Borderline personality disorder

Anyone here have BPD or suspected BPD? My therapist just told me he thinks I have it and I'm not sure what to think. How did treatment go? I don't want this to get in the way of my lifts which have gone down quite a bit since my diagnosis

What treatment you getting for it?

"Dialetic behavioral therapy" ain't sure it's even going to work

Borderline personality disorder. Depression disorder and anxiety disorder checking in

Supposed to be on Zoloft a.k.a sertraline, shit makes me feel like a zombie, plus gives me the shits

The best thing i can recommend is exercise and quit fapping (srs)

If I jerk off my anxiety goes threw the roof

my ex on top of being a mean bitch, had that. Why don't you do us a favor and kys?

I also dated a girl with BPD who was fucking insane, but he doesnt need to kill himself.

You need to do your DBT, its going to take a long time to become normal but its either you stay a toxic person and destroy everything you touch and possibly kill yourself, or bite the bullet and change yourself for the better.

You can do it, it is your choice whether or not you actually want to

>implying he can be normal

People with the disorder will never be completely 100% normal, but they can come extremely close with time and extensive therapy. BPD is extremely destructive but the worst thing you can do is make someone feel like they won't improve

OP, one of my best friends was diagnosed for it and took 4 years of therapy for it. There are times where he slips, but he is capable of long term relationship and a responsible life now. Get off this website, get your help, and move on

BPD is a fucking made up disorder. literally just stop being a fucking bitch and sort yourself out.

bpds are completely crazy dude. I say this a genuinely crazy person myself, i can recognize it

BPD is NOT made up. You have obviously never had any form of relationship with people who have it. They are extremely ill, their brains do not work like a normal humans. It is very real, and being around it will destroy you if they have not worked on it for long amounts of time

Where's the blue/red hair?

DBT has good treatment rates.

Have had two BPD exes. One did/does DBT and is noticeably better now. The other is still a fucking mess.

No it’s not m8. I dated a girl who’s mom had it and hated me. One minute she’d be calm and the next minute she’d tell my ex she was a failure and needs to fucking get out of the house. Weirdest thing was when she told us not to wait for her when we were supposed to meet her somewhere and then she called up my ex screaming at her about where the fuck she was.

clean your room or kill yourself.

here you go senpai.

forgot to mention
Apparently I have the "acting in" bpd
I don't throw temper tantrums like most bpd's. I just internalize that shit which really isn't any better

that's called bi-polar disorder. not borderline personality disorder.

further proof people withbdp should be dead or in Arkham

seems to me like you weren't having problems before the diagnosis because your problems are psychological and therefore physiological as a result. I dunno tho

no, borderline people very much do that because of switching -- idealization/devaluation cycles. stop trying to talk about shit you don't understand.

I never heard of guys having BPD. its the doctors nice way of saying "you're a crazy bitch". Any girl who has it uses it as an excuse for their insane shittg behaviour. you Can see it in their eyes man

>y-you just don't understand, this very very minor difference in behavior in a very specific situation is why it's different

fuck off

I thought it was BPD because her mom was really paranoid that I was going to steal her daughter and stop her from being successful. I read that BPD people have abandonment issues and since my ex was spending a lot of time with me than around her family like she used too, i was pretty sure it was a reaction to me.

/thread

bipolar disorder doesn't cycle that fast. even "rapid-cycle" bipolar is only having the switch 4+ times within a year; "ultra-rapid cycling," i.e., within the span of even 24 hours, isn't considered bipolar by most psychiatrists and is symptomatic of a different issue. you really don't know what you're talking about and should stop while you're behind.

The lack of education on mental health in this thread is fucking amazing lol

do not look for support here OP

There are online help groups, in person help groups, Reddit has them, there are dozens of forms, your therapist may know of some

You will get better if you fight it, but do not waste your time here any longer. These people do not even realize a male can have the disorder

You will be loved as long as you learn to accept love

Good luck

Yeah and i know a girl who has BPD who doesn't fucking cycle at all. She just uses it as an excuse to be a borderline neet and blame her parents for all of her problems. I've never met a fucking real person with real described BPD symptoms and every single fucking one of them (10+ women) were self diagnosed, and surrounded themselves with their tumblr hug box enablers.

