Who else here has BPD, known as borderline personality disorder?

Wow I'm sorry you had someone attack you on a mental health post.

And honestly I've never been to a therapist even though it would be good for me but have you tried breathwork? There's tons of different things and kundalini yoga.

I would say anything that challenges you. I'm not a doctor but wish i had answers sorry.

I have Borderline Personality Disorder. It is one of my six mental illnesses. One of the best things I can recommend to you or anyone trying to learn about it is to read the book "I Hate You, Don't Leave Me". My psychiatrist recommended it when I first got diagnosed. Do you know which of the four types you have? It's common for some people to show two at once. I show all three fully and most of the fourth, except I don't really show manipulation tactics, my Psychiatrist and other people have noticed.

I can't say much about what I do, because my symptoms could be different and some of the symptoms are other disorders tied in. So it's a little harder to tell which symptoms are which disorders, especially when one symptom matches multiple.

The push and pull to escape real or perceived abandonment is definitely the thing I struggle the most with. Because it causes a lot of unstable relationships. Friends, significant other, family... So on and so forth.

The only treatments that are really effective for this is trauma therapy. BPD is trauma based. They can teach you coping skills for riding out the impulses, but that's never been effective for me. I'm still no good at resisting impulses and risky behaviours. But I'm trying.

If I can help at all, let me know!

I was diagnosed with it years ago, but I have grown tremendously and found healthy outlets for myself. I feel those are labels and the more we hear we are something, we start believing it. I don't feel I am bdp. Ive completely transformed myself by stopping alcohol, finding hobbies, exercising and communication! I hope you can find some peace as I feel your pain💛

Ps. My biggest help is exercise and gardening. I spend a lot of time alone now. I accept my thoughts as they are, thoughts. They're not true. I try to embrace the awkward and I love uplifting others and giving them encouragement. I reflect a lot and use breathing techniques.

I have had several partners who have the condition. Since having dated them, I have received awards and certificates for my studies on the topics of personality disorders, mental health conditions and learning disabilities, from various colleges.

Due to all of this, I have a profound understanding of the condition. Feel free to DM me if you would like some help, or just a chat.

I do not have BPD, but have loved ones that do. I have a mental illness as well (OCD and Depression).

What generally works is Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. Is your therapist doing that with you?

For me, despite not having BPD, I have found mindfulness helps for "negative" emotions.

I have BPD and DID.
I was diagnosed 2 years ago. Don't believe those who say that psychological illnesses are lies.

Yeah, I don't have an official diagnosis yet, but the facilitator at my court ordered anger management group a couple of years ago told me very specifically that she "wasn't qualified to diagnose BPD", meaning I definitely have it.

Unfortunately, I really have no clue what to do about it. I'm trying to get an official diagnosis from someone, but with Medicare, it's not easy.

My girlfriend Samantha does. I am bipolar 2 so sometimes we can clash on things. @Sassychick420

Not what i got but hope you find solutions to adjust to it.

I would guess you are not alone

I have it

There is no such thing, just system fabrication and that system is ending
