Do I sound like I might have BPD?

feeds@yuku.com (K Bel) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:19:06 GMT

Ok so I'm trying to figure out if I have BPD. Now I realize this forum isn't a place of diagnose. But, I just wanted to see if BPD sounded possible or if I'm off base.
I have struggled with anxiety and low self esteem most of my life. I have tried to get my sense of identity from pleasing people and trying to gain there acceptance. This has left me emotionally drained and without a clear sense of who I am. I have had a handful of close friendships in the past and...

so, im back from my weekend away camping and fishing in wales. It was bliss, for a day and a night i had run away from all the s***t, i could pretend that here in the wilderness i didn't have BPD, i didn't have to look at myself, and scrutinise everything about myself, i couldlet all the anger go, and just breathe the fresh air, away from rules, just the basics, god it was bliss. and i thought i could put things into perspective try to figure out what to do next, find away to deal...

Do BPD ex-gf's ever go back to someone they dumped for someone else? If yes, why?

feeds@yuku.com (Peter) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 09:14:56 GMT

I mean I know it DOES happen....at times. What I'd like to know, if BPD ex gf's leave a rebound relationship after discovering that they really did love the person they dumped (Me)? My BPD ex dumped me after a 3 yr relationship. Said she "loved me but was not in love with me." Made me incredibly messed up and confused 'cause I felt that things were going "ok." Not great mind you. I think part of it was the fact that I was going through a major depression and...

Was diagnosed with BPD today

feeds@yuku.com (Ethereal) — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 15:53:21 GMT

Even though I was diagnosed with BPD seven years ago, it was later dismissed as wrong by other professionals. Now, the symptoms had gotten so obvious that I, who refused to accept the diagnosis for years, was forced out of denial. I've been waiting for ages to get help, and after admitting myself to a mental institution for a few days, I'm now going to get therapy two times a week. After listening to me describing my situation and behaviour, and doing the standard...

How can I learn to handle that my boyfriend goes out, without knowing when he'll be back or what he's doing?

feeds@yuku.com (Ethereal) — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 15:48:35 GMT

I'm struggling a lot with my boyfriend going out, especially when he's drinking (he loses control when he drinks), and refusing to tell me when he'll be home, give me a call if he'll be late, or tell me if he decides to for an example go out drinking with a mate when he originally was just going to visit him. He gets so angry when I want to know if he's going out for two hours or five, for an example, saying that I take away his freedom, that I'm so neurotic etc....
