Who else /BPD/ here? How do you function? Any problems you've got going on right now?
I'm currently dealing with getting over my oneitis, who also happens to be my first cousin who I only see once a year.
>tfw fell in love with the one girl I can truly never have
ok /r9k/ now you say something
SOMEBODY RESPOND TO THIS FUCKING THREAD GOD DAMMIT
>>29813415
But anon, BPD is literally LITERALLY the same as being a woman. Are you a sissy, anon?
>>29813104
pls hold my cock, I'm feeling really anxious. A robot holding my cock would make me feel better.pls.
>>29813448
No, but I have a traumatic brain injury from a car accident.
>>29813485
Are you the same anon from that thread where you said you had genius iq but suffered from brain fog?
>>29813506
No, that's fucking stupid.
>>29813594
Ah well, he said his brain fog was the result of a car accident.
What's the most stupidly impulsive thing you have ever done?
>>29813744
Off the top of my head, either faking fainting in the middle of a room full of people for no reason or telling my cousin that I'm in love with her.
>>29813786
>faking fainting in a room full of people
That hit me in the feels
Although I've never done anything as faggy as that I've pretended to be upset to sleep with girls which is surprisingly successful, but absolutely awful when it doesn't work out.
>>29813786
I met a girl in the psych ward who had BPD, the sheer unpredictablity of her behaviour drove me mad.
>>29813855
Yeah I don't know why I did it. Everyone in the room knew about my brain injury too, so they were all pretty freaked out. I still feel guilty about it.

anyone know what it's like raising a family with a borderline female?
I was diagnosed with BPD but I feel like my symptoms are different from what most sufferers have. Mainly I feel extremely paranoid that people secretly hate me. The nicer someone is to me, the more convinced I become that I am nothing to them or they are using me.
Anyone else feel this way?
>>29813977

MWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA...
>>29814006
so is just not a meme illness?
>>29813979
Yeah, I get this a lot. I have a pretty extreme fear of abandonment. I feel like people I care about don't like me as much as I like them.
>>29814053
It is in females. Honestly it's a male only disease. Reacting to situations like the average woman would. A female with BPD is just a female.
>>29814051
He was trying to tell you that how you're placing them goes against the intended use, retard.

>>29813979
>>29814059
how does that affect your romantic relationships?
>>29814053
It's like an exxageration of the worst female traits. The cut off for when it is a disorder and when it is not is vague. Just like autism it probably exists, but it is overdiagnosed.

Are BPD people ever redeemable?
Every time I meet one they drive ME nuts, as if on purpose.
It's very morally confusing when you know the shit they do isn't entirely their fault. But where do you draw the line?
>>29814423
it means unwise risk-taking
>>29814412
>ex
Is it summer already? Get out normalfag
>>29814216
I fall extremely hard, extremely quickly. Each romantic interest is largely an attempt to get over the previous one. The more I can't have the person, the more I want them. That's why my current obsession with my cousin is particularly intense. It's all a vicious cycle.
>>29813485
You don't get BPD from traumatic brain injury.
>>29814559
Not directly, but a TBI can bring out the symptoms of a disease you were already predisposed to.
>>29814549
>The more I can't have the person, the more I want them
what happens/would happen if you got with them?
will you just get bored of him?
move on?
cuck him?
drive him away?
>>29814499
Rarely redeemable.
I have a suspicion that all cluster B disorders are varied forms of psychopathy. BPD and ASPD are the least gifted psychopaths, using scare tactics to manipulate. Narcissists and histrionics are a step above, having more social awareness. And then the best psychopaths never get diagnosed because they are too good.
>>29814423
More like making your life and the life of your family miserable. Being a cunt of person. Trips to the ER after your latest "suicide attempt" (taking 3 sleeping pills and some vodka and immediatly calling mommy / daddy / boyfriend). Sometimes succeeding at killing themselves, usually by accident, but it's still pretty shitty for family.
They seem to suffer from all the shit they do but their loved ones suffer even more :/. They usually do better in harsh societies like in hardline muslim countries. Their crappy behavior isn't tolerated and they learn to contain themselves : your father or husband isn't going to tolerate screening and suicide threats, he'll just beat you silly from the start and you'll eventually learn.
>>29814617
Or it's just the effect of TBI itself mixed with your personality traits. There is no way to tell. But of course the DSM encourages multiple diagnosis so you can get prescribed more drugs.
>>29814647
>him
Her. I don't know what I'd do, because she's my cousin. I've run the scenario in my head, and given the astronomical chance that she was interested too, we'd probably keep it a secret for a while and not tell anyone.
>>29814662
>tfw master manipulator
>tfw never been diagnosed with a personality disorder even though I exhibit all of the traits of a cluster B degenerate
>>29814734
You will probably brew up some ridiculously petty revenge drama to guilt trip her and get attention for yourself.
>>29814423
>non-losers
Because having stds from unsafe sex and ruining your life from hard drugs is definitely how to be a winner.
>>29814716
I was in inpatient rehab for a month at the best facility in the world for TBIs. This is also information they told me.
>>29814756
>claims to be a master
>not getting a diagnosis to be prescribed luxury legal drugs

