What are the differences between Borderline Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder?
-
The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

** i do believe it is best to consult a professional. there are many different componets or deffinitions with each person diagnosed; reading about the subject online may or may not be accurate.

I'm afraid it's not possible to consult a professional. No insurance will pay for me to see a doctor about my sister's illness.

if you are comfortable with it, you can pm me with nessasary details and i'll locate resources in your area. i'm very good at finding free asistance programs. i'm also posting this as a resource to others; so you are aware that staff does this when ever possible. just remember to pm your questions and information. this way, no one's personal information is unsecure where online viewrs have access.

I've approached the free and low cost resources around here and I either don't qualify because I have health insurance (with a lifetime limit of $1000 for mental health care, which I have already exceeded) or they have a waiting list of more than a year.
Thanks anyway, though.
Does anyone know what distinguishes BPD from NPD? They seem to overlap a lot.

You can check out the links goldenviolet provided. They're pretty accurate if you are looking for a definition. It's easy to contrast on your own. You can also PM me if something sounds confusing.
