> <guess the BPD finally got to her!
> *OK, this is where my head turned around. I'm also dx BPD, as is my "short friend", as I'll call her. Now, if you start telling me that you are dx Bipolar I Disorder, PTSD, traits of OCPD, and have a nasty habit of getting naked in public then I refuse to post here anymore.I have BPD, OCD, Bipolar 3, panic attacks, and anxiety. But, no habit of getting nekkid in public! :)
Shorty SI's and has begun a nasty pill habit to cope. Her SI is at a point now that she cuts her face and neck even, she can't even conceal it anymore.
That is so sad. I'm so sorry to hear about that. I haven't ever cut my neck, but I imagine that is just awful to have to live with everyday. Is Shorty on any medications that help sedate her so she can talk to her therapist?
Usually she thrashes about her therapists office (if she lasts long enough through the appoinment) until he calls security to take her to the hospital.
Is the doctor for sure that she is Borderline? Could it be something else? Something else where rage is the main problem? Of course, she has the SI symptom, so it's hard to say.
>I just don't know what to do...But what's worse is her reason for everything she does is "I'm Borderline,"
Oh dear... She has to accept responsibility for the way she is acting. I know it's really difficult, but it's unlikely she will get better until she accepts responsibility for her actions.
>But, I'm not like her. I don't blame all of my actions of my dx.
Me neither! I try to identify when I am having a bpd related emotion, then I try to reason it out. (i.e. why it probaby isn't appropriate for the situation, etc.).
>I hate it when my friends say "Oh remember when you (_____), because you were manic?"
Tell me about it! I don't like it when my family says stuff like, wow, you sure were having some nasty mood swings a few days ago, you were like (insert description here). I know how I acted because I was there too, no one has to reiterate for me.
>Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm also impulsive. That's just Karen! Yes, I've made poor choices while manic, but I've also made poor choices while I was neither manic nor depressed!
Yes, I sometimes think my family blames my attitude on "whats wrong with me." Some days I act that way cause I'm cranky. It's not always a mood swing, just sometimes I'm tired...know what I mean?
> **I agree, I don't want to know too much about you either. You seem rather boring and uninteresting. And I can tell from your posts that you may very well have a foul body odor to boot.
Yes, I can tell from your posts that you probably wear mismatched clothes and don't wash your hair. :)
>In all seriousness, I have enjoyed your posts!
Well I'm glad somebody does! :) I enjoy yours too.
>And I am SOOOOOOOOO glad you are back! Don't ever go again,
:( Everyone has to take breaks sometimes! But I like being here. Last time I think I just got overwhelmed. That happens sometimes, right??
>I think that we seem to have a similar sense of humor, and I like that.
I definitely think we have a similar sense of humour because I always get your jokes and find your witty sarcasm hilarious! :)!!
>It's hard sometimes to tell if people "get" what I'm throwing out.
I get it.
> I realize I have some friends! :)
>
> *Well, I'm certainly not one of them. ICK! I wouldn't be seen with the likes of you, for crying out loud. :)And I could never be your friend cause you don't wash your hair... Hehehe!
I wish my post had more substance right now... I will try to post a better one soon. When I read your post, I was thinking of so many things I was going to write back, and now I can't remember any of them. Ahh!!!