Apply yourself, scrub. You could make a killing on the streets if you don't use them yourself.
>>29814617
No, it can't. BPS isn't something you're predisposed to, you either have it or not. Everyone can have personality traits but that doesn't make it a disorder.
TBI on the other hand can cause brain damage provoking impaired judgment and impulsiveness and impaired social skills, among other things. That is the result of a physical injury, not a personality problem. Other diseases such as stroke of brain tumors can cause those kinds of deficits too.
TL;DR : organic brain injury is different from a personality disorder. Both can have overlapping features because behavior is by definition controlled by the brain. The origin, diagnosis and treatment is very different though.
>>29814766
In 2016 losing is winning. Being a degenerate is being a model citizen. Not contributing to society is a role model.
>>29814707
Woah, that's some pretty serious projecting. Not everyone lives in a colorful wonderland like you where your family loves you.
>>29814763
Naw, the situation is dying down now. I talked to her about it over Facebook while I was drunk last October, and she handled it pretty well. We laughed it off the next morning as the alcohol talking.
I just brought it up to her again last night, this time in person. I'm visiting her family for a few weeks this summer. I wasn't going to mention it again because I didn't want to ruin our friendship, but it was tearing me apart inside. She handled it well once again and basically said she's here for me but also that I should see a therapist. I guess that's the end of things.

>>29814815
But what about the comorbidity of TBIs and mental illness such as borderline and bipolar?
>>29814922
I was into amphetemines during high school
losing weight and fapping to visual novels in 8 hour shifts was dank but it gets old
>>29814962
Street amphetamine is pretty shitty compared to the medical stuff.
>>29814935
Is recovery ever possible for so-called "personality disorders?" Can you make a normal human being out of them? Wouldn't it literally be changing their personality?
>>29814972
Disagree. Here in europe amphetamine paste blows addy out of the water.
>>29814950
Do you even know how psychiatric diagnosis are made? If your behavior fits certain criteria then you can get the diagnosis. Introduce a global brain injury that alters all of your behavior and voila, you get five different diagnosis right off the bat.
>>29814294
>Just like autism
That's a good comparison, BPD has been called "female autism" because similar to how autism is an "extreme male brain", BPD can be thought of as an "extreme female brain".
Rather than simply overdiagnosed I think it (and probably autism) are over *and* underdiagnosed; some people who shouldn't qualify do, and some people who should, don't.
>>29814972
nigger I've been prescribed every fucking amphetemine on the market since I was 11 years old
>>29815016
another way to describe it is BPD is "nurture" 'tism and stuff like aspergers is "nature" tism
>>29815000
The goal is to make them functional in normal situations. Which for BPD means making them less toxic and impulsive.
>>29815016
It's funny, my autistic ass somehow got a crazy BPD gf in my teens and we were the worst couple.
She'd freak out that I wasn't reacting the way she wanted and I had no idea what the fuck was going on half the time.
>>29815015
Sure, so a brain injury can cause a mental illness.
>>29815049
This is very true. I've yet to seen a borderline without a history of abuse and a broken family.
It's tragic.they're still cunts though
>>29815049
Wtf is this bullshit? I know the new DSM doesn't have axis anymore but even in the fourth version APA realised personality disorders are different from neuropsychiatric disorders.
>>29815016
BPD could also be a female version of ADHD. There is also no model "male" or "female" brain.

