Does anyone here have Borderline Personality Disorder?

Post Reply New Topic

My mother was diagnosed with it when I was a teenager. It really pissed her off. She was a nurse and was in hospital administration and she tried to get the Dr's privelages revoked. That didn't happen. I didn't know what it was, I just heard her talking about it on the phone and saw some papers she had from her Dr office chart.

She was really manipulate and did horrible things to me when I was no longer a source for her to get pity and admiration from her friends. When I got older and stopped letting her control me and make me sick or pretend I was sick all the time she decided I would be a "troubled teen" and made up all kinds of things about me to her friends. Of course I was a troubled teen but she never found out any of the actual stuff I did. She was satisfied making stuff up about me to get pity. She was pretty much that way to me for the rest of her life. We got along from time to time but I didn't put up with her s**t and she hated it. She had everybody fooled though. To this day people tell me how sorry they are that she's gone and what a wonderful, giving, caring, loving and supportive person she was. I just smile and say thank you cause nobody would ever believe the truth and it would just make me look bad. My husband knows and has seen her in full b***h mode and so have two of my kids but the other two, and the rest of the world are and will always be fooled about her. It's OK though. It's over now.

haven't seen you around recently, OOM. thanks for the honest and informative comment.

I'm not diagnosed with BPD but I suspect I would be if I sought out a diagnosis. You could say I was unofficially diagnosed with it by my psychiatrist because he suggested that being autistic and not the getting help I needed from a young age had "adversely affected" my personality. Whether it is BPD or some other type of personality disorder, it's definitely there because my self and family members have lived with it.

Yes... Full on disorder. Also Aspergers. It has ruined every relationship i have ever had.

Prior to Asperger's, I'd been (wrongly) diagnosed as Bipoloar, and now--according to the psychiatrist I have Borderline Personality Disorder.
