I have Borderline Personality Disorder, I prefer the name (emotional unstable personality disorder). Not too sure what meds you are on but I would probably get some lactulose (it is a natural sugar) it holds fluid in the bowel so is a stool softener. You can buy it at any pharmacy without a prescription.
If you want advice about the BPD, BPD world is a good site I have been told it explains it quite good. I got diagnosed about 6 years ago.

Increase your fiber intake (salads, whole grains, fruit, green veggies, high fiber cereals) and drink a lot of water, too. I would get some Colace stool softener. It's available without a prescription. Take 1 or 2 a day. It just helps put water into your intestines, and it will come out easier...and it won't give you those terrible cramps that some laxatives can give you.

I was diagnosed with BPD but to be honest with you, I dont believe in it. Borderline means you are borderline between psychotic and neurotic. To me, that means that they dont know what your problem is, and there is no 'text book' little box they can put us in so they stick a make shift lable on us that means absolutely nothing. I hope I didnt offend you, I know your issues are real, i just dont like that they take people and put them into a nice little box and call it a diagnosis. As for the laxatives, you shouldnt take them for more than a week. If you still can't go, you can get a Fleet enema from the pharmacy (doesnt have to be fleet just any brand) If that doesnt work, then you need to see a doctor about it. Good luck, I hope things improve for you.

Try a cereal called UncleSam. It is a laxative cereal that doesn't taste to bad. Been around forever.

Everyone has disorders i would know. I once thought i was receiving death threats from people of the future. Meds dont help you your a test subject. you just need to talk to yourself

Yes three a day is OK. But try to eat something that will help you go.
