Do I have borderline personality disorder? ?!


Question: Do I have borderline personality disorder? ?
I think i have borderline personality. I'm a female 14 year old. I am not good in social events as I feel out of place and like everyone is talking about me, in result of this I don't talk to many people. My emotions also vary largely each day, when my emotions are high I feel out of control, I feel like a different person and I hate it. I get very angry very quickly and this can result in me hurting people or braking things. I also hurt myself. Sometimes by hitting myself, burning myself or cutting myself. I also develop strange feelings for people I can't even explain. These are just a few symptoms I have and I know I need help, and after having thoughts of suicide when upset over little things. I did take an online test for borderline personality disorder, and the results came out as 100% positive but I'm aware this is not reliable. Also if you answer yes I do have borderline personality disorder please can you give me some advice in what to do now? Thanks.

Answers:

im 20 and have BPD and you do describe some of the characteristics of BPD but then again most the time you will not show signs of it till your 18 or early adulthood and it os brought on by traumatic events as a child and abandonment as for my my mum was murdered and my dad fled the country i have showed symptoms of it since i was 6 but very very mild then at 16 it became quite obvious there was something wrong with me but my full symptoms did not come out until bout 18/19 so unless you have had something as awful happen to you like me then i would say its unlikely for it to be BPD as you properly would not show signs of it yet.. but it is still possible just unlicky.. keep a mood journal and write in it everyday all your moods and episodes this will make it easier for you therapist to figure out whats goin on.. defiantly see a therapist and get a Professional opinion.. if you want to talk to be about BPD email me your msn or facebook addy whatever you use more and ill have a chat to you my brother is a psychologist so i know alot about it and also because i suffer from quite bad BPD my self best of luck.

On top of everything Mario told you, I need to stress that:

1. At 14 you cannot have, nor be diagnosed with, a personality disorder

2. You cannot be diagnosed with ANY mental illness on the internet no matter what age you are

3. BPD is NOT a diagnosis you want even if you're an adult. Do not try to seek it!



No you do not have it and if you took an "online quiz" for cancer, dieabeties, schizophrenia and lung disease you would come back 100% for all of them too ya know. Those "tests" are crap and aren't tests at all.

Every teen has huge mood swings due to puberty and hormones raging in the body trying to develop to a adult. You're not the only one. Its not borderline personality though. We all went through it.



That sounds EXACTLY like me, but I have never burned,hit or cut myself outta anger before. The worse I have done is attempted suicide a couple of times over things, not worth it. My aunt believes I have ADD or BP DO. Chances r u probably do have something, I'm guessing either ADD or bipolarness disorder. You can consult with a doctor & have them run a few simple tests on you, & if u happen 2 tests positive they will probably put u on a few meds, that should help regulate the chemicals in the brain so u will stop acting like this. Or, if you did not wanna go with that option, do like I did, meet with spsychiatrists& councilors (They helped GREATLY).
