I have not “offically” been diagnosed with BPD. But, I have done a lot of reading on it and the following things match up with myself.

feelings of abandonment – real or imgined.

Relationships are a mess. Totally great or totaly suck – not much in between.

self harm and very low self esteem. feelings of worthlessness or generally devalued.

What they call impuslive behavior (binges, spending, food, sex, drugs). Basically being stupid. The stuff you do and right after you do it you wonder why the hell you would have done that.

self harm (cutting, burning, etc) and/or suicidal behavior

Terrible lows and huge swings (hi to low, low to high). Personally I go middle to VERY low. And stay there for extended periods.

I currently am labeled with severe depression and constantly have suicidal thoughts (at least a dozen attempts to date). I am on some meds – but personally I do not see any improvement. I think it is just a case that life sucks and you have to accept it.

Sorry it is not a very “happy” response. But that is my viewpoint.
