First, I am not trying to get everyone to like me here so this is not why I m upset. But I am upset because I seem to offend every person I work with. even 'friends' (except my best friends) get offended eventually.

I try not to care about whether people like me, but at work this is devastating because I've offended even people who are above me and Im looking for another job right now

Maybe I am imagining things and they are not as petty and offended as I think they are but their actions that continue tell me otherwise.

I don't feel like talking to anyone or socialising anymore. My anxiety like morning-wakening and getting breathless seems to be coming back after an absence of half a year.

Friends tell me Im a perfectionist and I try to force every1 to do things my way. I feel uneasy doing that knowing this offends but I have to do what I think is right, isn't? I'll feel even more uneasy if I don't correct what is wrong. I just can't 'let go'.

Help? Advice?

I'm looking to hear about other people's strategies for either supporting a borderline person or caring for yourself and dealing with the manipulation and blame that are a part of the disorder. I really need to hear from someone caring for a bpd that understands some of the difficulties and key concerns for both the bpd and the carer. I would love to hear about personal experiences. Any help would be appreciated.

What's the difference between regular depression and major depression? What determines if you are just depressed or majorly depressed? Thanks!

This is going to sound like a strange question but my friend Ed says he is always horny and when he isnt getting in womens panties, he constantly masturbates. I am like so what? He then says sometimes when he drives by the high school and middle school in his neighborhood, he checks out the girls and then goes home and masturbates to them. He says many have cute little butts. I told him it was too much info. But in reality, should I talk to him or does he need help or is this type of fantasy ok?

I think....
sometimes I get the urge to get revenge at bullies and people who have hurt me in the past. Sometimes I get the urge to make amends with my enemies (but i know I don't know if they would agree). Sometimes, I think life is just way too short to worry.

Everyone's mom is a little crazy, but I'm pretty sure mine has something diagnosable. I'm not here because I want to diagnose it myself, but because I don't know who to tell.

I'm sixteen years old, and I live with my fifty year old mother. She has said and done things that truly, truly scare me. I'm sure that someone could help her through medication or therapy or something, but I don't know how to go about getting her this help. She's an adult, and I'm still a child... How am I supposed to tell her that she should seek professional help? She won't even admit to having sleep apnea. Is it even possible to get an adult help against their will?

Totally hypothetical. But what would you do if you saw someone with cuts on there wrists, but you weren't very familar with this person? Say they served you at a shop, or was a friend of a friend? What would be your thoughts? Have you experienced this?

Here is my symptoms can you see if you can figure out my problem? I failed my freshman year in high school, I got to college and I said I was not going to make the same mistake. Got there and sort of took advantage of my freedom. I barely went to class because I never really learned I usually would have to take the book and learn it on my own. I would wait to the last minute to do stuff because I liked the adrenaline rush and simply because the material would be fresh on my mind if I were to study like a day before the test. But doing it this way caused me to fail even though I felt confident that I wouldnt. And when I try to start studying early I never can because it bores me and I usually wind up doing something else. I try to change but I can't. I need any help I can get to change this because I don't want to be a failure and let my family down.

I understand that its beneficial for people who need medication. The reason I ask is that my Mum reads a lot of psychology books and has a very good understanding of various psychomatic ailments, but I think because she knows so much about such illnesses and disorders she has tried to "label" me and my siblings in a sort of "psychological hyprochondriac" kind of way. I was diagnosed with depression and as having Aspergers syndrome when I was 10 and I think the Seroxat I was on for ten years may have caused further problems. Also, my brother is 9 and she has successfully had him diagnosed for Aspergers Syndrome and Attention Deficity Hyperactivity Disorder - as far as I'm concerned has is a perfectly normal 9 year old. I'm just worried that my brother will grow up into the personality that she's labelled him as like I did.
I am being ungrateful for my Mum's help or do you think ignorance can be bliss with these sort of things?

Hes good to me but when it comes to me being upset and sometimes even breaking down and crying he dosnt care and he'll begain to make fun of me and say that I get upset too much, when I really upset beacuse of him. If he wants something and Im doing something for myself at the molment if I dont stop what Im doing for him then he yells and makes me feel bad. ANd when it seems that we have something worked out that was a problem its back to the same thing again beacuse of him, the reasion I know its not me is beacuse Ive watched it over and over gain.

A close friend of mine hasn't been himself for a very long time. We have talked about it and he admits that he is depressed, but he dosen't want help and he dosen't want to help him self. But I am worried about him, and I don't know what to do for him. I am also worried that if I spend to much time with him some of his feelings will rub off on me. How can I help someone like this, and not run the risk of getting to hurt.

Everytime I take them I experience memory loss..such as things seem very foggy when I refer back to them. And sometimes at worst I can't remember anything I said.

I have friends that abuse them and start to steal things and sometimes engage in self mutalation.

Does this only happen when they are over-dosed?

Any information helpful

Beauty can be a blessing and a curse, But does the blessing out wieght the curse? It's must be diffulcut knowing that people are always trying to get close to you, or in your circle with the agenda of trying to get under the sheets with you constantly male and female. Manipulating and using your family friends just for a chance of getting close to you. That has to get old at a certain point people always looking at you telling you how good looking you are admiring your face even when you don't feel good and want to turn it off but can't.

I'm semi-retired (old enough to know better) & I have other things that I need to do. I cut back on watching TV so I would have more time for housework & then I ended up being on the computer way more than I watched TV! I need to move around, not sitting for so long. My husband is no help -- he's on his computer more than I am on mine! Thanks.

How can you relax during a emotional crisis...that is if this is what I'm experiencing right now?...when you lose some control over what you say and your actions (without becoming physically aggressive) and you start shouting things out some of which are random and some of which are to do with what is bothering you. I know it sounds whack but I don't think it's that uncommon either and yes I do plan on seeing a therapist soon but how can I relax for now?

I am convinced that my ex-wife has BPD. One of the many things she does besides yelling like crazy causing chaos with our children etc..is her unbelievable lie's she tells. Lie's that with a little checking out become apparent she lied. She has accussed me of all types of physical abuse and even accussed our daughter of being a drug dealer and a lesbian. I know that one of the symtoms of BPD is lying (outragous lie's) I could go on and on but my questions is??


Do people who suffer from BPD know that they are lying??

I normally go to bed at 2 - 3 in the morning. and use to take 5 hour long naps after school. Well the past 2 days I haven't slept, haven't taken naps or anything. My eyes are looking darker, like I'm wearing eyeliner. I couldn't get to sleep the past 2 nights, I got about 2 hours of sleep saturday nigh thats all. Tried taking a nap after school today couldn't fall asleep. The nights I spent maybe an hour or 2 trying to get to sleep and i just end up watching tv the rest of the night.

I've felt like passing out all day, feel dizzy, still can't fall asleep. Stayed after school with my friend today like 2 extra hours, REALLY tired from that, couldn't seem to fall asleep.

What's wrong?
