Bordeline Personality Disorder

I am doing this blog in the hopes of helping people with "BPD" and to help family and friends and those who do not have BPD to perhaps understand us better. Also to learn from others at the same time. I am 36 years old and I was diagnosed with BPD about 2 years ago. I am fortunate enough to be in a fantastic treatment center for 2 years and i know that depending on where people live, many places do not have treatment at all. I will be sharing VERY PERSONAL information because i think it is important people understand and in the hopes that my story can help someone who has felt the same or went through similar experiences, hopefully they can relate. I would like to share experiences and things I have learned in therapy and hear people's stories and experiences. Please do not self diagnose yourself if you find you have many of the symptoms of Borderline personality disorder. I also am not a doctor or therapist so everything I post is from my own experiences and what I have learned so far about BPD. Everyone is welcome to share their stories, offer tips and such but if anyone is disrespectful I will remove your posts. I hope this will be a way to inform and help people including myself. Thank you

Very powerful poem by Portia Nelson

BY Portia Nelson

i walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in
I am lost....I am helpless
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

I was down the same street.
THere is a deep hole in the sidewalk
i pretend i don't see it.
I fall in again
i can't believe i am in the same place.
But it isn't my fault
It still takes me a long time to get out.

I walk down the same street
Thre is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I see it there
I still fall in...it's a habit
My eyes are open.
I know where i am
It is my fault
I get out immediatly


I walk doesn the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it.

I walk down another street
