• 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.

I am writing because I work with someone who seems to have a personality disorder. She is nice only when she wants something. The rest of the time she is down right mean in her dealings with me and others. She calls me names and she is very aggressive toward me. I never remember offending her. I have given her plants, clothes, and a variety of other things. I am coming up on my 5 year anniversary at work and I believe she is trying to get me to quit. I have seen her exhibit this behavior toward other people.

Borderlines, can be extremely manipulative. When they want something, they can present themselves one way and they can charm the pants off of people, when they need to.

Read the book "walking on egg shells". Excellent source to learn how to deal with borderlines.
