That sounds about right. I hope it isn't followed up by any self-destructive behavior? I wish I was an expert in this field; perhaps then we can separate the cause from the effect to make everything just a little easier. Unfortunately, I can't tell if I am drowning myself in a drug-induced fantasy every day because I can't get a grasp on life or if I can't get a grasp on life because I spend every day in a nearly comatose state. There are tons of people who would give me the shirt off their back if I needed it - but lately, I have driven them away. Almost each and every one of them. One problem leads to the next. I am serious about getting help, and the fact that it is all up to me to see it through is a little uncomfortable. I can barely get up and get my job back - I've seriously been considering some places to sleep around town if I strike it homeless. Overall, I am harming myself rather than harming the people I care for. I used to have a terrible anger problem that still lurks beneath the surface; the drugs take away the hurt and leave the pain. :| |

so with all these issues we have, what do we do to fix up the way we think, live, and act? i've been keeping busy to not put into thought what is really the problem... i abused drugs, so i quit. now i abuse alcohol and had a terrible enraged episode friday night and did things i would never in my right mind do... and now, im completely stunned and feel like s---. i took the test and have been reassured what my problems are... |

I scored very high - moderate on everything except antisocial, histrionic, and narcissistic. I scored my only very high on borderline. I used to bring physical harm to myself, but my boyfriend somehow convinced me to stop. I still feel the need, but now I've developed a sort of eating disorder in place of it. I feel for each and everyone of you, and Monster, I'm even younger than you, so I know exactly how you feel. We have a right to be happy, whether we think so or not. Even talking on these forums can help with our disorders and issues. I pray for all of you. |

| Someone very close to me is I think borderline. Is self harming by banging your head and causing injury also considered borderline behaviour? He also has problems with alcohol and when he stops drinking has problems controlling anger and becomes anti social. He says he feels his life has no sense. The is also impulsive behaviour like drink driving and suddenly losing money in a single gambling spree (he is not a habitual gambler) and then being very angry and hating himself. | |

I've been thinking there was something wrong with me for 3 years now. At first i thought it was depression, then i thought i was bipolar, then i saw a film called girl, interrupted the other day and she had BPD, i didn't know what it was so i looked it up and i realised i fit the symptoms perfectly. i did some searching around and i come to the same conclusion, i then took this test, you know just to see if it was possible, and i got high for paranoid, Schizotypal, narcissitic, histronic and very high for borderline and avoidant, and i read somewhere that borderline often associates with bipolar, narccistic and histronic. coincedence much? anyways i think i am bpd, i'm not going to go into personal details because like i said i fit the symptoms. And i don't know what to do. i'm 16 i study psychology at school and i've learnt about different types of drugs and pschological and physiological therapies and in all honesty, i'm not sure if it would work. not to mention those who are proffessionals judge you and don't understand where you're coming from, how can they? They need to have a clear record of mental health surely. So i'm just wondering, has anyone recovered from bpd here? Or does anyone have any tips? i don't fancy seeing a psy. or taking drugs. if thats the only option then i'll give it a try but i thought i might give it a shot on here. Much appreciated. |

Ahhh. That darn blank posting... I'm not sure there's a cure for any of the disorders, Saoirse, but perhaps you should see a professional. I think it's great you're studying psychology. I'm sure it will definitely help to understand your BPD. Maybe you could see a school counselor, or something... No, I don't think I've even known someone with BPD, so, I don't know a thing about recovery. Good luck with your searching. |

| but doesn't seeing a professional just prove your as unworthy of a person as you think you are in the first place? If I am this unhealthy mentally, then maybe I don't deserve the help. I don't want to lose the ability to function with meds and I don't want to lose the person I am. I just want to feel like I don't need to hurt myself in any way... | |
