I think being able to trust is something that you need to work at yourself— I can’t tell you how to do it. Questions? Comments?

themomentsbetween asked: I should have just put all the information here, but the short-term residential is also at McLean Hospital and is called the Hill Center. And again, I could not speak more highly of the program, and I know people have gotten out of network coverage for them!

Also, isn't Linehan from the Northwest? Seattle or something? I think there is a LOT of DBT out there because of that....

I know some people on our FB page are family members and possibly adult kids of someone with BPD (http://facebook.com/ontheborderline.org). I will look for some more— if you could email me at contact@ontheborderline.org I will email you what I find (I promise I will not disclose your email address to anyone). Questions? Comments?

Questions
Some of our “followers” and “fans” have asked us for help locating DBT treatment, and I’m hoping some of you will know the answers! Here’s what they asked: “Does anyone know of any DBT training courses currently available in the UK?” “Does anyone know of a ‘live in’ treatment facility that deals with depression, BPD and perhaps...

espadainmycloset-deactivated201 asked: My family has found about the cutting. And I think they suspect me of having borderline disorder. SHIT I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I KNOW I probably have it, positive in fact, but I don't know! I don't people to know about this! It's not something you can just say 'Ok' about!

meeeoooww: This part is so accurate omg why hasn’t anyone else been able to say it like this: “People with BPD are not ‘bad’. The anger and rejection that people with BPD display mean they are sometimes labelled as ‘bad,‘ ‘manipulative’ or ’attention-seeking’. While things they do may at times lead to confusion, distress or inconvenience for other people, it should be remembered that this...

publictruths asked: Is it possible for someone to have Borderline Personality Disorder, to posses all characterists and tendancies, but not attempt or even think about suicide? And are there other methods of "self-harm" (besides the obvious, such as cutting, drug/alcohol abuse, attempted suicide) that one could be blind to?

awkwardpandaisawkward asked: I am a BPD diagnosee of about 10 years (they called it "hyper-manic depression" back in my day)... I found your blog in researching tumblr for more BPD blogs to follow, but realized through my research that following those blogs would probably be worse for me in the long run (too many triggers!).

Anyways, I am currently working on a book for people who suffer from BPD, a...

Hey, I’m not sure if anyone’s heard of this website: http://moodgym.anu.edu.au/welcome but it’s helped me a lot with recognising warped thoughts. It’s free, so it can’t hurt to try it right? :) (Submitted by sparkle-sprinkle)

themomentsbetween asked: The DBT interview you just linked to was really interesting. It's so rare that you find information on the actual results of DBT and not just what it is composed of.

I've had a lot of DBT and found it incredibly helpful, but reading the interview challenged me to actually identify the specific things I have gotten from it. I realized I've never stopped to think about...

Dissociation in Borderline Personality Disorder →
Dissociation is a common experience for people with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Do you sometimes feel as if you have “zoned out?” Do you have times when you feel “unreal” or when things around you look strange or unfamiliar? Do you sometimes lose periods of time, or have chunks of the day that you do not remember? Do these experiences usually happen when you are...

"I'm Not Sick, I Have an Illness!" →
“…I contend that there is an even greater stigma that an individual with a mental illness must address, the stigma and limitations which he/she places on himself/herself as the result of this diagnosis.  Many individuals, whether they are newly diagnosed or one who has battled mental illness for years, allow their mental illness to be the center of their identity. It is the...

A New Angle on Emotional Instability in BPD →

voldemortandco asked: Okay, so I saw people were doing these little personality test things that tell you if you have a disorder or not. Thinking it was harmless I took one and it showed very high results of Borderline Disorder and this other one called histrionic. Also high schizotypal results. I'm kinda scared that these might be true but I'm not sure if it's accurate or not?

Impulsive Behavior and BPD →
Are you someone who tends to take action without thinking through the consequences? Do hasty decisions often get you into trouble? Do you often act based on your feelings in the moment rather than on a long-term plan? You may be struggling with impulsive behavior, one of the symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD).
