Ask A.J. Mahari, the BPD Coach, what you most want to know more about Borderline Personality Disorder. Mother of Daughter With Borderline Personality Disorder - Coping with Splitting "I have an adult daughter who has BPD. She refuses to go see someone about her condition. My question has to do with how I react when my daughter is both "acting in" and "acting out". The situation is escalating and reeking havoc in her marriage and in her family life (she has an 11 year old son), and certainly with her extended family. My biggest concern is my grandson."

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) has at its center abandonment. Those diagnosed with BPD have a tremendous and often all-consuming fear of abandonment. They feel or perceive the threat of abandonment in many everyday relational situations. Along with this intense fear of abandonment people with BPD have an equal and intense inability to effectively cope emotionally with this fear of abandonment in ways that would be healthier for relationships. Often people with BPD being very triggered by their fears of abandonment are triggered into emotional dysregulation that leaves them struggling with often repeated flooding of feelings from the past that are re-experienced in the here and now.

I am a 54 year old woman with Borderline Personality Disorder. Why does it hurt so much having BPD? Why am I always in so much pain? I don't understand where the pain is coming from, what it means, or what I am supposed to do with it or about it. Every time my therapist starts to talk about pain I just block out everything she says. I just can't hear it. Help! What can I do to deal with all of this pain that I just can't stand?

"I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder about 6 years ago. I am now 35. I feel as if life has passed me by because as someone with BPD I just can't seem to make any type of relationship last or work. There is so much pain I feel all the time. I am so depressed. I just keep hurting people who I try to get to know. No one in my family is even speaking to me right now. Everything in my stinking borderline life pretty much sucks. I don't even get why "this" is happening to me. My question is, can I really recover from Borderline Personality Disorder?" -- Mary Mcallistar - Alberta, Canada
