I was up last night, couldn't sleep
I was tossing and turning in bed (well just turning, not tossing, but lol ok, figure of speech)
and i thought about this website
I want to make a website a bit different to the rest on emotianlly unstable personality disorder.
rather than just reeling out the classic DSM symptoms, i want to ignore this, and talk about how it actually affects the person
in 9 years of diagnosed illness, its only this last 9 months i have had it explained to me in detail, which has helped me understand a lot mroe, and make me feel less like a freak and fraud, and more like "yes, i have this, that makes sense" etc
i think this is therefore missing for a lot of people, and even more so their carers.
I think with my vast experience of the illness at the severe side, with a excellent cpn who specialises (when he's not on sick lol) will give me a very good opporutniy to help people understand
i am hoping to setup a forum at sometime, and hopefully some kinda positive feedback, which will for me be worth the tenner it cost for the domain x 100
Its also gonna have a thing to print, which i wanna write anyway for my parents/grandparents in germany, so what i write once gets used twice
i think this will be of major benefit to suffers, and the people close to them, which will only result in more benefit for the suffers -
what i failed to mention was the Earl
URL hahaha

please dont be offended Rob cos I think its a very good idea.. please could i suggest you dont use the blue on yellow that you are using .. As an SVI person its very dazzly and difficult to read.. so much so I couldnt actually read the writing cos it danced around too much

I was thinking the exact same thing myself recently :D
I think all the sites out there churn out the same old information which doesnt explain anything very well.
I think that because this is an emotional disorder, explaining things in a logical manner doesnt particularly help. We need an emotional, personal explanation to EUPD/BPD that gives a depth of understanding that a mere list of symptoms provides.
I had a quick look at the site and really liked the personal explanations of the disorder in the fact sheet and think the site is really coming along well
Thanks and well done!This is a reply to this message.

hi there Rob, i have EUPD or BPD, ive only come upon this site and the term Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder. i think this identity will help others to understand what it is to have BPD. i was discussing with my 20 yr old son what it felt like, in a mutual search for understanding. i wanted to know what he knew about me, or about EUPD/BPD and how he viewed his own unsettled emotional states or outbursts on occasion in relation to PD.
we laughed afterwards and he said, well thats sounds like both of us are in a bad way then !
i described the pain of feeling very lost, even when with others, the state of not really feeling that i belong to any thing or body, in that it was hard to stay committed to something. i described how i had great urges (which i didnt act on) of feeling very threatened by others, how this often led to panic states or of agitation, how it was difficult to understand or be able to express to others, how the intensity of all of this was felt. i said i coped by not wanting to be around others, by becoming socially isolated. which is not a good thing but i described it mostly as being such a strain of two (or multiple) states of being, ie of being elated, and joyous and of loving life and then of being so intensely down and unmotivated and slugged by life
he empathised and described his own state and understood himself more tho was in awe of how difficult it all became
i hope this helps a little as a reply to what you put
