Borderline Personality Disorder and the Insanity Defense

	I can understand their defense regarding BPD if in fact they do suffer from it. I'm really struggling at the moment; Some days, I want nothing more than to stab or beat someone to death. I am a calm soul and this scares the s--- out of me because I believe that I could actually do it. ANY TIPS PLEASE????

	Getting help shouldn't be too hard. Just ask your physician if they could recommend anyone to help you get "tested" and they should probably be able to help. If that doesn't work, look online for a psychiatrist and talk to them about it. Of course, whatever you do, you'll most likely have to pay some amount of money. I think it would be worth it, however, if you do have BPD and were able to get proper treatment for it . . . and it would be even more worth it if you found out for sure that you really don't have it. :D Also, if you're still in school, you could talk to a counselor about getting help, and they're pretty much obligated to do something about it, so long as you're serious. Heh.

	I suffer from bpd and by no means is it a defense for committing crime. yeah sure bpd causes a person to have over sensitive emotions and bouts of anger and i have done and said things that im totally ashamed of! Using bpd as an excuse to take another human life is absurd and offensive to those who struggle with this terrible mental illness. to jaylund we all have crazy feelings and thoughts wether u suffer from mental illness or not my guess is ....u only believe u could actually do it because the feeling of it and the mental picture in your head is so intense but i dare say everyone has had thoughts and feelings of this kind at some point in theyre lifes. even the sane ones lol :)
