When you can not understand what the hell the crisis was the other day that caused you to feel suicidal and smash your head into the wall because you can not imagine feeling that way again because you do not even remotely feel that way now. You actually feel like you do not have any mental health issues.

I hope it's okay that I dug up this old thread. I always thought it helpful because it allows us to share and see how we are familiar and not so isolated or alone......

You know you are Borderline when you feel like running away from a friendship because you know deep inside that it's just going to end in failure and abandonment anyway....

when you feel empty and bored even when there is tons of stuff to do, even when you are engaged in a conversation with somebody, you still feel alone.

This has been me this week.. So hollow and listless. Yet I have been more sociable this week than I have in a while. (Now I am feeling intensely guilty for having such self-consuming thoughts)

I feel invisible, and if not invisible, tolerated. When I leave the room, I think they roll their eyes and shrug their shoulders.

Now I feel so guilty for such self indulgent thinking! This sucks big ones.

When you unexpectantly make a new friend and feel both pleased and totally wary "what does he want....he's trying to deceive/hurt me" at the same time.

when you take on the emotions of all those around you and life is best described as a roller coaster of moods.

when you are everybody and everything at one time or another

When you know you have people who care about you and have gathered around you a number of friends, something you've never really had before, but you still feel so completely alone most of the time.

When you allow others to rule your life, make you feel endlessly guilty about everything, and you feel like a bother and pain to everyone even though they tell to countless times you're not.

I'm working it, I am, but it's really hard.

When your friends say, "No matter what time of day or night, call me" and, "No, you're not too much, just call, I'll be there no-matter-what!!!" Then a few months later, they tell you you're too much and dump you.

You constantly bite your tongue and say nothing for fear of hurting someones feelings for months, and the instant you do say something, you do the thing you feared all along and know for certain that it's the end and that the damage will never be repaired.

When something really good is happening in your life, you can't cherish and enjoy it because your mind is busy trying to convince you it's something other than good and all you want to do is run away from it all.
