Welcome to the Borderline Personality Disorder

Hi - how do I get in to the weekly Borderline Personality meetings??

If you talk to your doctor and make the mistake of saying "here's my pathetic life so far" they will look at you and say, well, I think you may have BPD. I had always thought that but still don't know enough about it other than all my issues line up perfectly with the discription of symptoms of BPD.

]April 9th, 2014 3:41pm I came here today because I was diagnosis with BPD 40years ago!!!! And I Thought that if this is a group of people that are diagnose like me, maybe I be around people who mighty understand me, since other people don't!!!!
I have about 6 friends and only 3 keep in touch with me! The other 3 every so often!
Family, I seem to be a mental problem to them, and because I am 66yrs. old they might say something I did not like, and say something to them, and I get mom, that is not want I or we said, and of course it was and I would get back mom, you know you can't remember anything!!!!! Well, when is hurtful or a lie, I can not seem to forget it!!!! BECAUSE ONE THINK I CAN NOT STAND IS LYING!!!! Especially if you are lying on or about me!!!!!
It is mostly my oldest daughter[47yrs.old], but my other children tell me just forget it mom!!!!! I am 66yrs. old and have been lied on or about, or called a liar since I was a teenager!!!! People, family, friends just do not understand why it bothers me so, and I sometimes think they really do not care about me, or they would understand!!!!
I do not lie on/about anyone, so why do it to me!!!!!
As far as my older daughter, all her life she would say "I am just like my daddy and proud of it" and her dad was such a liar even to this day when it is about me! The children want me to talk to their dad[ since I use to claim I was a Christian]which I do not claim that anymore!!!!! but he since the last time I tried to talk to him, all he did was talk lies, and never told the truth nor said he was sorry for those lies!!!! he kept going on and on, so I stuck the phone under a pillow let him talk to himself!!! I would check to see if he was still talking and he was so under the pillow the phone went until when I FINALLY CHECKED AND he WAS GONE!!!! that was 2008!!!
So since I had signed up to this site, months ago I figured maybe I should try to find friends that understood !!!! I go by Polar 2[Eya-Andrea] but polar 2 is ok !

MAY 4TH, 2014 10:42PM Hello Trying2Survive!!!!
I am in the say boat as you are! I have been here I think once before, but I could never find my way back here!!!! It is so frustrating when you do not know or remember how to get around on these forums! Well to your post I can not answer from a psychological prospective, only the good people in charge maybe able to answer that question! But I do believe in GOD'S HOLY WORD and according to THAT there is an enemy out there who hates GOD and all mankind and he is behind all the evil, madness, cruelity that man is going thur!!! But soon and very soon his time is going to come to an end of his wickness Toward GOD CREATION!!!! Until then we need to get help from the ones who understand the different physical sickness, emotional problems so many of us are going through!!!!
It is so good to have this place, because you can talk to people like ourselves who may be going through the same thing or maybe close to it and you can get compassion, because others here know what it feels like to some extent! I hope and PRAY you find the help and friends that can surround you and embrace you so you know you are not allow anymore!!! There are so many cruel people out there and they just do not take the time to listen! nor offer help! So again I am glad you found your way here !!!! I hope I can find my way back here again myself! I PRAY You have a good night if it is night for you! It is night here!

Hello! I am new here and BPD. I am a calm person on the outside, but inside is a different story. It comes out when provoked or when one of my kids are messed with. I finally came here after spouting off another angry email to my child's school counselor for something. I always feel that I or my children are being wronged. I wish I could be peaceful inside!

Well I'm new and I have bpd and lot of other disorders looking forward to making friends with same issues

hello to you all! I'm new here, and in this type of forum. In my teens, a psychiatrist diagnosed me with mild bipolar affective disorder 2 and depression. The family doctor now considers my personality traits as bpd, hence I am here.
My view on my situation is that I have feelings of exclusion from groups, I experience verbal abuse and take offence from it (i.e "you're stupid") and I remain still on how to react, I know little of what my behaviour should be in social gatherings and lack social skills, I have a fear of abandonment and divorced parents with dad absent in childhood, I have low self esteem and low problem solving and task optimization skills, I have 1 year of being single after an intense relationship and creating a new relation seems very difficult to me, and I have 1 year and a half of loosing a person I held very dear.
All of this bring me unhappiness and I find it hard to go by with them. I am medication free - always have been; smoking is my way of coping and integrating in groups.
I am here to find insight on the cause of my distress, acceptance, and new perspectives on how to deal with it by sharing life situations with people that go through similar things. I'd very much like to ask your opinion about situations I find hard to cope with, and I'd gladly give mine if anyone requires it, if that is acceptable to this forum.
I wish you all to have a great week and a good night sleep!

When are chat meetings and what are they like? I've done online 12 step meetings, is it sort of structured like that?

Hello to each of you.

I was diagnosed BPD/PPD earlier this year, after a long struggle to obtain an answer. I am considered high functioning, but most days I really do not feel like it. I think I mask myself well for a while and then get kinda worn out and eventually slip.

I would like somewhere to go to share those times when I do slip, and to help others when they are falling also. So, here I am!

Hi peoples. I think I have this disorder. Just realized it last night in my Lifespan Development class. Trying to wrap my head around it. Just thought I was "bad at relationships"

Hi,
Tomorrow is a forum on bpd. Check it out. Last year I started researching my own symptoms of this thing and one of the major things IS fear of abandonment, not sure why in my case, as I had a normal childhood, a very secure one; but it could have developed later. In your case, perhaps the divorce caused your insecurity. I don't know if you are in T for this, but that may help you sort out the social anxieties and causes. I've found self acceptance is important whatever one may think of how others see us. Self esteem can be built through skills and self understanding, I think so anyway.
Best to you,
"help.............."

HI. I am new...needless to say...I didn't follow the rules...and posted I don't know where. So I know that my post won't show until a human reads it...but how will I know when and where it posts? lol

Hello everyone, as you can tell I am new to this forum. I am a 42 year old male, divorced with 4 kids, and diagnosed with BPD last December. I am looking for information and the most appropriate treatment. Trying to put my family and life back together. Thanks in advance for any help.

This post was from 2009. Are these chats ongoing? Same time/same place?
TIA

Me too on the relationship part. I just discovered this yesterday and can't pull myself away from reading up on it. Seeing the doc Friday and I have a few suggestions for him....
