Title: Does my friend have BPD? Post by: Mr.D on August 25, 2021, 09:36:17 PM Hey all! :hi: Do you think that my friend is a pwBPD? I've been reading about the disorder and the more I research about it the more I think that she is a pwBPD. Here are the observations I've noted down ever since becoming friends with her.
1) Heavy smoker and drinker 2) History of drug use 3) Male only friends 4) Foolhardy behavior 5) Social media addict 6) A lot of exes 7) "abused by all exes" 8) Triangulation with the men in her life 9) A lot of "mirrored" hobbies 10) Relationship/friendship recycling 11) Magical thinking (universe, sixth sense, ghosts, etc...) 12) Attention seeking Title: Re: Does my friend have BPD?

its difficult (if possible) to say whether any of these, or all of these things, would cross the threshold into a personality disorder. any one of these things, or a few of these things, could mean a personality disorder, or just a very immature person. when trying to determine whether a loved one has bpd, this is a very good place to start: https://bpdfamily.com/content/what-borderline-personality-disorder what is your relationship with your friend like? |
