[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 288643, member: 1514"] *Waving hands in the air* Hey...Im the resident Borderline here. I used to be all those things that description describes. To put it bluntly, I was a manipulative little B who did all the things that were described above. I was horrible. Of course, I got no help at all and I know I was heck on wheels to live with. Tony could tell you hours of stories about what life was like with me in my mid 20s. Its a wonder he stuck around. Slowly I calmed down and now that I have actually been on medications for almost 10 years and in therapy for 3 years, I am in a much better place. I actually understand that there are more than two emotions. I only used to know two emotions...anger and calm. Now I am much more in touch with my feelings. Borderline is really a disregulation of emotions. Its kinda of like not having any sort of skin over your nerve endings so all your nerves are exposed to the world and everything touches them so you feel everything and everything makes them hurt and you cant tell what is hurting. So you are constantly in pain and reacting to that pain. You would get jumpy and want to put something on that pain right? Thats why borderlines push people away...they hurt constantly. But they really dont want people to go away because they really do want people in their lives but they dont know how to tell people that they are hurting so badly because when people get so close, those very people hurt their exposed nerves. Its a very tough situation. The "I hate you, dont leave me" syndrome. [/QUOTE]
