Hi asked in HealthMental Health · 8 years ago

TEEN BORDERLINE PD? Been through + seen all abuse + other things. Not enough room 4 more detail?

Im 15

1. Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment.

WHENEVER I FEEL LIKE SOMEONE I INSTANTLY WANT TO BECOME MORE CLOSE WITH IS DISTANSING THEMSELVES FROM ME, I'll do anything for them and with friends constantly invite them to places. I have a fear of being left with no one.

2&3. A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation. This is called "splitting."

Identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self.

I can and so instantly go from loving to hating people, usually by little things but seem big to me. It causes lots of fights and its not something I can control. I also do it to myself. When I believe I'm bad, I feel like I should kill myself, I also think I'm very fat during this and usually starve myself. The longest the starving and constant hate for myself went on was about a month, but usually only lasts a couple of days before I switch back to thinking I'm okay, or just go normal.

4. Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating).

I've gone out and gotten drunk a few times just to escape

5. Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior.

I self harm regularly, burn, cut, scratch. Have had one suicide attempt, but have gone to again plenty of times.

6.Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days)

YES

.7.Chronic feelings of emptiness.

YES

8.Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights).

Get angry easy, been in P.fights

9.stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms.

TAKE KNIFES TO BED SOMETIMES SO PARANOID, diagnosed with a dissociative

    Yep sounds like me. I have been diagonosed with bipolar and borderline pd. honestly I have been through a lot too way too much to put here. I have tried a lot of ways to fix myself but nothing seems to work. Right now I am working with a therapist and a medication doctor. I am not saying medication is the answer to everything but at least through my experience it has helped and talking to someone has helped too I also am going to try to go to a small therapy group. Try to at least go to a therapist and explain how you feel. You need to be completely open and honest or it won't work. Also try finding someone in your life family or friend who you can rely on if the struggle gets too hard explain how you feel and ask them to talk to you when you need to. Also make sure you don't overuse this line of help people who want to help don't want to have rescue you every 5 min. Also you have to want to change and want to get better. Hopes this helps good luck
