Anonymous asked: I read the post about messages and whatnot, and I was wondering if there was a way to communicate to you better or so we can message easier-ly without it coming in pieces and stuff? I don't mind the wait time, but I don't want to send you messages in pieces cause the ask box doesn't hold it all.. so, yea, ha, sorry. Also, I don't have a tumblr and I just can't make a new...
Anonymous asked: The thing to remember about any mental disorder is that diagnosis takes many hours of talking and discussing history with the same therapist. Also, sadly, walking into a therapists office and being "Web Md" is a great way to not be taken seriously. :(
Anonymous asked: I sort of have the same concern as the person who said they were worried about it. I actually went to a dr to talk to about it and told him that I have 6 of the 7 symptoms of BPD. He's the only professional that I have talked to. He told me that I didn't have it because I'd be locked in a mental hospital 90% of my life, but I don't know if he's right because I know I have...

Anonymous asked: Does any other BPD people feel the constant need for approval/attention? Like my stories, I always need someone to read it and say "oh yeah, it's good." Or at parties, I feel like I NEED to get hit on. I'll often do things I actually don't want to do just because I'm afraid of rejection (ie: I HATE intimacy anywhere around trees because of sexual abuse as a child, but...
Anonymous asked: What are the ages that BPD usually occur at?
Anonymous asked: I have been diagnosed BPD about two months ago and I was wondering if, this is going to sound strange, but is homicidal thoughts part of it? I have never told anyone about it but I can't help but to think of what it'd be like to kill someone and I always imagine people dead. I am pretty sure I would never kill anyone though, even with my lack of conscious.
Borderline & Polyamory
I have BPD and I’m dating a polyamorous person (a person who has/can have more than one partner) and I ran into a bunch of problems, as I knew I would. I really really care about my partner a lot, but obviously the fact that they have partners besides me makes me feel unloved and abandoned. I was wondering, how would other people with Borderline Personality approach this if you had a...
I will let Chelsea run the blog for a while
I already had severe muscles pain and now that I can’t rely on one of my legs, I have to compensate with my other muscles and I can barely move. Even coming on the computer hurts (my shoulders, arms, forearms, wrists, hands, fingers, etc.)
I don’t know for how long I won’t be able to walk since I can’t go to the clinic until tomorrow. I hope it won’t be long.

Sorry we haven't posted a lot of answers lately...
I wasn’t feeling very good last week, I had a lot of migraines and it was hard emotionally, and yesterday I hurt my foot and now I need crutches (I think karma has something against me!), I will need to go to the clinic, x-rays, etc.
Chelsea has problems with her Internet right now…
I hope you’re doing better than me. I hope that this week I’ll be able to answer some...

Anonymous asked: About taking a step back from school/work... that has been the best decision in my life so far. I finished school 2 years ago (my second go at school) and had a breakdown when I tried to go to university. I haven't tried again since and I have not tried to find another job either. I'm almost 30 btw, but I have never felt this good with my illness and my life before. Screw what other...
theultimategaylord asked: i was looking back through this blog and i saw the question about weight gain and lamictal. i'm on lamictal and one of the side effects is actually weight loss, and weight gain is not listed. i mean it could be different with differet people, but i experienced about a five pound loss after i started it.
Anonymous asked: Know of other mental illness memes on here?
letgo-liveon asked: To the anon about not being in a relationship, I know exactly how you feel. I can't keep a stable relationship and at times I feel I don't think I can keep one. I've had so many problems in my last real relationship and my ex now hates me because I'm like this. But I always remember things will get better in time. xoxo :)
skeletonsex asked: Sometimes in Ontario they won't admit you to the hospital even if you are suicidal and have a plan. I went to the ER three separate times last month for suicide attempts, and each time they turned me away.

trust-only-the-insane asked: I didn't know BDP even existed, it makes so much sense to me now. your from canada correct? i'm not sure if anyone asked or not how you went about finding help? im turning 21 soon and I feel like ive had this my entire life, but i dont want to talk to my family doctor about it because im positive he will send me to the mental hospital and that terrifies me, i am extremely anti social and...
Anonymous asked: As a diagnosed borderline who grew up under an abusive sociopath, would you say it's a particularly smart decision to continue dating my sociopathic girlfriend?
Anonymous asked: I'm really jealous of you guys which are able to maintain a relationship. I had exactly one in my whole life, and it was years ago; and from the things people post almost everyone seems to have a boyfriend (/girlfriend). I also somehow think that I'd completely turn into a monster if I get emotionally too close to someone (even though I'd love to, really), because I already have a...
chocolatericemilkhotel asked: EVERYTHING that BPD scorpion says describes my friend PERFECTLY. I don't have it, and I don't think I do either, but I totally think she does now. What should I do?! Thanks so much.

Anonymous asked: I think I may have BPD. I've done some research and it just seems to fit with how I act, my moods, etc. But, because of a lack of money/insurance, I don't know if I'll be able to get myself checked out. I know that doctors and psychiatrists are insanely expensive, and I really don't have the means to go see professionals. Do you, or anyone else, have any advice for me?
cunt-salad asked: Hey, i sent an ask and i believe it was in the group of those that got cleared out, I was just wondering that since a friend of mine keeps telling me i remind him of this blog... like ALL THE TIME... should I ask my doctor about BPD? I've been diagnosed with depression and I'm on prozac, but I get all spazzy and bitchy still every couple of days.

Anonymous asked: (same anon as above) I don't get any support from my parenets either (they're horrible parents, not bad people, but horrible parents) and I don't trust my therapist enugh to discus this with her. I just hate school so much, I'd honestly rather set myself on fire then go there every day. I'm only ranting here, but did anyone else have horrible experiences with school? How...
Anonymous asked: Did anyone else ever have HUGE difficulties with school? I've been diagnosed as borderline, but am still in high school, and I hate it so much. Every morning I just want to kill myself before I go to school, I have no motivation whatsoever. The people make me nervous, the work makes me tired and I spend more time crying in the bathroom then I do attending class. I'm about four months...
Anonymous asked: I have been going to my doctor for years, who just throws Xanax at me, I have suffered from depression, binge eating disorder and have been committed to an institution for 5 months, and not once has BPD been suggested to me. It seems to be very fitting, the insecurity , fears of abandonment, self destructive behaviours irrational anger and intense relationships but my doctor is very hesitant to...
