I'm not sure that would be the best solution. Besides as a borderline/emotionally unstable, I have to talk myself out of suicide every month if not every week or day when it's really bad. I guess I've had experience with my father who had/has severe mood swings, paranoia and is an alcoholic for...

Pah! No such thing as normal. There is a running joke amongst my family. We are all crazy! No, we all have ineffective coping behaviours to deal with distress and so called negative emotions and vulnerability. I have BPD. My sister is avoidant. My mother disassociates. My aunt manipulates. My...

Have you tried therapy? I've done CBT which helped with negative thinking and positive behaviours. I'm now on to DBT which helps with emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills and not making the situation worse. Do you know what has also helped me in the last 2 years...

The problem over here in the UK is that the drugs are cheaper than paying for therapy. Lol! So they drug you on the cheap drugs but probably won't give you the more expensive ones unless you demand therapy. Every time I see a GP at my doctors office, (general practitioner like the family doctor...

Yeah. Just one problem? You need to be strong yourself in order to handle us Borderlines aka emotionally unstable personality disordered. Having a relationship, romantic, maternal, paternal, platonic, work colleague, medical, therapeutic or social with an emotionally unstable person is...

This is quite common. In fact at aged 30..I was diagnosed with low spectrum BPD. My family doctor called a GP in the UK still refers only to the depression/anxiety thing but it's more than that it's a problem with emotional regulation also. the only way to be properly diagnosed is to see a...

As I said else where....being borderline is like walking through the Valley of the shadow of Death.

Christians do feel like that. I think about Job and the Psalms...Basically Job and David are basically having a rant at God about why things are bad for them...I think they stuck it out in the end and that's what we have to do.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. This is why I won't have children until my BPD is stable. No child deserves an unstable mother (Me) and a father (my husband) who doesn't know what to do/deal with a BPD and end up triggering these types of episodes. I am the product of an unstable...

So my mom who is half the time helpful in her comments and half the time unhelpful started saying during one of my episodes that "the Devil is a liar" to which I rolled my eyes. The Devil inside of us tell us we are losers. We are not. We are human. We have good days and bad days. We do the best...

I have BPD...and I've had imaginary friends as a child. I think it's a coping mechanism to deal with stress and trauma. I had an episode last Saturday where I began to talk to my stuffed animal Harry who I've had for over 10 years. But people talk to their plants and I definitely talk to myself...

Hey Murmur... It's ok to be scared. Get on the web and start searching to help you understand. It's an illness like diabetes. Some need medication. Some can do it by just changing their behaviour. It might take a very long time but keep going. There may be times when you need a rest but look at...

I am borderline. I also think of myself as a "Christian" (my definition doesn't always line up with other people's). I'm married and I'm having problems with my husband. I would say that of the recent episodes I've had one was from work, one was from a death in the family and four were triggered...
