Where are all of you with bpd. Are you in the personality pages. I was there too but decided to start with a specific thread. I have dual diagnosis and spend time with the bipolar forum too. Can't work, so i'm a recluse can't seem to get out of the house without anxiety. Seems like agoraphobia to me. I'm scared my car will break down or just not having anywhere to go. My husband cares for me but i'm sure he is very tired of it. Wish I could get disability (haven't paid enough in) so I would not have to worry about money so much. Everyone come back and talk to me. Lets get some threads going for bpd. Maybe we can help each other.

Thank you French Empress, Europe sounds great. Here our disability system is a joke. YOu have to pay in all your life to get something back out, but if you have been to disabled to work your screwed. My husband takes care of me but is resentful of me. I also have a teenage son to care for. If I didn't have my husband i would be living on the street and that is so scary. People look at me and say its all self esteem pick yourself up by the boot straps but I know I've been on a roller coaster since my teens. If you look a certain way no one believes you could be sick. I'm on a med combo that seems to really help. Leaves me feeling emotionless sometimes. My health insurance ( through my husband) is very bad but does pay some for my meds. I spend about $100 a month on meds. Which really adds up. Sorry to ramble on so but i'm glad someone wrote me back. Thanks

hi niecy, hope you ok and settle on this thread too. I read your threads and I'm glad you have started somewhere here without giving up trying to find the right thread. I've noticed many people who are on disability and had struggled with insurance especially in America. I hate to say that people who live in U.K (I live in U.K too) are taking for granted by using free medications, only to fit the criterias as benefits system are too complicated here anyway. I felt for you and others over there too.

Hello neicy, I've been with PC for a few years and I see they have recently added sub forums yeppy!

I have been dx with bpd a month ago it takes a bit to understand but I have several criterias! Ugh! You can also check another site which is primarilly for bpd it's through this main page ( borderlinepersonalitydisorder.ca ) it's based in Canada managed by AJ Mahari. It's similar to PC but it's rather small, it seems to be growing. Personally, I like it here and only occasionally visit the other site.

I see mlp has connected with you and others I'm glad of that she is very bright and knowledgeble (: . I occasionally join the chats. I would like to do it more but I attend group 5 days aweek and get home too late to join in.

Is there something you would like to know or share? There are bpd people here and if you need friend I'm here. I hope all is well, till next time cya! JG+

Dear Niecy,

Holmes again! There is a DBT Chat, DBT= Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, are skills created for people with BPD, IMO they are excellent life skills also! The DBT Chat is hosted by a wonderful Therapist, Rapunzel, on Thursday mornings @ 10:30AM (est). Rapunzel teaches the DBT skills & helps BP apply the skills to their daily lives. She's excellent.

There is a thing at the bottom of each screen here that says:

All times are GMT -4.

So that tells you what time Psych Central is on, compared to your time wherever you are. (PC is on Eastern Daylight Time now.)

Hello Nicey

I am a struggling BPD'er as of late. Haven't been on much. May delete account.

Take Care.

hi neicy440, I'm looking at a new dx for bpd and I was dx for bipolar August 08. I really identify with your comment about agoraphobia.
There have been times I wanted to go outside and I was just too bummed to get off the couch. To bummed to take a shower and get cleaned up. Sometimes, especially when I swing to a sad depressed mood, I really have problems being around people. I think I was aware of when I watched too much tv when I stopped watching episodes and started watching whole seasons of episodes. I'm not saying voices in my head stuff, they're all after me. Truth is I know most people are occupied with their own lives. They couldn't care less one way or another that I'm around and thats OK. I'm saying it feels like I have a small rain cloud above me I feel like others can see it, I'm embarrassed. Or sometimes I'm afraid I might run into a social situation that is challenging for me to handle appropriately. So today I'm at bit bummed but I'm at a coffee shop, the quiet din of the conversation is nice. Its OK the just sit here and be anonymous. Another thing I do is if I'm scared to go outside I'll ride my bike around. The act of being in motion, the soothing sound of the wheels rotating on the pavement, the rhythm and cadence of the pedal cranks is nice. Hoping my thoughts are positive for you with the agora issues you mentioned. Just trying to share honestly, thanks for your post here.
