prevent you from becomeing well ? or block attempts at any benifit therapy might have on you? because them people know there behaviour towards you, their victimisation, the oppression or suppression, will ignite hostility and anger in me, therefor railroad my mission at trying to get therapy to learn to think a different way and deal with my issues....i have borderline personality disorder. i can be very sensitive and its very easy for people to affect my mood. stimulate it. and if people didnt want me to get well, they could behave maliciously towards me. knowing that it will cause me to think a certain way, bring out aggression, hinder my progress, reinforce paranoid feelings. thus make it hard for me to change and learn healthy new ways through therapy....does anyone know how to counteract this?

Do you want to get well? It is really up to you and is not about other people. other people cannot make you anything - they cannot make you happy or sad, angry or aggressive - it is all up to you. Most people are way to busy getting on with their own lives to even think about you never mind want you to not get well. You don't need any outside help to scupper any attempts to get better - you are doing well enough on your own.

Try to be around people who do not provoke a negative affect in you, of course your reactions to people could be part of your illness.
I would suggest a lot of self help techniques and therapies that will continuously keep you focussed on postive and enjoyable aspects of getting well.
Spend time doing stuff you enjoy - get aromatherapy treatments, reflexology treatments, attend relaxation classes, tai chi, yoga, go swimming, watch humour and the natural world or nature type programmes on the tv or get out some dvd's from the lending library.
Seek positive sites on the web.
In the end you are responsible for your own healing and your reaction to others.
Good Luck and Choose to Be Well

If a persons attitude towards therapy (In whatever form it takes) effects the outcome of the healing process.
If you feel positive, your recovery will be faster than if you have a negative attitude.
Doctors know this and that is why they some times prescibe a PLACEBO. A medicine with no healing qualities at all (But the patient is not told this) And because the patient perceives that the doctor is treating them they have a positive attitude and hence this aids in their recovery

There will always be people who are negative towards you. We cannot be liked by everyone. It is up to you how you learn to prevent your perception of others affecting your life in a negative way.
Therapy can be a long hard road, as I'm sure you are aware. Maybe you have to work more on yourself at the moment. I appreciate it is hard to do but it surely must be worth it.
You really cannot blame other people for your feelings, your reactions. Only you are responsible for those.
Wish you all the best: keep working on your journey.

It is great that you realize that you have a problem and you want to deal with it. But your problem is not "other people". Read again what you just wrote. Count how many times you mention other people making things to you. You speak as if people do all those things on purpose - they want to sabotage you, they want you to fail, they want to hinder your progress and so on. It sounds as if the whole world has turned their eyes and attention on you and are just waiting to see how they can hurt you more. But that is far from the truth - you have to accept the fact that other people are as self-obssessed as you are. They do not care to make another person's life miserable, they just want to make theirs more comfortable. People are natural egoists and they think they are the center of the universe. And if they've learned how to have relationships and to communicate, it is because they have to in order to survive in a world where you meed hundreds of people every day. So basically, forget about other people, it is not important what they think or how they act towards you because their main thought is always themselves, not YOU. Get to know yourself, concentrate on your strengths and build on them. And success with your therapy.
