Every day my mood changes drasticlly, i always argue with someone in my life. i cry alot and i have anger fits, like punching people or something. my appetite changes randomly so my whole system is off. i'm very moody, my moods change from being really depressed, then in a couple of minutes or hours i become angry or very excited(for no reason). it confuses everyone around me and it also confuses myself. i'm always tired, can't get up for school or anything, but i wake up in the middle of the night to eat. my weight changes alot. i pig out on certain food and then get sick of it after i ate it all. i've been additced to alchol, over the counter pills and stuff. i just need help becuase no one understands me (that i know of). i say that i don't mean to people and then i feel really stupid to go back to say to them that i was sorry. I NEED HELP!!

Hi. I myself also have BPD. I was diagnosed withit about seven years ago. Have you tried a group called DBT . The real name for it is Dilectical Behavioral Therapy. I know some theripists know where there are some of these grops located in there areas. It really helped me. I still have problems though. Mine is more the push away stuff, and alot of the moodyness. people really dont know how to take me and i dont know how to take me half the time either. It is a hard illness that confuses people from one min to the next. the classes are very helpful though.

Poetgirl7...'s answer is brilliant. The TARA website is excellent.
"I wouldn't join a club who had me as a member," comic Groucho Marx once joked. Yet, for many who have a mental illness, group identity is the key to empowerment and overcoming self-stigma.
The one thing which I found was incredibly helpful was to find someone either with BPD or who knows about it, who you can call on for one-to-one advocacy and support, even if it just means a chat.
The internet and support groups are fantastic resources, as is a good therapist and appropriate meds, but a buddy you can relate to face to face is priceless. I know - I offer this kind of advocacy and support as a volunteer in Australia.
The real tragedy is of course, that government's don't like funding such local, community based support services.

How do you know you have Boarderline Personality Disorder?
I have it & I too have the mood swings - no anger fits, no hitting
things or people.
I have to say that with your description, you sound like you are
Bipolar to me... Your waking up during the night to eat - you are
eating to make yourself feel better. Let's face it - we all do that.
I too, feel the fatigue. Most with BPD are also cutters - do you
also have that as well? Maybe if you gave a little more info I
could tell you more?? think about it....

I have that diagnosis and co-run an email support group for people with bpd and/or bipolar. Having the support of people who understand is priceless. My group is on yahoogroups and you are welcome to join. There are also a lot of other groups out there. Here are some websites for more info on bpd. This is a very hard thing to deal with having, it's confusing and painful.
