My life and an offer for mutual help

Posted by TheCaretaker at March 9, 2012

Hello everyone,

I am 39, male. I was - finally - diagnosed at 35 with Borderline Personality Disorder. This was after 5 psychiatric hospital stays, multiple major depressive episodes, anxiety attacks, drug and alcohol abuse, cutting, failed marriages, etc.

I am not completely "well," as I will always have BPD. But I am in remission, meaning I am not showing enough symptoms right now to be diagnosed with it. BUT I will always have it. Thank goodness for Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

That said, at 39, I have very little to show for myself. A rental house, a car that is not paid for, very little furniture, huge medical debts, etc. BUT I am alive, have found a great GF with BPD as well, who can help me and I can help her. She has made me very happy.

I guess my point is, every situation has an upside coming. I read a lot of Buddhist philosophy, although I do not follow the religion. One of the tenets of Buddhism is everything changes. So, if you are struggling, know that it WILL change for you.

If you need someone to "talk" to over email, leave me an email address in the comments - make up a new anonymous one if you need to.

I DO NOT have all the answers, but would be glad to trade ideas back and forth.

There IS someone there that cares. I do, if no one else.

i am 18 i have seen dozens of head case ppl we shall call them, ranging from dream therapists to psychs to spiritual healers. i already am in constant pain , can't feel my fingers on one hand cause i cut it so bad i am covered in scars i hate my family i have been raped by both genders when i was very young and got an sti from it, i cannot feel my clit, i have OCD and bipolar, hate everyone for it, i drink too much, misplaced two years of my life smoking weed. moved out of home three years ago, lived on the streets. am not respected cause I'm young, not understood. went to a buddist temple where i was told to ask a question, i asked " will i find love and true friends?' no i was told, cut my arm 185ish times then changed my mind cause my mothers abusive partner said i should do it and it's weak so i got in a cold bath and stitched my arm up. my mum is a social worker and will not accept that i have bipolar and says I'm bringing shame on her if i tell people. i intimidate my psychs and have made two cry from the shit here and stuff i have not written. my dumb and forefinger will not stop burning from severing my radial nerve. meant to have surgery on knee and arm and jaw. the jaw from being hit with a cricket bat in front of the family cause i didn't catch the ball. after all this and some more i decided. knowledge would be all i have left turns out i can't do that properly cause my brain doesn't work the way to used to. all i have is self loathing and self pity, and too much anger at people, the world and emotions to kill myself right now. no hope no belief, just too lazy to finish the job. . .

You have been treated so poorly and you are only 18? I am so, so, sorry. I wish that I could take you under my wing (arm) and shelter you. Your story is just totally tragic.
By anonymous at 13,Mar,12 10:22

Keep reading about Buddhist texts. From what I've read, Buddhism is the most accurate religion when it comes to describing the afterlife and the way the universe actually functions. Who cares if you don't have fancy shit, you have piece of mind.