>>29815137
This made me kek hard and I feel dumb about that
>>29815086
I was trying to tell you statistical correlations of comorbidity are just statistics.
>>29814950
>>29815015
Psychiatric disorders are for the most part based on excluding organic causes for the same association of symptoms.
So, for example, Jamal suffers TBI. He gets uninhibited and cunty. His diagnosis is TBI with XYZ cognitive dysfunction.
Tina is BPD. She suffers TBI. She gets worse because of TBI. Her diagnosis is BPD and TBI with XYZ cognitive deficit. In this case it would be harder, but possible, to say exactly what the cognitive problem is.
>>29815170
Got it, thanks neuropsych anon
I'm not diagnosed (don't trust therapists) but I have all the traits in the OP image (I'm male btw).
It's missing fear of/frantic efforts to avoid abandonment and brief psychotic/dissociative experiences, which are defining traits of BPD.
>>29815000
personalities change all the time, am definately a different person than i was five years ago. theres a thing called cognitive behavioral therapy or cbt that is helpful for people with borderline, but unfortanately most dont seek it or take it seriously
>>29815022
Good job on "fooling" a profession that is obligated to help the customer in some way.
>>29815217
That makes sense, thank you.
What's frustrating (in my experience) is that they'll actively refuse to get help because part of them "enjoys" being fucked up. I think that's common in a lot of mental illnesses, but attention-seeking ones especially.
>>29815211
It's only a disorder if you life gets fucked up due to the symptoms.
>>29815265
yeah, it can be really really frusturating to deal with people who have that. i think the biggest thing is they dont realize how badly it hurts the people around them, so in their minds their behavior is fine because it just hurts themself
>>29815274
This man is right. We all have personality traits but it only becomes a disorder when they start fucking everything up in a regular basis.

Wew. Never again.
I don't know if I have this or not. I mean, looking at the symptoms, it seems like everyone has experienced those feelings at some point or another. Will someone who knows what they're talking about give me an idea as to what this actually is and what it feels like?
I have it and a few other mental issues
Currently go to a mental day hospital and do DBT there
I was told it helps a lot
>Any problems you've got going on right now?
My psychiatrist called me childish
She apologized a lot and said she didn't mean it in that way, but I am still mad at her
>>29817481
I would be mad too, calling someone childish is pretty unprofessional for a psychiatrist. But I guess it depends on the context. Plus, I've heard that psychiatrists describe people with BPD as the most difficult patients to work with.
>>29812966
>that pic description
So BPD is just a lack of self discipline that is being excused as a mental illness?
>>29817560
I feel like thats the case with the majority of mental illnesses. Everybody wants to put a label on themselves to excuse their actions. Nobody wants to just say something like, "Hey, sometimes I get too angry. Maybe I should look into ways to stop that."
>>29817601
Labeling is the first step to doing something about it. Would you rather everyone just ran around angry and hurting people, never bothering to know why or try and find ways to deal with it?
>>29817601
Hahahaha
Man if I could stop being a mentally ill fag I would
Unless the solution involved professional help because psychiatrists are psychotropic rapists
>>29817601
>2016
>taking responsibility for your actions
hahahahahaahahahahahah get a load of this guy
hahahahhahaha
ahahah
ahah
.....
>>29817643
No, labelling is step in the wrong direction. Labelling takes the responsibility away from yourself. It says the problem is not with (you) but with the mental illness.
If you do have an anger problem then don't try to call it angry man syndrome, just try to fucking deal with it.
Maybe you won't be able to get rid of it, but you'll accept it as your problem and try your best to deal.

