I have BPD and I find this website insulting. I can’t work out whether this website is for people with BPD or just a place to insult them and make them feel even worse. For example the story from Tony “Does my girlfriend have BPD” is a total assholes uneducated point of view. Who is that guy and how dare he come up with his own criteria for diagnosis. BPD is very serious. has a high suicide rate and has a lot of stigma the comes with it. This website should be removed for the greater good of BPD suffers.
I just found this site by pure chance. I do not have BPD but I am a bit concerned about the man that I have been with for the last six or so years. When I first met him he seemed very sincere, caring and very attentive and understand towards me and when we started a relationship about a year later I slowly started to see the cracks unfold in our relationship when I found he was not there for me whenever I had a life changing event happen personally to me or within my family (to which I am very close to). I am not 100% sure if he has this but I am enclosing my blog for you to read which I started to write at the beginning of the year as a bit of therapy for myself. It has been good to get this out as I do think he has perhaps a touch of Aspergers syndrome too. I am not one to diagnose people but the more I read about these things, I can relate to them. This man has told me that in the past he used to cry as a child as he didnt like to be left alone and now that he is an adult he often retreats to his home where he (like myself) lives by himself and often needs a lot of space. He is a brilliant musician and I am surprised that he has not gone further with this. But I welcome you to my page and although I sometimes do not discuss the man I love, I talk about other things in my life and a wee bit about who I am as a person. I look forward to your feedback! Thank you for writing this page as some of the stories I have read have been useful.
Best wishes!
I am grateful that you have made this site available. I don’t have BPD, but my mother does, and my son is diagnosed anti-social personality disorder.
While I am a prime candidate for BPD, I have been vigilant against it. I receive treatment for hormonal disorders (which are so frequently at the root of BPD) and I practice a lifestyle of rigorous self honesty.
Sarah, my hope for you is that you learn to use this site for self help and healing, instead of criticizing those you feel are criticizing you. Tell us your story, instead of your disapproval.
Thanks.
