• 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've noticed that so much attention on this forum is directed toward borderlines and the pain that they feel, but what about the non-borderlines in their lives? Non-borderlines are at the receiving end of a very abusive relationship that the borderline dishes out.

Things like:

1) Manipulation
2) Control
3) Verbal Abuse
4) Push/Pull crazy-making

Borderlines do this and much more to others, and yet so many people want to feel more sorry for them, even though the have destructive personalities to the people around them.

Hi the thing is we don't enjoy it we just do it.
When you become aware it heightens the anxiety, mistakes, err, fear, dislike, hatred. We may walk around like its good but swinging from tears, to fears, Paronia, insecurity, suicidal ideations is not nice, no one benefits the BPD or the quoted normal everyday person. We create and live in hell, constantly, you can leave it, BPD cannot. Please don't believe we are not conscious or duty bound we are. Our need for love gives us a heightened on that runs paradox to our fear of loss and hurting others is as physically painful, yes we feel the emotions physically.
