Borderline Personality Disorder Questions
I once thought my boyfriend was bipolar due to his severe highs and lows, but then I did some research and due to the fact that his highs and lows and all are mixed up allthroughout the day, I figure he's more than likely BPD. I'd really appreciate it if someone who has bpd could msg me as I have questions... I've read up all on it but I'd like to have an actual conversation with someone with this personality disorder. Thanks a bunch!

Welcome to the Forum Shna89.
I think this thread may go un-answered, as your requesting only someone who has it to talk to you
Why not pose those questions on your thread?
There may also be people here that have a partner that has BPD, or a friend and can confirm or not, some of those questions you have.

Borderline personality disorder.. try again..
Well my last thread was probably too specific. I'm interested in speaking with someone who either has or is close to someone who has BPD as I have read about it but it's different when you see it first hand. For instance, one of the charactoristics is cheating, is that always so? Lies, things like that. I know the disorder doesn't make a person a bad person, I'm in love with someone I strongly believe is suffering from it and I see how hard it is on him, as it is on me. I'd just like to speak with someone who could elaborate for me and possibly support me through this. Thanks alot.

Could you give some more specifics on how this person acts? It's tricky to diagnose someone on your own without professional help... could it be that he's just a cheater/lier without having a disorder?
Only a professional psychologist or psychiatrist can make this diagnosis. There is still type 1 and 2 BPD to distinguish between and the frequency of this illness is low so again it takes a professional opinion to categorize the symptoms, and not the work of wiki and google.
There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.
He hasn't cheated and I wouldn't call him a liar. I just know those are some of the charactoristics of the disorder. I've read up on it alot and he seems to have lots of signs. Many highs and lows, feels many emotions at a time etc. I'd just like to speak to others who have personal experiance.

Plenty of people have issues that lead to lying, cheating, and up-and-down moods. They don't necessarily have a disorder or a chemical imbalance. Try working with the one you love concerning his poor behavior, maybe try to get him into counseling. There, they can get down to a diagnosis and if there's not one to make, just help him work through those issues.
But please - if you suspect someone has a mental illness that renders them irresponsible for their actions - keep any children you have away from them and do not have children with them until they have their symptoms in check. Children should not be subjected to the authority of anybody who doesn't have control over their own actions. Nobody should, actually, but adults have the ability to make a choice whether they associate with someone or not - children don't.

Was married for 9 years to a man with BPD. It is a miserable experience. Little is right do not even consider bringing kids into that situation. I didn't learn about the disorder until we were in counseling while ending the marriage, got myself and kids out, have spent a fortune keeping my kids away from him. It needs a professional to diagnose. They are very unpredictable and unstable.

Hi,
My Cousin is Bipolar. It's not just I am going you to write a few questions and this is it. I agree with the person who said he needs professional to diagnose. When you get sure then it easier to discuss things. I can suggest you a nice book but you are not sure. You can find in there how to be supportive and stuff. But maybe rather at first get him somehow to go to see therapist.

Looking forward to hearing from you at some stage again to see how it goes.
