I am suffering exactly the same what is described in this thread above, reading this thread explains everything which I am facing each day. I don't know where to start and how to fix it but guide me how to help my self. I don't want to have a personality like this, it ruined two of my major relationships. My family is responsible for causing me this much suffering and yet I am too weak to leave them. |

Hello active: I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time.
![]() ![]() I recall reading the book Lost in the Mirror years ago. This is a book about BPD. It sounded SO much like me when I was young... not so much anymore. ![]() ![]()

If you already been through this in your early age means it's a phase more than a sickness. I will definitely read this book and I am sure it will explain everything, seek out for professionals later.
What I figured out myself, I have histrionic personality disorder but it affected me more when I isolated my self. since yesterday I am controlling it and I am feeling well, although it's hard to control it. Since yesterday I am doing things not to show others but what is right, I haven't succeeded much but I am sure ill get to it, once I have more explanation to give to myself. Meanwhile if you have anything please feel free to suggest! Blessing to us All! |

First of all, seek psychiatric help if you haven't done so already. There are a lot of ways to approach this including seeing your family doctor for a referral.
As for helping yourself, DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is a great form of therapy specific to personality disorders which you can do yourself. There are a wealth of resourceful books out there. Try to stick to workbooks, doing the worksheets over a period of time (it doesn't do you any favours to go through them in several sittings). Also, actually do the work and do so repetitively. Most DBT programs are designed around a 3 month period. |
