Crystal,
the best way to determine if you are suffering from something like BPD is to ask yourself the following questions:
1. Is your personal life unstable? In other words, do you have very rocky relationships with friends and loved ones? Do your friends avoid you? Do you go through relationships quickly, often with fights at the end?
2. Do you have problems trusting other people? When a person doesn't call you back do you get irritated? Do you think marriage is impossible because any guy will cheat? Do you believe people are fundamentally dishonest?
3. Do you drink or use drugs heavily to help "mellow you out" or "take the edge off."?
4. Do you have thoughts of suicide?
5. Have you hurt yourself intentionally, or do you have a "death wish?" This includes driving too fast, promiscuity, fighting, etc.
6. Do you often feel "numb" or "detached"? Kind of dead inside, like you simply don't care? Have you had instances where you can't remember what happened the night before?
7. Do you love someone one day and then hate them the next? |