>what is brain chemistry
>>29817705
No, you are wrong. Labeling is a step in the right direction. It says the problem with you, here is its name, here is how it manifests, and here is how similar individuals have coped with it. Just 'trying to fucking deal with it' is retarded. Do you think a doctor sees cancer and says 'welp, no sense labeling it, lots just try a totally random treatment method and hope for the best. Bleach enemas and daily walks for a month and let's see how it responds'? No, the doctor not only calls it cancer, he goes all autistic and even labeling the cancer as a specific type, then treating it based on the type of cancer it is. Mental illness is nothing special. It is a disease that can be treated like any other. Like it or not the patient plays a very big core in treatment. Compliance with treatment course is essential for a good outcome.
>>29817750
you don't actually think thats a good argument do you?
>>29817750
Don't be stupid, anon. Viruses like that are actual, separate things. They're visible, recognisable and, in some cases, actual living organisms.
>>29817798
>he is too much of a fuccboi to alter his own behavioral patterns
>thinks neurological activity is immutable and cannot be willingly changed
nice argument lmao
Yeah I've got it. Was diagnosed about 3 years ago. Some of the symptoms like the destructive behaviour, mood swings and bouts of severe depression are the one I suffer with the most.
Since finding out I had it I try to keep myself closed away so no-one has to deal with my shit
>>29817820
It seems good to me. The results speak for themselves. It's better to have aids and treat hiv than be fat in terms of life expectancy. Fatness is a mental illness because no sane person would ever get fat, much less stay fan.
>>29814647
basically, yeah. if a woman shows any interest in me I immediately get cold inside. it comes from almost zero self-esteem (I know I'm worthless so if they want me that means that they can't get anyone better)
>>29817506

I swear to god this is whats wrong with me, but i resist sex from women, i like them then i hate them but i always cut them off or outright refuse so idk, and my closest friends its pretty stable, but outside of those two people everyone else is on my swing list.

>>29812966
ive become ~80% positive i have BPD . ive been having a shitload of relationship problems that are textbooks descriptions of how some BPD's act in relationships. im constantly jealous/paranoid/have abandonment fears. crazy "mood swings" (basically me overreacting over something small as fuck, and then when im calmed down i realized how fucked i was.) but ive been diagnosed with ADHD (hence impulsive/compulsiveness) and i had a gf that cheated on me when i was young.... so it may just be that?
Either way I feel fucked up. I feel so fucking broken right now. I started drinking every night to dull the painful thoughts I get about my gf/our relationship. I tried smoking too but it only makes it worse. I can tell 100%, (BPD-paranoid aside) that my gf is slipping more and more away from me. I know I'm ruining everything. I'm fucking it up all the time.
The thing I hate most is how I'm SOOOO fucking invested in her. Why does she have so much power over my emotions? Why do I get so depressed over this shit? I've known people that have went through multiple relationships and I don't understand how... I get fucking destroyed after every single one. I think about her/us all day, every day, trying to figure out "what exactly is wrong here/where am i fucking up/can i fix this/how do i get over it".
if you have BPD and haven't had a gf yet...prepare.

Carbamazepine. Life saver.
Also citalopram, and clonazepam for unbearable rage and/or sadness. I'm currently having problems coping with recent painful life events, I've been awfully depressed for a while and I hope it goes away.
BPD is a shitty illness to have, man.
>>29814499
Yes, but rare.
I live a pretty normal life, but god was I an insufferable burden back in the day.
Basically if someone is on meds and checkups everything should be fine.
>>29812966
this is unfixable isn't it? So if i think i have it theres no point in seeing a therapist since i dont want drugs. Oh well, i always knew i was too crazy for relationships
