i just took the personality test. It told me i was very high in the borderline area... but this only makes me feel more angry at myself for even taking the test in the first place. ironic i guess? any suggestions on how to stop acting impulsively? i feel like i have tried everything, but i can't stop making these same mistakes, and then beating myself up for them. |

| I just took the borderline test, and I pretty much fall under "high" or "very high" for everything. So, the dude who calls himself "somethingelsexx" don't feel so bad, man, at least you're not psychotic. I admit, I do take psychotic episodes, I am paranoid, I do believe the government is trying to kill us with his branch of merry men, but at least I have a sense of humor about it and I can laugh it off. If I took myself seriously I'd take more drastic measures upon myself, and I don't really want that to happen and end up being lost in space somewhere because Jesus doesn't want me because I took my own life. Let me guess, I'm probably hard to follow, right? If anything, I hope I made somebody's day by cheering them up listening to me babble. | |

| Whoops! I just got very high for borderline too and a couple of others, the attention seeking ones. I've been worried that I have a personality disorder for a while now, because I have a problem with (mild) self harm, thing is, its been 8 years and I can't seem to shake it even though I want to. I'm too ashamed to tell anyone- it would basically mean admitting to lying to everybody I'm close to. :( But if I did it for attention surely I wouldn't have hidden it for this long? I would really like to get better myself anyone have any good suggestions? | |

ah! oops I wish I knew what to do about the cutting... I've been doing it for a few months now and I don't know what to do... I scored very high on the borderline, and two other ones, dependant and something else. my emotions are so out of order... nothing effects me anymore... I'm just blah. no emotion. and I don't know what to do |

I find that, with hurting myself, sometimes I can snap myself out of it, although admittedly I think I'm getting better than I was- so I don't know if this will work for others but anyway.... basically when I do it I don't feel it, I go kind of numb- I think it's called dissociation, and if you get past that, and really look at what you are doing, and think to yourself 'this is hurting me, I don't want to do this anymore' you can stop. (maybe) Ok, it's hard to explain, but it's kind of a mental barrier I have to break through, because as soon as I feel real pain, I stop. Even though for as long as I'm 'zoned out' I can carry on for hours without feeling anything (physically or emotionally) but when I do think about what I've done or am doing, I regret it. Other than that, I've tried forcing myself to stop by, for example, joining my uni swim club, where I had to go 3 times a week with bare arms. And this helped me, because my friends would look at me weird if I had marks and I'd have to lie my way out of it, which I didn't like. And if I thought about self-harming I'd be like no I can't I have to swim later/ tomorrow etc. Hope this helps a bit fallenangel22, hang in there! Buy a nice top that shows your cuts, then you can't wear it until you have clear skin again to entice you not to cut! x |

Awesome, looks like everyone's shooting blank posts! So I was one of the many here who scored a "Very High" on Borderline, and a "Very High" in schizotypal and schizo :| I don't share the cutting issue with anybody here, but I did notice that one of the attributes of a borderline personality is one who abuses drugs and alcohol. I am turning 21 years old on the 29th this May, and honestly, I've never been so scared in my life of this day coming. Both parents were hardcore alcoholics and have long since been removed from my life, but I have not been so successful in learning a lesson from it. Along with my alcoholic tendencies, I have been abusing OTC medicines almost daily now for the past year. It's terrible when you notice the damage it's done - loss of interest in things that you practically lived for - no care for a social life - no energy and no motivation. Is there anyone else with a similar situation? Thought I'd split the topic. |

| ab concept, i scored very high in the borderline, when i read ur post i felt deja vu. I dont know why. but i have been feeling suicidal and having visions of killing ppl. just going crazy. I hate it. this hasnt happen to me ever before. it started about 5 months ago. and i try to avoid it. but i cant. I used to live for dancing, and now im just blah. Could careless for it. I have to care for a socail life any more, and lately i just stay home, in bed. not feeling the need to do anything. I find myself breaking down, so much more. I dont know why, i just wish it would stop. im going thru to many damn cigerettes a damn day... | |
