Title: Co-worker Post by: Risa on June 30, 2017, 05:19:22 AM Hi,
I'm pretty certain that my co-worker has BPD. I have know her for years and have "walked on eggshells" around her. I've seen her anger at the most minute and unexpected things, and seen her stop speaking to others suddenly. Recently the anger has turned on me over a minor misunderstanding. Until then we were close friends. Now three months later any time we are alone, I experience her aggression-- throwing things (not at me), banging, sabotaging, calling me names, insulting my work. Her anger has escalated over time, rather than diminished. I am trying to understand what is behind the tantrums. I feel that she is expending a huge amount of energy on them.
