Hey my name is Kelsey and I'm thirteen years old. I'm almost positive I have BPD. I feel so lost. I hav no idea who I am. Sometimes I feel everything is unreal. I get angry really easily and then I get extremely depressed and i have tons of mood swings. I feel like I have no control over myself. I don't know myself. I don't want 2 be this way. I act differently around everyone depending on who they are, i can't help it. i can't act like myself because i'm empty and...

I am an 18 year old I just started college and I have noticed a recurring pattern that I thought was Bipolar Disorder...Ill just make a list

HUGE dissatisfaction with my personal appearance
tendency for dependency: anytime I can get my hands on any drug (prescription mostly) as long as its a "downer" I go for it
Confusion: I used to tell myself that my homosexuality was a phase and everyone questions theirs. But I find myself continuing to vacillate between...

For years Ive been hiding my emotions and anxiety from everyone i know, my personality will change and i will have bursts of anger or depression in the most unexpected ways.
about a week ago i was diagnosed with BPD. Even though i didn't like it in a way it was such a relief to know that's its not just me and that its a pretty common thing to have.
Reading every ones forums and entries i feel at home. so i want to thank...

Relapses

feeds@yuku.com (RecoveringWriter) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 00:37:22 GMT

Hi, I'm new and I've been diagnosed with BPD for about 4 months. I've been recovering slowly but there are some days where my past just haunts me. I'll wake up one day knowing it will be a bad day and sure enough I'm overly anxious for something to happen. Or I'll wake up and just be depressed and sad like I used to be before I was on meds. I just wanted to know, does anyone else get those days when they relapse even with meds? How do you get back on the right...

Relationship woes [first post!]

feeds@yuku.com (meadow) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:37:20 GMT

Hello all, this is my first post. [I read a few of the topics & I realized I have to be a part of it, dont know why I never looked for such a thing!] There is probably many posts on the topic but I thought I'd share my own, as some of you may relate. I'm 22 years old, diagnosed with bpd when I was 16 yet never stayed in treatment because I felt as if my therapist was doing more harm than good, she told my mom I had an eating disorder and said they could force me into treatment at...

New and Confused

feeds@yuku.com (Tigerlily) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 17:44:20 GMT

So here are the basics.
Im 17, female, and live in the USA.
I've recently started seeing a therapist and been diagnosed with BPD.
It's been helping a little to cope with my extreme emotions, but it hasn't done anything to help me re-build interpersonal relationships. I'm just so sick of pushing everyone away. I recently lost my boyfriend of 3 years because he wants me to just "deal with it and snap out of it". I was overly "clingy" with him...

Hi. I'm Benny, and I'm new.

feeds@yuku.com (kindacutish) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 02:39:07 GMT

I was diagnosed with borderline (or as diagnosed as I can be, since I'm underaged) about a month ago when I was in-patient at a hospital and hate it. I feel like a downright monster. I don't know anybody else with the disorder thats my age, and I was hoping to come on here and find some people who do have it. I feel entirely alone right now. Please Respond, Benny

Newbie!

Hi, Im Jack, 19 from Leeds in England. All my life Ive felt like i didn't belong n e where.

Hello. My name is Laura and I am a 17 year old girl from Luton in England. I only got diagnosed with BPD and Bipolar about a month ago.

According to my psychaitrist I should have been diagnosed years ago as I used to self harm and attempt suicide alot but it was always looked over. I've been living in hell for years with no help, and now I know what I have I'm more scared than ever.

Since I was diagnosed I have realised just how many of my personality traits match the symptoms...

IMPORTANT NOTICE RE: WHO MAY POST ON WHICH BOARDS

feeds@yuku.com (El) — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 15:26:17 GMT

The majority of message boards here are for those who suffer from BPD. There are three boards that are open for those who do not suffer from BPD ("nons"); the open forum, the DBT forum, and the general discussion forum for clinicians.

If you do not have BPD, please restrict your posts to...

"Foul" Language

feeds@yuku.com (El) — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 12:16:32 GMT

To All,

When several of the message boards were changed from moderated to unmoderated, foul language began to creep into many posts. Before then, when moderators had to read every post and reply before deciding to release it, we deleted messages that did not adhere to the board rules. Unmoderated boards rely on the "honor system" to a large extent; members are being trusted to follow the rules.

Moderators have kindly been editing posts containing foul language. In that...

help me please.

feeds@yuku.com (brokendreamer89) — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 00:16:43 GMT

Hi. I'm De-Lyn. I'm new here. These boards seem so impersonal to me but i guess that's something I'm familiar with. I just need help and I'm afraid to ask a friend or co-worker. I'm falling apart and desperately trying to give the impression that I'm steady and clear-headed. But I never really have been. It only ever seemed that way. Please, read the rest because this is probably the most descriptive way i can put my life story and i need to know someone will take the time to read it and...

How Do I Know?

feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 03:34:14 GMT

So aside from actually going to see someone about it, how do i know if I have BPD? I've done a bit of research and I have a lot of the symptoms... but I don't want anyone to know so i don't want to go to a doc for a diagnosis. I jsut want to know whether I have it or not coz for some reason I feel like knowing will make a difference... and how can I overcome it? Without anyone finding out????
