The people I know who have it find it really difficult to live with, because they LOVE creating drama because they thrive on it. They have to constantly remind themselves to a)not create drama and b)people aren't out to get them.

Usually it comes with depression and anxiety and other health problems so it can be difficult to live with.

Very similar to bipolar disorder..hell on earth... very difficult!!!! Check out the link below for lots more info on Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)..... Good Luck!

What is it like to push away everyone you love because you don't want to be around them, but at the same time you can't live without them. What is it like to need someone to be sitting next to you 24/7, and if they go to the store for 15 min. you want to kill yourself because they have abandoned you because they don't love you anymore. What is it like to need to have someone close to you, because you are terrified to be alone.

There is an excellent account by a patient who suffers from BPD in Borderline Personality Disorder in Adolescents (the account is exceptioally well written) talking of the highs and lows, the despair and the promise.

It is very clear that most people suffer terribly. No one "likes" the drama.
