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 am new to this support group and would like to introduce myself. I don't think I really have this. I think we all may have components of this disorder from time to time. Learning more is always helpful.
I am Journaling about my sometimes crazy life in the My Journal section. Feel free to read it whenever you would like. I've written a few entries and plan on writing very frequently so you can check back often. Enjoy!
If you have any tips for me that would be great or if I can help you in anyway. You can contact me or feel free to Chat. I'll be posting my questions at a later time. I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi.

WELCOME! First of all, there are varying degrees of severity in any disorder-Just as one can be mildly depressed, or it can be crippling, you can have mild symptoms of BPD and still fit the diagnosis, or you can-like sum of us-suffer greatly.
Have you been formally diagnosed? Are you seeing a therapist/pdoc? I advise it. Dialectical Behvioral Therapy was created specifcally at BPD patients, and it's actually VERY helpful.
