Hey Guys,

I am a 33 year old guy who has recenly been diagnosed with BPD.

My BDP dates back many many years but I have managed to supress the symptoms. Seems they have exploded out like a volcano the last six months causing me to self harm nearly daily now.

I know theere are many woman out there with BPD and I would love to here from you to....but if there is another guy out there around my age with BPD please let me know as I would like to just go over it with someone that understands....maybe get some perspective.

Cheers

Brad

i dont know but if there was a way for you to be healed would you take the healing, or would you say no thanks. jesus came to not only to give us life but to give it to us abundantly. he came to set us free from bondage of sin and death and sickness, he came to heal the broken hearted, to set free those who are in captivity in other words to set us free from physical and spiritual problems. he brang us his kingdom and in that kingdom has healing provision of daily needs, comforting, guiding, counseloring peace and more. he died to sickness disease sin and death and by his wounds you are healed. to receive all this and more we must receive the healer jesus christ . godbless and all the best.

That is rubbish, religion has nothing to do with boarderline personailtiy.

It is a problem, that ended my first marriage. I was cutting myself, and still to this day hate myself and fail to properly take care of myself.

I have Boarderline Personality, Bipolar, PSTD, ADHD, and OCD.

I would like to talk to you further about this, I send you an e-mail please get back ahold of me, it is nice to have firends with the same problem.

By the way my name is Pammila and I am 37 been living with borderline personality most of my life.

The funny thing about it, is that some relationships it was a problem, and others it was not. Thankfully I am remarried and now it is not currently a problem, but I would still like to help you out with this problem.

I can't remember the name of the book, but there is a training book for borderline personality. That you should get, I got a copy here and will try to find it and get back to you with a name. But it is training on how to act normal around others.

What makes it 'borderline'
I was recently diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder, (formerly known as multiple personality disorder) after hearing voices and having black out periods. I had different symptoms that went way back as well, but like you they just sorta exploded more recently. I only know my alters by the what they say to my fiance and other close family members. They lie and pretend they are me to other people although they have different names. I havent met anyone else dealing with this crap and think it would just be nice to talk to someone else that sorta gets it, you know, the day to day crap.
Good luck finding what/who your looking for.

We don't have multiple personalities, just a problem with relating to loved ones. It is a balancing act between upset and angry. Trouble with hating ourselves. And sometimes cutting ourselves.

I feel for you though, dissociative identity disorder. That sounds horrible. I don't know what to say for your situation, other then keep up counseling and seeing your perscribing doctor.

With borderline personality, we need to take classes to learn how to fit in with others.

Males with BPD
I am responding to this because I suspect that my 19 year old son may have BPD. He has the current diagnosis of ADHD, anxiety disorder and complex partial seizure disorder, but in the last 6 months, other symptoms have started to emerge and they are leading me to think of BPD. Impulsivity, which of course can be ADHD has increased. He has started abusing alcohol and is currently on house arrest for drinking and ending up inside another persons home. But probably the most distressing symptom is his odd relationship with girls. Literally jumping from girl to girl, stating he is in love after even just a few conversations (since he is on house arrest, he is doing internet dating only), but even by phone calls and talking on computer, he is very controlling and ends up pushing the girl away. When this happens he gets very, very angry - that is untl he finds another girl within a day or so... For any of you with BPD, does this sound familiar???
