"My Mom had a stroke 2 years ago and is still recovering" (Tooskinny)

MDJunction to me

mabri"When I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with fibromyalgia, I didn't know where to turn. I got on my computer and looked for a support group where I could talk to other people with the same disease and get some help...Information, suggestions, mostly just what I can do now that I have this.....disorder/disease/syndrome...I didn't even know what to call it. I found MDJ, and yes, there was a support group for fibro. I started a post, and figured I would never get an answer. However, very quickly I was welcomed in, and became really involved in the group. I received help, support, friendship and the feeling of being truly cared about by these strangers who had become like family to me. Now, I have been here for about a year and a half...I have become a group leader, and love every minute of it. It is so wonderful to be able to help others. I still receive help and answers from the members in this group. The fibromyalgia is where I go to help, support, listen, care and even laugh. I don't know what I would do without this group."

My username is Kristismom (I really have to be anonymous for now) and I have BPD. I am really struggling now as very poor decisions and shear co-dependency have ruined the recovery that I thought I had acheived in the last year and a half. I'm falling apart, I have NO ONE to talk to, and I know you guys understand. Right now I feel hopeless, guilty, shameful and lazy. I want to talk about it, but I need to take my five year old to the park (distraction technique). Please reply to my post. I need people who understand, and i really need hope.

I really fucked up and I can't get over it. Its a long story, though. First let me tell you that I am 30 years old, and have been in therapy since I was 4. I have been blamed for everything in the world that my parents have ever had go wrong in their lives. I have been diagnosed as bipolar from age 15 until recently when I realized that I really have BPD (two years ago). That only happened as a result of another tumultuous era in my life that led me right into my current problem. I'm so dumb because I had a professional (not a therapist)helping me out and I fell in love with him. I manipulated him, and befriended him, and I REALLY hurt him because I became obsessed with him. I may have destroyed his marriage. To be honest, I may have wanted to, but not in this way. I really thought I was cured two years ago, but after reviewing the last 18 months of my life, I noticed I'm more borderline than I ever been, but I can hide it better. And when it all blew up in my face last month, I became the victim, and then I schemed and lied some more. (I nearly was killed covering my tracks, and that still didn't wake me up.) By the way, I'm the mother of a 5 year old. There is a lot more to the story, and I need to get it out, but I don't want to bore anyone.

I'm just not getting better. My life is a mess. I don't know what is my fault and what is not. So much has happened and its really hitting me 2 months after the fact.

How many Borderlines out there have fallen for "the help". I've heard of falling in love with a therapist, how about their attorney? How far should an obsession go before the obsessor knows its "sick"? Someone help me. I'm crying my eyes out.

yeah ive done the same thing too, my doctor and a nurse that was helping me. i think its a characteristic in BPD, they say its really important to have someone aware of these traits. but man are they hard to come by.
