No. What exactly is it?

yeah, a friend of mine has it. we had rough times over the last 8 years but managed to stay friends i love her!

bs

My ex had it. But he feels like he wasn't really loved by his parents growing up so it makes plenty of sense

I knew someone with it and he had it really really bad. It was my old roommate so I really couldn't get away from him and he was really awful to me. I helped him a lot but he was so insecure that he didn't like accepting help and he was EXTREMELY obsessed with me that he would push away other people from me just so he could have me all to himself because he was incredibly jealous and was always paranoid someone would take me from him. He would also always pretend we were dating and it was just creepy. I don't have any communication with him anymore but I hope he gets help since this has apparently been happening since he was 14 at least and now that he's 19 it's really bad. I think he has other personality disorders though and not just BPD. He had a lot of issues.

I hope you're doing ok though and you don't let it control your life like this person I knew.

no i have ocd

I think I have a mild form of it but could never gather up the courage to actually go speak to a specialist lmao.

.

I don't know. I know I have something though.

My ex had it, so I had to keep up with all of the above. It wasn't easy everyday... :-/

My friend's mom has it (she got diagnosed) but has never done anything about it and it's caused a LOT of trouble in all of our lives. How would you go about suggesting someone seeks treatment?

Tbh I have no idea. I'm the only person I know with this, and I'm pretty open to getting treatment. Maybe you or your friend could try and talk to a therapist who has experience with BPD? Then you could talk about ways you could get her to seek treatment.

One of my best friends has it. It's not actually that hard to manage being helpful to and supportive of someone who has it once you get how it works, so I'm a bit upset about all the people who I've heard say that it costs them friends. What kind of people were those "friends" in he first place?

What do you take for it?
