Personality Disorders Support Group
Personality disorders form a class of mental disorders that are characterized by long-lasting rigid patterns of thought and behaviour. Personality disorders are seen by the American Psychiatric Association as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it.
I hate BPD. I just hate it. I have been doing such a good job of working through it and today the thoughts of cutting and burning are so overwhelming. I have not (and will not) done anything but still the feeling after 6 weeks of being able to work it out in my mind.
The that keeps coming up is in my current relationship. I have explained and explained and explained to my finace about sex issues that I have and how they all relate back to my abandonment issues that I have. Nothing has changed!! It is finally broke me and I am thinking about leaving this wonderful guy who has supported me through so much in the last 9 years. Just because of the fact that I am having sexual side effects form all these damn meds.
How in do we make these jumps is it because of the BPD? Is it because I am not seeing an effeort on his part to change. What am I suppose to do keep talking about it to him and still have it change? Or the real question go out and have an affair which was the breaking action in my marriage? I don't know what to do or how to make it change but I can't take it the way that it is now.

Hey, sweetness! Ask your meds doc about something that will cut the sexual side effects - there is an antihistamine that certainly helps with it. Also, have you tried DBT? Dialectial Behavioral Therapy? I'm BPD too, and that has made an incredible difference in my life and my abiility to handle it. Just a couple of thoughts, but mostly I just want to say, hang in there - BPD is tough, but you are strong! Big hugs!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
