Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder

Hey guys. So here's the story. I'm a 24 yo health professional with a 3 month th old beautiful boy. Before and during my pregnancy I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression but didn't understand why I continued to be violent towards my partner by screaming and crying at 4am paranoid about everything and breaking doors when he would hide in there from me. J didn't find out until 3 months post partum that I had BDP. The day I was diagnosed my partner said he couldn't do it anymore and left me. He then said he still loves me but wants me to get help but I'm scared he will use this against me in court when it comes to custody with our son. I've called beyond blue, lifeline, saw my therapist and left messages ona local hospitals psychotherapy BDP program unit etc with zero replies. I can't seem to find the support I need. Even a little regular BDP group meetin would be so nice. It would feel so great for me to link with young women as well as many others with my condition. I feel so alone. I've lost so many relationships and feel like I'll never have a normal life or have people who will want to stay .....

Re: Borderline Personality Disorder

I had a similar situation than although not to scare u I lost both my children during our divorce and can only see them once a fortnight at my parents house now. I used to live in the same town and only saw them 6 hours a week no sleep overs. My ex husband is very controlling and is scared of me of what I did to him in the past. But i know in my heart I will never do that to my children. My husband abandoned me thru my marriage always On the computer never gave
Me affection. I slept in a different room for the past 5 years of our marriage and guess what. The kids would always come to me In the morning. I miss that. I have never harmed them. I'm a good mum. I used to be a primary teacher but can't work anymore. My life is cracking and getting worse the more therapy I get. Maybe I'm just trying to find me.

Re: Borderline Personality Disorder

I'm so sorry you had to experience that ! I know what you mean I actually have suicidal thoughts frequently and a lot of self loathing. Splitting from my partner was the best decision I made . I made the split official and few days ago and he didn't even care. I remember telling him I feel like killing my self and he refused to hug me only because I told howler relationship was dry previously . Imagine that .. what type of partner is that. I feel like it's not really 100% our faults we are like this . It's just that we can not control our emotions properly like we are super super sensitive people that takes everything literally you know ? People who were mean to us don't deserve our apologies such as my partner whom I kept apologising to when in fact he contributed to more 50% of the triggers that made me mad. I've heard stories of women screaming at their partners or throwing stuff and their partners just laugh it off and still love them. I always wonder why my partner took it so differently and kownhere I am dragging my poor son into this mess and trust me he's so innocent and so beautiful . I've tried to click on your profile to find a way to personally message you but I wasn't able to. Please stay strong. If I can do it as a 24 yo single mum with a schizophrenic abusive mum, a newly diagnosed psychotic brother, a disappointed Asian family, a partner who doesn't care for my safety - trust me - you CAN do it too ❤️

Re: Borderline Personality Disorder

Thank you so much for your response ! I have a psychologist but he told me straight up he can't help me 😑 So I'm on the hunt for a new psychologist but like you said I'm not having any luck ! Imagine I've rang playgroups to get rid of the isolation and even they didn't call me back and I rang like 5 times too ! 😕

Re: Borderline Personality Disorder

I just moved to Melbourne I wasn't happy in the country now I'm getting all the flack. Why did u move away from your kids. Well 6 hours a week is bullshit. Now I can have a sleepover with them st my parents house and spend much more quality time with them. My husband still hates me even tho we split four years ago. He will never let things go. I asked if the kids could visit on the school holidays for one night and of course he said no. I basically resided my kids by myself for 6 years without any help fftom him. He would ignore and avoid. Sleep all weekend Now be has them and the kids hate me cos I left my so is autistic he doesn't understand. Because I left then house He think I don't like him. That's his way of thinking. So sad. That's been gojng on for four years. All he ever says that he hates me Cuts
Right to bone. Iceberg had 14 psych admissions since the split. None before due to losing my kids. How ca.n someone be so ctuel because u have a mental illness.
