I'm very interested in this subject. There are two types of EUPD:

"* Impulsive type: the predominant characteristics are emotional instability and lack of impulse control. Outbursts of violence or threatening behaviour are common, particularly in response to criticism by others.
* Borderline type: there is marked instability of mood, relationships and self-image. They exhibit marked rapid mood shifts, intense unstable relationships and recurring impulsive self-damaging behaviour. They experience a persistent lack of identity, a sense of emptiness or boredom and they may engage in frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment."


I'm really interested in the Borderline type and trying to find out if anyone around here has it/knows more about it (maybe can recommend a reading or a website) and its treatment (if it exists).

Hey Bliss, if this is for you or a friend I would strongly recommend seeing a specialist! While the internet may be good for somethings, self diagnosis is very dangerous and concerning.

Ooooh good idea! My cue's not been getting much use recently and I'm sure the landlord's wondering why I bother to leave it in the pub! Razz

Point meditation helps a lot. So does not smoking pot.
