bandaid....

Sometimes it is better that way...... not all, but some replies that people get are rather sad. You tend to see a lot of posts that come off as bashing and the "you're stupid" kind of thing.

I...

I'd like to add that I am aware many young people like to identify themselves with mental health disorders because for some reason they think it is "cool" and they want attention from their peers.
...

That's pretty messed up to be quite honest, lol! Who WANTS to have a disorder? I was scared and rather worried which is why I posted the thread in the first place. I am sure that was evident and...

I appreciate your reply... Once again, I grabbed those symptoms straight off of a BPD site and anxiety is directly linked to BPD, so totally expected! I'm sure there are more signs/symptoms that are...

It's always nice to hear back from people that are mostly cured from their anxiety...it provides hope for many of us.

As for your nightmare, that is rough. I've also had a bad dream twice now that...

Hi superchick,

I can 100% relate with your post. I'm always rejecting plans or cancelling at the last minute. I feel so crappy about myself all the time and it's hard to face my friends/extended...

Hi Cheesy!

I sometimes feel the exact same way in terms of being paranoid that people are talking about me. I have some social-anxiety so i'm always afraid of looking bad infront of people incase...

I can relate to the feeling like a failure part. I'm 19 years old and have not completed any college/university programs like my 3 older sisters have. I often compare myself to them and feel really...

I appreciate your clarification. I've witnessed many people being snarky on these forums (not you of course) when people were simply looking for knowledge/advice which is unfortunate as this is a...

manicure......

I was skeptical about even making this thread because of replies like the one above. I just want peoples own experiences. I am not one to self-diagnose and claim I have something unless i'm...

Like I said, i'm not trying to "self-diagnose".... just looking for more information on people who have gone through a BPD diagnosis. Along with that, all those symptoms were pulled off of a website...

I'll give you guys a few symptoms/signs that I have just to give you guys a better overview:

- Problems regulating their emotions and thoughts (i get pretty angry/frustrated/stressed at little...

I don't know where else to post this thread so I just figured i'd do it here.

Does anyone have this or know anything about it? I was watching a youtube video by this therapist/counsellor who...

Anxiety disguises itself in so many different physical and mental forms... it's honestly insane!

I suffered from TERRIBLE chest pain last summer which still comes and go and anxiety was the last...

hahahaha that gif!!!!!

as for your post timefish, you sound totally normal to me!! i'm always looking around me to see who is there and what they are doing. you aren't alone :)

I'm skimming through posts and read about the baby.... that is so exciting. Congrats!

As for your anxiety, I can relate. As a child I had the worst separation anxiety when leaving my mom or having...

I went through terrible chest pains last summer.... I was in the ER twice in a week followed by multiple appointments for tests done on my chest and heart. The ER doctors prescribed me naproxen for...

I've never been to a therapist so it's hard to tell but I will tell you my opinion anyway.

In grade 13 (i went back for 1 semester after graduating highschool) I went to see my doctor about...

I can somewhat feel your pain but it's sort of different for me. I feel these ways towards close friends of mine. I hate that feeling of drifting away so i'll always check in to make sure things are...

Welcome to the forum..... I guess I was the opposite of you and came here in extreme desperation. I needed to post my story right away and just let it all out. It definitely did help me... I hope...

The best thing to do is find things you enjoy doing although this is obviously much easier said than done.

I lost a lot of contact with my friends because they're all into clubs and partying and...

I'm a 19 year old female that is currently working part time and doing nothing else. I went to college for 1 semester to pursue a career in nursing but due to anxiety I decided I can't be a nurse......

I've been getting chest pains for just over a month now.... they were EXTREMELY bad at first but they have gotten better for the most part.

At random times in the day i'll feel a minor ache in my...
