• 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.

  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Borderline Personality Disorder



(I hope I don't have this, but the symptoms are there-Dad denies it)

serious mental health condition marked by self-destructive behavior, anger, impulsiveness, and fear of rejection. These uncontrolled emotions lead to intense moods, suicidal behavior, and difficulty maintaining relationships at work and in your personal life.


I get angry, I tend to scream out followed by anger, I do have tantrums and I tend to drive my parents nuts with my problems, I don't like being rejected!



Borderline personality disorder is associated with an overwhelming fear of being abandoned. This fear leads to extreme anxiety and frantic attempts to avoid being abandoned, even if the threat of abandonment is not real. For example, you may experience panic or intense anger when someone you care about is just a few minutes late arriving for an appointment.




I can feel abandoned and rejected at times, yes.



You may also be prone to sudden shifts in your view of others who might be seen as friends or supporters one minute and as enemies the next. If you feel you have been wronged by someone, you may spend a great amount of energy around fighting that wrong, sometimes to the exclusion of everything else in your life. Some people with borderline personality disorder respond to the despair and unrealistic fear of being abandoned with self-mutilation (such as cutting or burning oneself) or suicidal behaviors.




Yes, one minute I admire these people, the next minute I hate on them either out of them doing something wrong to me or out of jealousy. I don't mean it. I've never cut myself before. Nor do I have suicidal behaviors, but i did say I wanted to die, because it wasn't worth it-the life on planet Earth.



Well, this is what I came up with when I looked it up. I don't know if i really have this, but the symptoms are there. I guess I have had this ever since 13 years old, off and on, if I do have it. Maybe that's why I tweaked hard in H.S. and 8th grade. Maybe I was too comfortable. :scratch: :confused:
