Having BPD is not a life sentence and can be reversed, but it takes time and usually intensive therapy. The first thing you have to admit to yourself is that it is present and acknowledges that it is trying to control your life.

 

The tendencies of needing to be the center of attention, causing drama where none existed and willing to go to great lengths such as an overdose that was never intended it to cause lose of life is all part of the illness.

 

You can put a stop to a lot of this just by being aware that you are the catalyst in the majority of it. What you want and need is positive attention and not people feeling sorry for you for what you just did by overdosing on just enough meds…, you know the amount to get a ticket to the hospital, and that desired attention from people.

 

Most BPD’s do not spend too much time thinking of them and tend to wrap their lives up the *** of others causing tremendous amount havoc. It tends to be a love hate relationship with everyone around you meaning either they are with you or your enemy…no middle ground.

 

The answer lies from within and what you really think about yourself.  Get yourself in with a decent BPD therapist that can help you work through the web of crap and show you that life does go on and doesn’t need to revolve around you all the time in order for your comfort level to be achieved.

 

AKA… normal people tend to hate drama with a passion and will gradually move away from it when it becomes the norm. If you do not get a handle on it, you will end up sitting by yourself. The old saying about crying wolf too often….

hey eric, you know when i overdosed it was not attention seeking, i almost died and evey intention on taking my life. i have not been hopitalized since i was a kid. from the info i looked up, is bpd have a higher rate of intentioal suicide, then any other disorder/mental illnesss and with bpd you almost always have ather mental illness, depression and bipolar 2 disorder freakently accompany this disorder. i dont have every symptom of bpd, just some, like the going to extreams to avoid real rejection and i have a hard time with relationships because i assually dont trust people and i know i can end up hurting them when i fall into depression. the only time i caused drama is when i felt like i was being rejected and i am not even ever around drama. i am actully a loner, in meaning i have no/few friends and i like it that way and that has nothing to do with running them off with drama other than that. i aviod it, hate it. i think you are trying to put bpd in a box, not everyone has all the same symptoms of this disorder and they think i have just developed this mental illness, from living with years of untreated PTSD. before six months ago. i would have never been diagnosed this, i have never had so many symptoms of bpd. as of now it has started to affect my life so my doc said they were going to not formaly diagnose me with bpd, i am missing to many symptoms to  be properly diagnosed, but i will do DBT group treatment for bpd, to avoid developing the other symptoms and makeing it a lasting illness, my doc said getting the knowlege and treatment will help. my therapist is the one that believes i have bpd, i have only worked with her for six mo, the same time i started to act like i have bpd. my curent diagnoses on my chart are bipolar two, PTSD, panick disorder and with the unwritten acknowlegement of BPD. i have had my doc forever she knows me. thanks for your reply!
