Could boarderline personality disorder cause me to make such bad decisions though I know long time pain will be the result? |

Hello enabler1968, welcome to Psych Central.
Without knowing more about you, it's hard to say. Everyone makes bad decisions whether they have a mental health issue or not. We can't diagnose here anyway but you might like to check out these online tests which can give you a better idea of what is going on. Psychological Tests and Quizzes and The Sanity Score - Test Your Mental Wellness then you can print out the results and share it with your doctor.

BPD is such a hard diagnosis to pin down, i think. it can be a bad day, a bad habit, or a bad life that brings out those symptoms,,, or it can be a brain chemistry disorder.... and the people who have it seem to be the last to notice ~
here is the link to the Quiz mentioned by Peg, it's more of a check-list, really. take a look if you have time, and see if you recognize yourself~ best wishes~ http://psychcentral.com/lib/symptoms...sorder/0001063

have been diagnosed with BPD, and one of the main symptoms (from what a therapist told me) is impulsiveness. more often it is the impulsive decisions rather than plain old bad decisions that have the detrimental effect on our lives.
by impulsive, I do really mean doing things on impulse with out even realizing it in some cases, like dating that woman who abuses you simply because you are lonely, and she is available.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
