Anyone else have BPD?

[lifeless_libby]

Hi, I'm new to this community and was wondering how many people on here also have BPD. I was wanting to meet other people with the diagnosis. I feel completely alone and isolated from almost everyone because I'm misunderstood. My parents are both alcoholics and I currently live with them. I have wanted to to kms for a while now.

 

[themisfell]

I have BPD, is there anything in particular you wanted to discuss?

 

[GreenBanana23]

when i was put in the ward they diagnosed me with it however im not entirely sure i agree with their diagnosis, but, since they technically did, yeah i guess i sort of do too

 

[tora]

I have it, and honestly it's one of the main reasons I'm going to CTB. it feels like a curse to have it :(

 

[sammiechzxv]

Yeah. It's basically ruined my life.

 

[whywere]

I have had BPD since like forever. I really dislike the one aspect of my mood being all over the place. Also, the fear of abandonment stinks also.

I am in a great mood and then in a flash, I might be down or a powder keg of gun powder waiting to go off. Try as I might BPD haunts me all the time.

Also, the abandonment part sometimes leaves me with sky-high anxiety. That is where SaSu comes into play, knowing that I have friends/family here, thank heavens for all of you folks, thank you so much!!!!

BPD is going to kill me.

 

[Minsu]

I personally don't have BPD, but my ex good friend does

 

[curtaincall]

Yup. It's a bitch.

I read somewhere that 20% of people with BPD end up CBT.

 

[Holu]

I was gonna ask if borderline or bipolar but it seems I cannot really relate.

All I can say is I feel for y'all. Close friend of mine named Jenna had BPD. She gon now :(. Shit mixed with relationships ruins u truly

 

[Xta4Love]

I have BPD among other things. It's a real bitch. And mental health care won't take you seriously with BPD

 

[CW36]

Yes. Stems from childhood trauma. Sensitive people will often suffer at school. If you have abuse and neglect at home too, that'll mess anyone up, because you've got no safe haven. There's no justice for such crimes, because they're not tangible. I think decades of abuse should be deemed worse than say robbing a bank.

 

[mimig1805]

I have bpd! I got diagnosed recently and my mom thinks I'm manipulative bc of it, it honestly sucks that she can't see all the other shit I go through.

 

[pyroxenic]

Got diagnosed with BPD back in 2021. Its a life curse and like others have said so far, it will be the death of me and one of the biggest reasons why i want to CTB.

 

[blitz]

Yup. I have BPD aswell. It's literally ruined my life in every single way.

 

[Amelie]

I agree, both those symptoms are exhausting and painful. I'm so glad you have a supportive family.

BPD is going to kill me.

I feel your pain...

Yes. Stems from childhood trauma. Sensitive people will often suffer at school. If you have abuse and neglect at home too, that'll mess anyone up, because you've got no safe haven.

I agree completely, thank you for sharing

You are not manipulative you're just hurting.

I'm so sorry for the pain you are feeling.

 

[kunikuzushi]

Yes it's really isolating because I'm at the point where it's too painful getting close to anyone. It's the same patterns over and over. I don't want to do it anymore, and I'm too tired to work on myself anymore than I already have. I'm really sorry you have to suffer through this too.

yep, BPD is just one of the many things that ruined my life and make me wanna CTB.

 

[JKFleck]

Yep I have BPD too and lost my friends because of it

 

[Amyend88]

Me too. It's caused by a traumatic childhood they say.

Most of our society in a nutshell

 

[Spiritual survivor]

I had a lot of BPD type issues especially wen in my 20's and 30's. As I've learned more about mental health type issues, I think I suffer with complex ptsd, ADD, autism, and the struggle to regulate and understand my emotions. I did have a very neglected, invalidating, low nurturance, abusive, childhood. But the autism I think is what really caused the most actual disability because I don't appear autistic, and people assume because I've survived this long that I can't have that. No I've never been high functioning I just probably learned to hide it and appear more like the average person. I've survived by alternative but unhealthy way of supporting myself due to the undiagnosed autism causing me to be unable to last in normal employment.

 

[Asingletwig]

There's a fair number of ppl with BPD here

 

[Spiritual survivor]

Yes. Stems from childhood trauma. Sensitive people will often suffer at school. If you have abuse and neglect at home too, that'll mess anyone up, because you've got no safe haven. There's no justice for such crimes, because they're not tangible. I think decades of abuse should be deemed worse than say robbing a bank.

Many parents should be in prison, and there should be some type of way to remove children early from parents who are not able to properly nurture children in those first 6 years or so. The kids suffer for the rest of their life from the unmet needs unless they are fortunate enough to access the right therapy and before it steals your adulthood.

 

[cryvinglightning]

my therapist couldn't really understand which of my behaviors are a symptom of bpd and which one are autism, so she referred to my symptoms as a combo of both. i can still say with certainty that it fucks me over and has done so for ages.

I think we get stuck on diagnostic labeling too much. I'm not sure why they separate complex ptsd from borderline personality disorder since it is caused by child abuse and neglect for both. Now the autism thing, this is not caused by child abuse so there should be some way to make the distinction easily.

 

[letsmakeitagoodworl]

when i was put in the ward they diagnosed me with it however im not entirely sure i agree with their diagnosis, but, since they technically did, yeah i guess i sort of do too

Take the diagnosis (borderline PD... I don't think Bipolar is what OP is talking about but I couldn't be sure)with a grain of salt. Some drs are terrible/lazy & like to DX young females especially who have attempted or self harm with bpd when they do not have it. It happened to me & since I've been told not only do I NOT have it but I have OCD PD which is the complete opposite.
I don't believe anyone under 25 should be able to be diagnosed due to the damage it can do in recovering help but particularly because the cognitive prefrontal cortex in the brain isn't fully developed until then so people can display behaviours that are due to that not a mental health disorder.

That's not to say people aren't suffering, it's just BPD is a terrible label to slap onto people, they need to rewrite the whole diagnosis because people with eating disorders, depression, bipolar & psychosis can all tick multiple boxes of BPD.

I would say tho (and again don't wanna undermine anyone here, but "BPD" has a very good recovery rate (which I equate to incorrect diagnosing & its remission with age), but I say that because I know many who were diagnosed years ago who are now content in life.

i have never committed self harm but tick many boxes of BPD... but not enoguh to be a real diagnosis, the doctor in front of me literally said "yeah we'll say you have that one" when i said "im not so sure i agree with this, maybe" about one of the "symptoms"

really though you're right that many other disorders and issues overlap into the BPD label... personally i still am far from recovered and not sure I will ever be. probably will be dead in the next 5 years
