    hopeless

    Peg, I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. I forget now, do you have anyone supportive, other than your Mom nearby? I would say it is important to see a Dr. if you can see one... if you can afford to see one. These feelings are serious. You matter and need to take care of you. You...

    Need to rant

    flower, I'm praying for you, too. I understand when you say about being so exhausted. I am so sorry you go through this. Thank you for sharing because I did not know this was part of aspergers. I had an eating disorder many years ago, and thought my limited foods were residuals of that...

    ignorant family members

    I completely get what you mean, PegMonkey. I hate when my feelings get out of control. As soon as I begin to lose my emotional balance, I begin judging myself.... the very last thing I need is when others jump in with bad judgements of me, too. I do enough self-judgement. On the other hand...

    Do Borderlines see their actions as abusive?

    If a diabetic gets too low on their insulin, then they can also get very angry and even delusional. The mind is a powerful and somewhat tricky thing. Just as I would not label a diabetic in this case "abusive"... I take caution before labeling people in a BPD episode abusive. I prefer to say...

    Brain Scans Clarify BPD

    No worries. :) I think this is because I'm afraid of being judged. I have had people judge me so much before knowing me, if they know I am BPD. To many people being BPD= being a bad person. It sort of breaks my heart. But, no, I do have BPD. I was diagnosed at 19, but had it my whole life in...

    Do Borderlines see their actions as abusive?

    I haven't seen that movie, but it may well be. My Mother was BPD in my opinion- she was never diagnosed. She was a very different person when she was in an episode. After, she would have no recollection of it- none. I felt like the crazy one at those times. That said, I would not trade...

    Brain Scans Clarify BPD

    PegMonkey, why would you think I did not have BPD? I'm kind of curious. I don't think we are oh-so-far apart on some things you say. In some ways I also disagree. People with BPD - are we victims? Well, what is a victim, first of all. Every person is a victim and victor in all sorts of ways...

    Brain Scans Clarify BPD

    You're welcome to dfly! :) walrusgumboot (love the name!) ... I am so sorry to hear about what your wife has gone through. It's true that some people do seem to come from NT parents and can have relatively normal growing up periods. One explanation I have read for this is that such people...
