My borderline personality disorder

[glowquark]

After fifteen years of being in a relationship with my partner we have finally realized he has BPD. I recognize the same tender hearted sweetness in you. Thank you for being so brave and honest. It does help others to understand.

Thank you for posting this video. I can't tell you how much it helps me understand my son who has BPD and my sister who has it as well.

[DevilDogGR]

Hope your doing ok and keeping up with your meds and therapy  :-)

[indieflickfan]

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this incredibly brave post. I too am dealing with BPD and it's quite a journey. Your story is very insightful and encouraging--it's great to know that you're not alone in something that's very overwhelming. Thanks again.

You did it great... I'm a 20 year old gay guy too, also with BPD. Currently I'm hospitalized at an open clinic in Middelburg, Holland.

a psychiatrist diagnoses me with bpd too and i'ts really hard to live with that

love this video. you explane it good

by the way,i love your accent

[reddkell]

Dude, there is no need to apologize for your accent or sexuality. I'm a straight American male with BPD who only speaks English and I admire the strength you have showed by posting this video. Thank you and I hope we all can overcome this.

Hello from Atlanta! I am also a twenty-five year old gay male. Though I have been diagnosed with Avoidant Personality Disorder I share many common characteristics with sufferers of BPD (impulsivity, anxiety, depression, suicidal behavior, etc..). It's very brave of you to speak publically about your condition and I wish you the best! Cheers :-)

I want to be your friend...I have BPD and I just want to run away from it, I feel alone...

[cat56111]

you are stronger then you think.. you are a lovely person, and you will get through this, i also have bpd.. so i do understand how you feel regards anne-marie ;)

[manneianevski]

I dunno if I'm that strong...

In fact, sometimes I have the feeling that my "weakness" is also my strenght... that's kinda paradoxal.

There's still so many things that I don't understand about myself, but I try to do the necessary to be happy.

No one on earth borned to be unhappy :)

I can relate on some level what you are going throught, I have not been diagnosed with BPD but I exhibit symptoms of the disorder, most of my life has been a total nightmare, one of the worse things is feeling like you are alone, I am a recently single gay black guy in NYC, and never felt so alone, trust, I can relate to some of your pain. All I read about is women with BPD it is conforting to see a man talk about the disoder. Please hang in there, you are going to be fine.

[manneianevski]

I'm glad to hear that you don't feel alone anymore by watching a video of a GUY who gets BPD :)

You are not alone. Even if you feel like so, then... just write me.

I know that it's not like we're living in the same neighboorhood, but all I can do is to bring you my support by distance.

Thank you. You're a real soldier. I am the same way, but have not been diagnosed. I wish you the best of luck, and take care of yourself.

[singerCindyAnne]

ton anglais e mieux che mon francais!!! :-) i just want to say that what you did was VERY BRAVE... i am Borderline but i do not self-mutilate (i hurt myself other ways...) i was shocked to hear your news, but i hope you are getting help.you NEED to be on medication.believe me;i tried for YEARS without but i cannot keep going without the RIGHT HELP.try all the doctors u can till you find the RIGHT one.you will know when the medication helps u feel even a little "normal" and happy.make the effort!

[manneianevski]

Thanks a lot for this comment, it really help me :)

And that's what i was looking for by making this video: being contacted by person like me to know what should I have to do.

I thought for so many years that I could "survive" without medication, trying to contol it myself, but you're right: I need a treatment and I want to have a normal life.

But I can't deny the fact that this disorder helped me to find out the real nature of my so called friends...

Thanks again for theses touching words :)
