BPD Borderline personality disorder

[safenow]

Hello again, belongtolive. She really needs to start getting some help for her issues. You can't fix her. I hope you realize that. I'm sorry you two set each other off.

I have PTSD, and I've never had a really loving relationship with anyone. I thought I did with my second husband, but when my cancer came into play, he was afraid i was going to die, and he can't handle sickness, so he and I split up. I keep surviving, and that throws everything off. LOL.

I really hope she can get the help she needs. You deserve to have a loving relationship without all the stress associated with someone who has the untreated illness.

Good luck to you.

Thanks for your kind words.I know that it is no good for me and my son.I am not free of issues my self and I am seeking the help I need.I am trying to be positive and feel I am growing.

Sometimes when I am sad,lonely and thinking and feeling her ,I wonder if she will be ok and seek help.
I think in the early days of our relationship we helped each other but then began to absorb each others pain.I feel torn to help from afar somehow without having contact with her.It's still pretty fresh so hopefully time will help.

Just been diagnosed with it at age 22.

Still trying to figure out it's nuances so that I can get a better handle on it.

Keep in touch and tell me how you go?

Yep, I've got both BPD and complex PTSD :( urgh!

The hardest thing for me right now is accepting both. The BPD was treated successfully 8yrs ago and is not so out of control as it used to be, but still effects me a lot. As for the PTSD, it's a daily battle. Some days better than others but I still have a mountain to climb. My body's reactions to traumas is the worst. Now I can't even process it all as the reactions within me are so acute that no therapist will support me through it as I'm considered too 'unstable' and too 'complex' :'(

I have PTSD and was diagnosed with Boderline Personality Disorder recently. I'm devastated because I found out about the latter diagnosis on my own. I'm now having trust issues with my therapist and psychiatrist for not telling me for a month. Now I don't know who to trust. I'm afraid because no one has talked to me about it yet so I only know what I read on the internet about it.

I have pm'd those who have this diagnosis. I am far from being an expert despite my favourate phrase "expert by experience"! Hope the message is reassuring & helpful.;)

I just looked up Borderline Personality Disorder and every last symptom listed on the NIMH website fits my life.

Wow...
