Ask a MALE with Borderline Personality Disorder anything.

do you know when you're acting inappropriately in social situations?

ITT; You ask a normal person anything.

why did you get a woman's disorder?

Could you tell me about what it actually is? I think I know a girl with it; but reading about it I am confused.

do you know when you're acting inappropriately in social situations?

Yes of course. It's not like I'm an asspie or anything.

ALL PEOPLE ARE BDP

Is this diagnosed or you just say you have it after reading wikipedia?

Do your personalities have to deal with border patrol often?

why did you get a woman's disorder?

Learned behavior with a hint of genetic predisposition thanks to my dad. My mother is also very manipulative.

Could you tell me about what it actually is? I think I know a girl with it; but reading about it I am confused.

You can read all of the symptoms on wikipedia or something, but the ones that get me the most are the love-hate dynamic and the feeling of emptiness.

Is this diagnosed or you just say you have it after reading wikipedia?

Well of course I read it off wikipedia! What kind of level-headed person do you think I am? But, in all honestly, I really am going to stop lying to my shrink and stop putting on my facade. I'll probably end up BAWWWWWWWWWWWing in his office like a woman, but I really need to get over this sh*t before it starts to kill me.

I'm so manipulative that I became part of the border patrol.

Nobody loves you.

What is a higgs-boson?

Alright, well I am going to outline a number of situations. You are to express your reactions as quickly as possible. You will be timed of course..
You are given a calf skin wallet.

You must answer quickly...

I'm fairly certain I was probably molested as a child, so I ended up repressing the sh*t out of it until I did shrooms. Needless to say, it was a goddamn nightmare when I unleashed that memory. Some of my shrinks said I was bipolar because I feel elated or sadness, but mostly nothing.

do you really think you have a 'disorder'?

What is a higgs-boson?

Technically speaking, it's an invisible particle the size of a bowling ball that gives matter mass.

Raw leather irks me. I don't like that smell.

I'm a goddamn mess bro, I'm trying to fix it and get on with my life.

Does weed help with BPD?

OH THAT'S RARE AND SUCKS

Does weed help with BPD?

I can't say for certain because I'm not everyone with BDP, nor can I do any sort of large scale double-blind studies. However, I can say that without weed I would have never introspected far enough to come to this realization. Don't get me wrong though, it was mostly psychological and even physical pain.

you're definitely a replicant. I must retire you now.

Sorry, this should seem really obvious, but DON'T LIE TO YOUR SHRINK!
Being honest is the only way for you to truly recognize your destructive behaviour and also the only way to have a hope of curing it. People with BPD have unstable relationships, and having one based off at least honesty is a good place to start fixing that.
Also, treatment is most likely going to be longterm - if you truly have BPD (which could itself be unlikely), this probably isn't something that randomly came on. Treatment will be a major lifestyle and personality change.
Nonetheless, this Anon wishes you the best of luck with it.

I guess I repulsed the clinical psychologist. F**K.
I wonder what my real one will say?

Thanks. I know it's going to be actual therapy and honesty, rather than lies and medication.

Tell more about this 'emptiness' you feel. I'm clinically depressed myself and I've pretty much lost all my emotions. I can't cry and I don't really care about anything anymore. Alcohol is the only thing that helps me fill this void.
Is it similar or something totally else?

Actually,

IS the Clinical Psychologist (which is me). Just be careful with self-diagnosing yourself - emptiness and love/hate dynamics are seen in a lot of other disorders as well. People with BPD typically have at least one suicide attempt under the belt, and the biggest problem is typically *big* problems with abandonment (expressed through unstable relationships, the suicide attempts, etcetera). Your biggest complaints aren't just solo to BPD.
This, of course, doesn't necessarily mean you DON'T have it (not a licensed *armchair* psychologist, haha) - obviously your therapist will be of better help. Take the initiative and book an appointment tomorrow (or soon) - if you want change you have to seize the day to grab it.

I feel the apathy and emptiness that a depressed person would feel. However, that is what I feel all the time (without the sadness). I feel nothing at all, but sometimes I feel incredibly strong emotions like sadness, rage, hatred, anger, and elation. It's almost always a negative emotion, but goddamn-- once you get that elation you're a god.

I guess I've been pretty cruel to my girlfriend. I tried so hard to push her away because I felt like she'd hate me for who I am, but she's still with me for reasons I don't understand. Suicide attempt is a go though.

Elation usually not BPD - Bipolar II Disorder?

Depression is a terrible thing, and anhedonia (the inability to experience pleasure or joy) is one of the worst parts - as well as the feeling of utter hopelessness and despair. Feeling like your life is a hellhole is no way to live, but trying to drown out the problem in alcohol won't help you in the long run. Try to isolate some reasons why you feel so hopeless and see if even if just one of them can be improved.

Uhh, my first statement might need to be revised. That actually does point towards BPD (either way, I feel for you).