They're all just fucking cunts who use mental illnesses as excuses for terrible behavior because their parents had a hard time telling them no when they were young. literally no one i have ever met, even in this liberal fucking city of Boston has ever been officially diagnosed with this nonsense.

>I-I don't know anyone with it so it doesn't exist!!

good take user, take it with you when you leave

it really doesn't.

what are you gonna do about it, faggot, you gonna "switch" on me and show me whats what with an overreaction to a disagreement

what's it like going through life legitimately thinking you know more than the NAMI, the people who write the DSM-V, etc. based on your limited exposure to "liberals in Boston" j/w

This poster is a fucktard and I wish upon him a lengthy relationship with a BPD sufferer.

Enjoy the rape of your life and mind in perpetuity.

God I want to fuck the shit out of a choker wearing tumblr whore.

The only girlfriend I ever had displayed a lot of symptoms of it. I unironically think that being with her damaged my ability to relate to and interact with women more than still being a KHV would have.

I've lived with men who've been diagnosed BPD. Its quite alot worse

More common in females than males but still occurs.

t.retard

>borderline
Your personality is fully shit, you're not straddling any fences faggot. kys

Yep. Quitting alcohol was the hardest but best thing I've done for myself in a very long time. That alone has made me a much more pleasant person to be around.

what's it like going through life seeking attention and validation, blaming made up shit for your mental state and being an absolute mess of a human being with absolutely no fucking willpower whatsoever

I've been with a stable and sane woman for 7 years.

t. faggot

Agreed. Most mental illneses are not even real.

Most people suffering from a "Mental Illness" are just too invested into their thoughts to change their thought habits. Change your thoughts change your mind.

Its not an illness.

>Whatisattachmenttheory
>Whatisidentifiedgeneticpredisposition

>what are arbitrary labels of specific contextual behaviors

Not any of these anons. BPD is real. Usually it is brought about through childhood abuse, which causes development issues in very early emotional cues. They learn to associate feelings of hurt/abandonment with love (usually thanks to their abusive mothers).

It is not fun at all to deal with individuals suffering from BPD. They are unaware of their behaviors being unusual as well, which makes it difficult for them to seek treatment.

If you've encountered someone with BPD you'd know it was real.

BPD symptoms are just indicators of low IQ. associative disorders and all that fucking dumb shit because they can't operate as individuals on their own will. they need to be made to think how they do. it's pathetic. not even trying to be edgy, but most of these "bpd" fucks i've met have that very specific white girl version of the fluoride stare. you know the one.

BPD sufferers can have high IQ's. Reason it may predominate amongst "lower" IQ individuals is they tend to have more abuse issues than say "higher" IQ individuals (wealthier).

>BPD sufferers can have high IQ

considering it's a self awareness issue above all others, i'm willing to bet you have no fucking citation for that.

B-o-r-d-e-r-l-i-n-e personality disorder. You don't have it yet so you're good bro. Tell that bitch to kick rocks.

same user as His IQ was north of 135; his ACT was 30. BPD is very real. There's a causal relationship between BPD and childhood trauma. During a child's socialization period (0-4) the child is constructing a framework for operating in the world. It does this by observing their primary caregivers behavior. BPD likely occurs because when a child is abused by its primary caregiver, it associates love/hate. note that stable frameworks can be fucked up all the way to 18.

academia is not a viable measurement of IQ. an individual can be really good at memorizing bullshit thrown at their face for the better part of their lives, but in all other areas that matter, such as self reflection, awareness, perception and problem solving skills they're completely barren. this is 100% of cases i have met. they are never as smart as they attempt to make you believe.

>not having a superior cluster A personality disorder
>not being a schizoid and imagining for hours while you exercise, never getting bored
never gonna make it

A) Your statement applies to most normal people regarding IQ, memorizing bullshit, and never being as smart as they think they are.

B) They can have top notch problem solving skills. They essentially have poor "emotional" intelligence, poor interpersonal skills, etc. It is not "IQ." I mean, when they devolve into an episode it seems like they are fucking retarded, but that is because they are essentially reverting back to the emotionality of a 4-10 year old. Whenever they are out of a cycle/episode they are completely "normal" adults.

