Personality disorders form a class of mental disorders that are characterized by long-lasting rigid patterns of thought and behaviour.

SO i have many many problems. I have an eating disorder, emotional problems, abandonment issues. Its so hard for me to get close to anyone. When i do i feel horrible anxiety. Sometimes I can't even be touched or ill just start to cry. I never had an easy life growing up, I was physically abused by my mother and verbilly abused by my alcohlic father. So i've never felt what love really was. When a guy tries to love me in a healthy way, i freak out, i will push him away to the point where he will break up with me and then ill freak out and do anything to get him back. I become desperate to get him back. I can't be left i hate the feeling of abandonment but can't stand the feeling of closeness. i know its weird but i have been like this my whole life. I have been diagnosed with depression, GAD, bipolar, and borderline personality disorder.I just don't know how to let someone in and have it be healthy....any advice?

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...
So you are taking a first step in looking at your situation and being honest with yourself on DS. Maybe from that stance you will be able to see what you could do about some of this.
maybe at somepoint it would have to be a Head decision rather than a Heart decision.
For instance, to say, I really love this fellow - so FOR HIM NOW I am not going to behave in a certain way.
I tried writing my self a contract that I then signed. It is in my handbag, and if I feel some negative behaviour coming on I can get it out and think: I wrote this in a logical moment. It still holds true. I will behave according to my contract, not according to the screaming fit that is going on in my brain.
