Borderline Personality Disorder – documentary
A documentary my colleagues and I made as our graduation piece in London, United Kingdom. Might not be of best quality as it was edited using Final Cut Pro 5.1 but tranfered to Quicktime for storage in our computers lol! This was inspired by a friend of ours, who was suffering from BPD..so it pretty much documents her journey in order to educate the public about Borderline Personality Disorder.

Thankyou for your reply…You DO have a few very good points. I guess it’s just a case of some people can cope with a partner with BPD, & some can’t… unfortunately. : (

@loobylouboti: I recognize this type of reasoning and it’s emotional blackmail. At some point you choose for your own happiness when you cannot make that person happy. And yes, it’s great. I hope the woman I left came become happy too, because she deserves it. People suffering with BPD have a hard time, for sure. Reality is all emotion. To love yourself and to forgive yourself notwithstanding your inconsistency is one way to happiness. Unhappy days are not compensated and they never come back.

Thankyou for this great vid! I think it was really well done, a very different way to expose BPD & inform ppl.
It gives hope to those who need it..

I really appreciate …
I really appreciate the intent and presentation of this piece. It’s a good starting point to explain to a non-BPD; or give them a feel, of what BPD is like for the afflicted. I actually fit most of (enough) criteria for BPD but feel my bipolar diagnoses is more accurate; from my attunement to creativity, to the cycling moods. Wish this crazy couple luck, we need it.

My GF was today rediagnosed BPD from a 10 year Bipolar diagnosis. I picked her up from the psyche ward today. 3rd since August; right after we got through chemotherapy; she was diagnosed with stage 2 lymphoma, now in full remission. I am hopeful that a proper therapy course for BPD instead of Bipolar will make the difference. I’m bipolar as well. Our relationship is challenging. Anything truly worth doing in life is challenging.

@JohnnyRock2000 Thank you. I hope you are well too. I miss having a family with my children. Luckily I have a new family. One day my daughters and her daughters will make a family.

@stefandetrez – …
@stefandetrez – Right on. It’s everyone own responsibility to take care of their own wellbeing. There is a saying that who you marry will be a source of happiness, or grief. I’ll wager when you married her that someone told you that you were making a mistake. You thought that you could be her cure. Leaving her was your cure. Happens to millions. You are in the company of many. Glad to hear that you weren’t permanently harmed.

@southernraven1969 If someone doesn’t understand you, it’s a good thing to clarify. If you find that too much effort, then don’t bring it up or be more clear, so people understand what you say in the first place and don’t have to guess what you are insinuating.

@southernraven1969 …
@southernraven1969 I tried a lot of things to keep the marriage alive. It just wasn’t enough. I realized I did not want to be in a marriage where my sole goal would be trying to bring happiness in someone life, while staying unhappy myself. I don’t understand why you bring up cancer. You mean a borderline patient with cancer?
November 2nd, 2010 at 6:39 am
@stefandetrez So …
@stefandetrez So much for marrying “For better,or worse.Sickness,or health”..Humm.At least you left her now instead of waiting until she was sick with something more devistating…Like CANCER…

@Cultuz I was …
@Cultuz I was married to a woman who suffers from BPD for 11 years. I thought marrying her would calm her down, coping with her adultery in a positive way would calm her down, being there to show her I love her would calm her down. Alas. Nothing helped. She had a public profile which was happy, and a private profile which was tending to depression. She could become enraged in no time over silly things. I left her. Physical and emotional abuse from her side were intolerable. I am happy, relaxed.

I think I might have this, but they say it doesnt affect that many guys. The only problem is Im poor and poor people with no insurance cant get adequate help alot of times…
