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 blow up on my boyfriend so much that he has finally had it with me. After this last fight when I showed up @ his house screaming with a baseball bat and crying, he said one more fight and we are over. He loves me so much and knows I have been diagnosed with BPD and Bipolar disorder, that is why he is so patient with me, and he has even said that if he ever has to leave me, it is not b/c he wants to, but because he has to for his own health, and its a lose lose for him, b/c he loves me so much that leaving me would destroy him, but staying in a relationship with my abuse would too. I just got put on the medication Lamictal for my bipolar dis. 2 days ago, and he said that he wants to wait to see if the medicine helps me to not be so explosive, but I am so scared that it won't work, that I will start a fight over nothing all over again, and lose the love of my life, the best thing that has EVER happened to me. He is so loving, so faithful, so responsible. He makes me want to be a better person, and all Ido is tear him down, especially b/c I get so jealous about his job working as a bartender at a night club, but I know in my heart he would never cheat, but that doesnt stop me. I have such a strong fear of abandonment that it is painful. Please help. What should I do?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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...
I have the same problem and what the major thing for me was that I made my life about him. I needed to find myself and believe in myself and to know that i have a life outside of him. We still ocassionally fight but i don't get so out of control. We went a month with out seeing eachother and I focused on myself and my recovery. I still now try to focus on myself before our realtionship. The thing I learned about good relationships is that both people have somewhat of a seperate life but at the end of the day are one. If that makes sense at all? Try it, it sounds like he wants you too get better so he will stick by you through this.
