You know you're borderline when you're you're sure the traffic lights are conspiring to turn red because they know you're running late.

When your friend leaves and you immediately become depressed and hide out in your sisters room in bed like a piece of you has left

When you discuss things with your boyfriend about things you did that were bad 4 years ago and your the one hurting all night rather than him because normal people don't hold on to emotions like bpd : (

When you have to abruptly leave a social situation because the stress has put too much pressure on your usual 'social face' and you're about to have an identity meltdown in public.

When you work as a solicitor basically and someone gets rude, so you automatically think its you're fault and get upset because they were mad even though you know it's just because you have an irritating job

You can't seem to do anything you love in moderation.

For me, I was doing art, for awhile obsessively and I couldn't stop it. Then as always I fizzled out. Now it's gaming...

Of course the worst part is, and another thing that is part of being BPD is that I'm beating myself up a lot for not continuing to obsessively create art. :/

My interests can also come and go with the wind and I can get quite obsessive as well. What I do to try to moderate myself is I set aside a little bit of time each day to continue to do whatever it is I'm neglecting. My interest in my writing, for example. Regardless of my current feelings surrounding it, I attempt to do a little bit each day. I'm always thinking of the other things as I'm doing it on those days, of course, but I feel a small sense of accomplishment knowing I did something.

You write your thoughts down, presumably for therapeutic reasons, and then you read it over and over and over and over and over and over.... staying in the angry feelings.

When you know you have a budget but all you can think about is going on a shopping spree.

When a short reply always means that the person has figured you out and now resents you. Even if you were expecting a short reply. And when one person resents you, it follows logically that everyone else does too.

You still feel that you can never reach second base in a friendship or even have one. You are only surviving and relating to people only when absolutely necessary. You still have no priviledge to someone's personal space (email, home, phone, text, etc.) and even when you do get that priviledge, you are sure you are going to lose it again.

I think I too lost a friend. IRL. After I worked very hard to get it back. BPD is so baffling.
