. And also the lives of the people I came in contact with. I am deeply ashamed. Had I not stumbled on this PsychCentral website, I might never have found any explanation at all for my worthlessness. I would most likely have spent what's left of my life blaming everyone else for my problems. I don't know if I am still young enough to make any worthwhile changes now that I can admit to my insanity. I wouldn't even know where to begin. |

I thought it was bipolar II. This is all me, no wonder my dr diagnosed me with this instead of bipolar....i'm not bipolar at all.

![]() Although I had been in therapy several times for depression and depression-with-anxiety, I didn't know about BPD until I was past 50 years of age. What a gift to receive! I am working with a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic psychotherapist and it is so helpful. You already have learned something about perceptions, and working with a therapist can help you feel better and help your relationships. You have a lot of insight, so you have a 'head start'. There is no need to feel ashamed of what you didn't know. We all act on what we know; it's all we can do. I hope you can feel enthusiastic about your future because it sounds to me like it is getting ready to change for the better!! ![]() |

I feel the same way. Embarrassed and like I have wasted my life. Over 50 myself. No marriage, no children. See myself as the old lady with cats. It is really painful to feel that I have lost my chance at succeeding at life.

I am terribly sad right now. I had my final appt with my Pdoc yesterday afternoon. He is retiring. The office gave me a copy if my records for my next Pdoc. I was dsm dx with major depression, severe anxiety and bpd. Nobody ever mentioned BPD. I have been reading up on it, and I am very shocked and saddened by it. I dont know what to make of it...I feel labeled and damaged. I am very sad.
I thought all of the horrible life experiences contributed to the symptoms of depression and anxiety. But I did not know I was walking around with a big sign on my forehead that announced to the world "BPD". I have been living in a bubble: a giant lie. To myself. I feel as if my efforts in life and who I thought I was (a survivor of circumstances. Someone dealt a really crappy hand in life). Not an eff'd up person ![]() I didnt realize I was born and presenting to the world labeled and broken. Is there hope? |
