I don't think you have borderline personality.  It seems to me that you are very sensitive to certain issues that change you abruptly.  The issue about men I think you just need to feel loved a lot.  Maybe your father wasn't there for you and you are seeking love from others?  This is just what I get from you.  Don't get depressed about not getting attention all the time.  It sounds like you do get a lot of attention though most of the time.  Am I right? The not eating thing is  you trying to get attention from others I think.  Just look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself I LOVE ME!!!  Just do it girl.  I think you will be fine.  JUST STAY STRONG!!!!!

first of all you need to stop comparing urself to other ppl....no two persons are alike,remember that, take some time out by yourself and seach ur heart...ask urself ,what has happened to you in the past which may influence you to feel this way,because sometimes things happens to us which affects our entire view of ourselves,and untill wefirst deal with those issues we will be forever trapped within ourself. take my advice....get out of your house...take a long walk..listen to some music...take it slow...u dont have to judge yourself by the characteristics of others..in doing so ,you are ignoring your very own unique characteristics.we are all beautiful sweetheart......never put yourself down ..,

people with borderline personality disorder can be very scary. they take on the feelings of others and are pretty much out of touch with their own bodies. i work with them and they can be the sweetest at times and then they can be the scariest, mouthiest people ever. i myself have also went to anger management and it really didnt do much for me. i was 17 and i thought that the world revolved around me and it wasnt until i was 21 did i realize that the way that i was acting was foolish and thta i could really hurt someone. so i really dont think that is effective. you have to find it within yourself and really see that what you are doing is dumb. and with the fact that he has borderline personality he probably wont find that. i think that you are putting yourself in real danger and i hope that there are no children involved in this. if there is i would ask you to please get them out of there!

Yeah I think I have a borderline attachment disorder! lol. I have commited in the past, it's just that I don't want to at the moment. I value my freedom and my life so much, that it would take someone very special for me to want to settle down and sacrifice all that.\n\nYou just have to be willing to make a few sacrifices, and able to drop the fear that goes along with commitment.\n\nGood luck :)

it seems to me, take note i am not a professional in this field, that you are trying to convince yourself that you have the perfect life and have no troubles. this question is like reading the bio of "Rebbecca of sunnybrook farms"! stay with the person that diagnosed you, you may have to dig deep within. there is a reason for that diagnosis, you must come across the opposite of what you wrote about yourself.  good luck, keep in touch.

You have to choose the right person to tell, someone you're close to, or your therapist (if you have one, if not, I recommend it).  I've found it easier to tell people things by email or over IM, and not in person.  But it actually might be easier to tell a therapist, since she or he probably won't judge you for it, or at least not as much as someone you're close to.  As a former cutter myself (haven't cut myself for any reason for about 2 1/2 years), I would recommend DBT (dialectical behavior therapy, also a common treatment for borderline personality disorder, but it's effective for other things as well).  It IS possible to stop, and it does get a LOT better.

Regarding responses you've already received...Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective, and Bipolar Disorder are probably not what's going on.  The symptoms you describe sound much more like Borderline Personality Disorder to me.  Google it, go find it on WebMD, whatever...just check it out and see if the descriptions sound familiar.  No matter what you choose to do, the most reasonable and sensible course of action is to first see your regular doctor to rule out any physical illnesses that could be producing your symptoms (i.e., problems with your pituitary, thyroid or adrenal glands, etc.).  Next, if your doc doesn't find evidence of any physical causes, have him/her refer you to a psychologist or counselor for evaluation.  Jumping to conclusions and trying to diagnosis yourself is just asking for trouble especially if you're already depressed - you'll end up thinking you have every symptom of every horrible illness you hear or read about! :)  Go seek answers and help from competent professionals who have actually spent years of their lives learning about how to diagnose and treat illnesses.  That's what they went to school for - so the rest of the population can pick their brains and get answers when they need them without having to do all the studying themselves! :)

This could be several things.  Most likely it is anxiety disorder.  You should see your physician and explain your symptoms to your doctor.  There is medications out that will help you to control the jitters and control the mood swings.  There may be some underlying depression as well.  There are medications that can control the anxiety and depression. There is also a possiblity that you could suffer from Bi-Polar Disorder.  Bi-Polar tendancies tend to suffer from ups and downs in mood.  One minute you will be happy and in 5 minutes you could be angry or sad.  Bi-Polar Disorder is a very serious disorder and you should seek medical attention immediately.  Many cases of Bi-polar disorder have suicidal thoughts.  With Bi-Polar disorder, it is very difficult for the person to "get ahold" of their emotions and will sometimes act out in a violent manner, causing harm to themselves or others.  You should really check with your physician.

Talk to your doctor if you want professional help.  It sounds like things are functioning the way they should, so asside from potential psychological problems, you're probably still good to go.

You might. These are all symptoms. See your doctor, you may just have a fearful personality but you can get help for it. It could also be a phase you are going thru but you must get a professional opinion for your peace of mind.

You may be bipolar. You should consult your doctor about it and maybe you can be prescribed a medication or be referred to a psychiatrist.

being biplor and having other personality disorders has a lot more characteristics than just random mood swings\nif you already say you have depression, then i'm sure you are just in the "regular depression" like you say you are.\nhowever, it may all be just hormones, other stuff..being sad doesn't necessarily mean you are depressed, unless you have of course been diagnosed.

I'm pretty sure you can diagnose yourself with a mental disorder. I have. But of course no one takes me seriously. lol. I guess you could be a hypochondriac... but that's also a mental disorder... and if you think you are a hypochondriac and you aren't... does that mean you really are? hahaha. \n\nMy Answer is yes. OCD is something you can usually spot pretty easily because it's things you actually do and not just things you may feel or think. I'd discuss it with someone and google it/ do some research.
