my counselor thought that i might had that, but i never got tested or actually diagnosed with it. i did get diagnosed with a mood disorder. i know its got to be hard for you never knowing how she's gonna act from one min to the next. when she is expressing anger you need to stay away! we can be very dangerous when angry! bpd also are self injurious people. (just in case you didn't know) i hope she is taking medicine for it, that should help alot. i myself was going crazy for bout 5 months, i got baker act and everything. i wouldn't take my medicine how i should cause i didn't want to believe anything was wrong with me. this isn't r&s group but i wanted to tell you that when i finally gave my life to God its like i was miraculously healed. this burden was lifted off me. i dont know where she stands with God but i know when i finally broke down to him my mind hasnt gone crazy on me since. (but i had the faith He would heal me, and that makes a big difference) i hope everything works out for the both of you but this kind of disorder the other person has to be a STRONG person to deal with them. good luck

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is defined within psychiatry, and some other fields, as a disorder characterized primarily by emotional dysregulation, extreme "black and white" thinking in some areas, and disrupted relationships. The name originated with the idea that individuals exhibiting this type of behavior were on the "borderline" between neurosis and psychosis. This idea has since fallen out of favor, but the name remains in use, as noted in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders; the ICD-10 has an equivalent called Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder, borderline type. There is currently some discussion by the American Psychiatric Association about changing their name for the disorder to Emotional Dysregulatory Disorder, or Emotional Dysregulation Disorder in the next version of the DSM. Psychiatrists and some other mental health professionals describe Borderline personality disorder as a serious disorder characterized by pervasive instability in mood, interpersonal relationships, self-image, identity, and behavior. This instability often disrupts family and work life, long-term planning, and the individual's sense of self. The majority of those diagnosed with this disorder appear to have been individuals abused or traumatized during childhood.

The best shot is the latest in psychology that avg psychiatrists aren't up on, to add to therapy. I assume she's getting care and meds. I have some stuff under by profile for hurting people. I hope it helps and I would be glad to help with the material. Your gonna need it too. Sometimes people thing their emotions are them when they only have emotions, and thoughts. It's a healthy disassociation to stand back from your emotions and is actually the normal state if you do it right. You need a lot of information and also it is dangerous for you.

Dialectical behaviour therapy along with interpersonal therapy has been proven to be effective in this disorder. There are many different kinds of borderlines so a competent diagnoses must be sought. Some forms can be dangerous and life sucking to their friends and family.

I can do anything with a person who has a borderline personality. Does she like to play 'air-guitar' uncontrollably? Buy tickets for a Christian Death Metal concert >> get seats close to the stage. If she starts to use drugs, be proactive! Start a MOSH pit!

If this person is seriously ill with this, then, it is time for counseling, and probably some medication. If this person refuses to take care of this problem, it may be best to put some distance between you.........physcially distant.

Try to encourage him/her to seek professional help. Many loved ones have a tendancy to look the other way because they do not know how to deal with someone that suffers from a mental illness.
