| I understand all of this all too well. I have battled this stuff for years. The anxiety, the fear - Sometimes not being able to drive down the street to the store alone. Calling people is often difficult. But as this has been apart of me for so long I have started to adjust/adapt. I don't know what I did differently in particular, I just may have developed different layers of this. I cope by numbing myself as much as possible to the thoughts and criticisms of others. It's no way to live, but I do it. I have started to lose empathy, and my emotions feel contrived, when expressed. I don't know. Life is hard for everyone. We all need to start treating others with respect. Our culture has a big part to play in why so many of us suffer from mental illness. It starts early. We are our experiences. Every day, we carry scars - new and old ones - that shape who we have been, are, and will become. I think for any of you that are younger, you should start trying to look at yourselves in a positive light. You may be overweight, suffer acne, have divorced parents, or in any of various other ways be perceived as different or "unsightly"/unattractive. Our society can be mean. Kids can be very mean. It's hard, I know. But try to keep your chin up. Realize that when you become an adult and aren't in school anymore - life falls in your lap and you are going to be expected to lead it yourself. Popularity and all of that crap from school won't matter anymore. Sure, there are some kids that are brought into the world with better circumstances - but how they utilize them will depend on them. Just as we all must make our own decisions and rely on ourselves to decide our fate. Don't be ashamed of being you. The world needs all of our colors, ideas, creativity, passions, and personalities. Enjoy your youth. If you are bullied, fight back - you don't want to regret not standing up for yourself later on. To live with no regrets, act now. Speak your mind. We are all important. I know I have kind of ranted here, but I truly believe that these social problems/disorders stem from experiences in our youth. If you are an adult like myself, it's never too late to address the problem and try to find better ways to cope. I am still searching and we will get there someday, but until we as a whole can try to rid our society of prejudices and mindless cruelty, there will be people in our boat forever. | |

| Hey, I agree and everything, but you dont have to be fat and unattractive to become a s---sling target. The problem today is that religion is losing its influence on society, so it is desperately struggling to regain this control, thus were living in a hysteria/witchhunt right now where anybody perceived as a deviant gets some really harsh treatment. If nobody at school f---s with you (as in the case with me) then your parents surely will. And if the ones you depend on become bullies and your worst enemy... well, your gonna have a lot of fun putting your life together and imagining a childhood you never had. | |

| I need a proper diagnosis of this disorder. It seems like it covers a wide variety of disorders. What borderline is this disorder on? I have a university degree and I still don't understand why people with borderline disorder are treated with such disdain by the medical profession? | |

| I agree that religion is part of the problem, but where I live, religion greatly affects the daily lives of everyone. A person's church is a status symbol. People are hired/fired/persecuted/etc based on their beliefs. Our country is so in the dark about everything and yet so many continue as if it's OK. And parents that abuse their kids in any manor should be severely punished. Bullies actually come from an alteration of the "golden rule" - Do unto others as they have done unto you. It's all about payback. | |