I'm actually related to the person with BPD that I know. Sometimes I'm worried that I may have the same predispostion. Whenever I drink I can become very angry (though not always), which is a possibility that comes to normal people when drinking, but with my genetic background... there are worries to say the least.

I was also in the early beginnings of a relationship with a girl, and instead of texting me back during the day she was fucking around sending out tweets while putting me on the backburner, and one of my buddies pointed it out to me. I somewhat sperged on the girl thinking she was playing me. Found out later she was trying to date me and several other dudes at the same time, but when I acted that way I didn't know it at the time (I was young, dumb, and a bit of an asshole). Being in a relationship brings about BPD symptoms the most, and I'm deathly afraid of being in one the more I've learned about the disorder. I'm pretty worried that I'll find out I am one, though then again I've heard if you are worried about being one then you likely aren't... most likely just depressive/cynical.
Essentially, it is something I have to be constantly aware of, and yes it is very real.

I've been thinking recently that I'm chosen by fate to suffer uniquely, and I'm supposed to start a cult to destroy the satanist Jewishness which permeates American culture. Just think of the beauty of a world without suffering or want, easily attainable by gene editing eugenics and a homogeneous state.

IQ and SAT/ACT scores are highly correlated (.7 I believe)

you sound like a socially retarded spaz, not someone who may be prone to BPD. both my parents were alcoholics and drug addicts, as was my fathers father before him. i don't drink, i don't do drugs, i'm fit and i'm healthy. i just chose not to do those things because i used my fucking mind and evidence of all those around me with regrets due to those things, to not even start.

i was even socially retarded too, and i used to think it was because i didn't drink or do drugs or all of that other social gateway shit. i'm actually the most socially capable person now because i never used those as social tools, or as crutches. it takes time to learn things on your own, especially about yourself. the problem with people with bpd, and in many ways everyone else, is that people don't want to have to do anything anymore. a person blames the illness because they have no idea where the fuck to start to correct all their problems that their terrible decision making has piled up for them. whether it be depression, bpd, bi-polar disorder, etc etc.

i won't go as far as to say they're not real. i'm sure they can be very real. but for 99% of all cases, all these fucking people with their mountains of prescriptions and crutches just to get them through the day, if they just stopped and were force to look at themselves for once and actually had the will to change, they could.

but people are fucking stupid. so they won't. and they'll continue to blame the illness.

Borderlines have lots of moodswings like that too but they cycle much faster

They also do this thing called splitting which is really annoying

borderline people are very real. Whether it is a "real disease" or just a variant personality idk. You treat it based on symptoms/history just like virtually all psych stuff.

Many murderers and mass killers have been borderline but not all are bad, many I've seen have just been really annoying to deal with.

My first gf was likely borderline but never diagnosed... She had lots of the rapid mood switching and histrionic behavior that is characteristic.

Fucked me up with dating for a year... That was rough.

bpd pls go

So many feels

fuck you asshat. BPD is caused by a collection of different epigenetic mods that alter neurotransmitter pathways, in order to prepare someone to live under a stressful environmental circumstance. Impulsivity and aggression are heightened in the BPD male, and they are at higher risk of suicide. OP hope you're safe, follow the DBT it'll feel silly sometimes. Don't lie to your therapists, and don't feel that you're broken. There is a high correlation between BPD and a lineage of childhood sexual abuse. You or your mother, or even grandmother may have been molested, causing a chain of emotional maladaptations.
Mid tier functioning BPD here trying to make it.

literal uneducated retard
learn genetics or speak not of what you can't even imagine

suck a dick, you weak fuck.

>It is not fun at all to deal with individuals suffering from BPD.

The ones "suffering" from BPD aren't the people with BPD but rather the people who have to put up with their bullshit on a daily basis.

All these support groups just end up reinforcing bad behavior.

Good, another hugbox to tell the batshit BPD bitch that it's the world that need to change.

muh dick

Shit, I forgot all the other cluster As were insane.
Sorry you got the schizotype gene AND some sort of trauma to your system in the womb.

Borderlines are subhuman trash

What are the symptoms of BPD?
