I have BPD. I have in the past I have gone into friendships way too fast, too hard, too soon. Even if our personalities don't match. I still give way too much of myself. My time etc.
I have been with the same man since we were 21 , we're early forties now, so can't speak from the love aspect. But from the friendship aspect I know how much of a pain having BPD can be in my life. I get way too attached to quickly and when I feel they've wronged me my emotions turn to hate quickly.
They have now renamed BPD to EUPD.....Emotionally unstable personality disorder. In UK anyway
I was diagnosed with a mood disorder several years ago but I've often wondered if I was misdiagnosed or possibly also suffer from BPD. For myself personally, the feeling of "falling in love too fast" I feel applies to a lot of things not just people.
I have been diagnosed with BPD but I get super moody quite a lot. I wonder if I have an undiagnosed mood disorder. I mean I get really moody. Everyone hates my bad moods.
I used to take anti psychotic for BPD but stopped taking them a year and a half ago. Quetiapine. It did it's job for my BPD but was really rough on my body. I put on weight, was zoned out a lot. It also raised my hbA1c blood sugar levels to borderline pre diabetic. ( the psychiatrist who prescribed me quietiapine never warned me about this) I'm glad I stopped taking them. Now I have to continu e to lose weight. My head doesn't feel so fogged up now. Should I start a thread about Quetiapine? Would anyone be interested in that?
