n3ph1l1mxx asked: I just wanted to say to the girl who was having problems with her S.O being poly, I'm BPD & Poly as well, and I'm always down to help someone out :]
Anonymous asked: For almost seven years I've thought I have BPD, but I was afraid that I was over reacting/ being a hypochondriac. But now I'm getting a lot worse and I'm exhibiting the signs more intensely. I sat down with my counselor (through counseling services at my college) and we went through her DSM together. She told me that she cannot diagnose, but she can see my concern. I think this is...
Anonymous asked: I have most of the symptoms for borderline but I am not cutting myself. So is it for me possible to have borderline? I am in therapy now and if I talk to my therapist about my symptoms, how will he diagnose me? Have I to take a test? Or do we just talk? I need help..
Anonymous asked: Do you think you can have BPD without cutting? I don't cut myself but, I do pick at myself. I fit the rest of the criteria, I'm just wondering your thoughts on this.
h-is-for-homicide asked: i really resent this blog. and the meme itself. bpd isnt something to be made fun of. #js
Anonymous asked: please can you help me and tell me what to do! ive been diagnosed with bpd, depression, anxiety, bulimia, adhd. and ive learnt to come to terms with it, but i dont know what to do anymore, i feel like if i stay here any longer im gonna kill myself or even worse kill someone! i just want to die, all the hurt to stop, im sick of people leaving me when things get tough and they find out about my...
youranesthetist-deactivated2012 asked: To the anon with the skeptical doctor, I'm not sure where you live, but no one really gets "locked up in a mental institution for 90% of their lives" anymore, unless they have committed some kind of heinous crime. If you strongly suspect you have a certain disorder, there's likely truth to it. Many places offer listings of therapists along with their specialties -- Psychology...
I’m currently in a treatment program, but I don’t feel it’s right for me. It focuses heavily on drug and alcohol addiction. While yes, I have abused drugs and alcohol, I’m not addicted to them and never have been. My drug usage directly relates to my impulsiveness. I used drugs as a coping mechanism and once it stopped working I stopped using it. Much like self-injury, it...
manicpixieshowgirl asked: I think you answered me privately, my post didn't reach the page for the anon who needed the advice on polyamory w/ BPD.
Anonymous asked: I don't know if you ignored my question or just haven't gotten around to answering it. I hope it was the latter because I wrote it last night when i was planing on killing myself and I really need advice. I just, I don't know, I hope to god you didn't ignore it because for some fucked up reason that would make me feel so fucking bad. I hate this disease and I'm so fucking...
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: How does one get their self checked out? I live in ottawa is there any advice or things i need to know? Please help, i know i have a problem and i am very alone
Anonymous asked: i'm cheating on my girlfriend with someone i barely know but feel like i really love and i don't know what to do. i haven't talked to my girlfriend in a long time because she's been really busy and we're in a long distance relationship. i don't want to hurt anyone but i can't stop myself from having these feelings about multiple people. i talked to my girlfriend...
Submitted.
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...
lesbegays 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?
alexisinnewyork 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...
the92minutestory 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.
