Interesting article on BPD
This was taken from another site, but it was probably one of the most helpful articles I have read on my situation with my wife. Her Dr. diagnosed her a year ago as bi-polar and she blew him off thinking he was crazy, but I swear reading this article on BPD was like living in my footsteps. I guess it makes me feel better to know, there was a part of her that may have truely loved me at one point, and i wasn't completely used like I feel. Anyway read if you're interested.

I dated a bi polar who tried to kill herself and it destroyed half her brain. I visit her in a nursing home.
One of my close friends tried to set me up with a girl a few months ago. It came out that she is bipolar. It was all I could do to not smash his face in for being so ****ing stupid.

It looks to be caused by improper cell membrane permiability. What would cause that? Not the right nutrients going to the cells. What would cause that ? Think leaky gut...
The amount of mental conditions that are a direct result of bad intestinal health is simply amazing.

Actually BPD is usually stemmed from some form of abandonment. In which my wife did infact have, along with daddy issues, history of depression, abuse, cheating mother etc.
It was just crazy to see how it seemed to fit my wife so well. Alot of times BPD and Bi-polar are misdiagnosed, usually because a lot of BPD'ers generally have bi-polar as well.

Our ability to deal with "abandonment" and emotional problems lies in our hormones and the ability of our body to help the mind yes the other way around as well.
But if you have iGG food intolerences and a bad hormone profile no happy thinking is going to be able to help you.
BPD
OCD
ODD
ect
ect
Are all just labels.. At the end of the day they describe symptoms and are labelled with a tag to suit insurance companies and the pharmacutical industry.
The cause or root of the problems are never looked into because of a few reasons.
1. Half the people you are delaing with dont know
2. They dont want to know
You would be amazed what things simply go away when the cause of those problems is addressed...

Bipolar disorder and cell membrane dysfunction. Progress toward integrative management.
Kidd PM.
Abstract
Bipolar disorder (BD) is characterized by periods of abnormally elevated mood (mania) that cycle with abnormally lowered mood (depression). Multiple structural, metabolic, and biochemical abnormalities are evident in the brain's cortex, subcortex, and deeper regions. This disorder is highly genetically conditioned but also highly susceptible to environmental stressors: prenatal or perinatal insults, childhood sexual or physical abuse, challenging life events, substance abuse, and other toxic chemical exposures. Its high morbidity, lost productivity, and suicide risk place a great toll on society. Since World War II, BD has been steadily worsening with earlier age of onset, greater intensity of symptoms, and development of drug resistance. Incidence in children is rising and misdiagnosis is common. Disciplined management of the many risk factors is essential, including cognitive psychotherapy and support from family and community. Lithium has been the foundational treatment, followed by valproate and other mood stabilizers, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants. Several single-nutrient and multinutrient supplements have also proven beneficial. Controlled, double-blind trials show multinutrient combinations of vitamins, minerals, orthomolecules, herbals, and the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA to be effective monotherapy. The molecular action of lithium and valproate converge with nutrients on the level of the cell membrane and its molecular signal transduction systems. This emergent, unified rationale presages effective integrative management of bipolar disorder.Last edited by n00bs; 08-25-2010 at 07:00 AM.

Increased intestinal permiability you can have it and not know . I had it for 12 years....
Never knew i had problems just kept tacking antidepressants.
Got my iGG intolerance results back last week.
Guess what they are?
chicken
beef
wheat
whey
all dairy
eggs
All my staples..
Anyway the fact is she had problems however you guys were just not aware/informed about them.

Exactly. Seems to me as long as she stays in denial and seems to think everyone else she dates was the problem, she will always have them. The closest to good about any of her ex's I ever heard her say was 'they weren't all bad guys i dated, things just didnt work out'. Anyway the last four people, myself included - it was everything WE did wrong, and why SHE felt 'unhappy' and wanted to leave.
That article atleast describes why I felt I was walking on eggshells, and no matter how much I did or sacrificed, it did not seem to help, or matter.

Nah bro, this was written by a BPD'er...no flaming intended. If anything, it made me feel sorry for my wife dude to be honest.
For the first time since we separated I went to bed last night and actually prayed for her happiness. Regardless if I feel our marriage was a sham or not, somewhere in these yrs together, I did see a good person inside of her, and if she can find a way to get herself together, well, it may be too late for her and I - but it can only benefit our child.

Well her Dr said she was, and she refused to take medicine. She doesn't feel depressed now, she feels happy, it was only when she was at home...which the article clearly states that this is a sure sign of High Functioning BDP. Alot of times it's hard to tell the difference between bi-polar and BPD, because a lot of times the person has both, so she may or may not have bi-polar, or perhaps both.
One things for certain, she has all the clear signs of BDP...something is wrong with her anyway you slice it.
But you're right, she has screwed my head bad, my self esteem, everything. But over time it will mend back. It's only because she took her childish personal shots, I guess because it makes her feel better.

Well enlighten me, tell me the story. I agree it was a crappy relationship, but the end wasn't as bad as it was a few months prior. Maybe she was cheating then? Who knows, I know once we went to fvck finally, if she was cheating, my shit wouldn't go in so that tells me enough

Look for a book called gut and phsycology syndrome, also ultramind solution.
Explains some things, and may be of benefit to BPDers.
Best of luck

Thanks bro, but we are separated and she has already painted me 'black' no matter how great i was to her.
I've heard it all tonight, i couldnt handle my job, even tho I did that job AND another job at the same time. I was a jerk, im an ass, im a ***** because i wont answer her calls etc....now im being accused of screwing my daughter over because I layed down with her when she went to bed. Nothing I ever did for her was enough, because she either has BPD or outright used me. It could go either way, but she played an awesome role as a wife and girlfriend if her whole intent was to use me. Either way she is psycho, and is trying to convince herself I am the bad guy after all i did was bust my ass and do everything i had to for my whole family, hell and hers too...her mom and brother moved in as well.

they're not talking about bipolar disorder they are talking about borderline personality disorder. A somewhat similar but nonetheless different disorder, borderline however i believe is considerably worse then bipolar due to it being much harder to treat because it is a "personality disorder" instead of a "chemical one". So medication does not help as much.

Nah I would hope she wasn't calling me a child molestor
It's our daughter, she was bitching about me laying down with her until she goes to sleep at night. She says its screwing up her bedtime routine.
I have listened to the girl change story after story, and it's really sad. It went from everything I did wrong, to her not knowing why she didnt love me, to everything I did wrong, to I didnt deserve it (which I damn sure didnt) and that she will never be happy. She just needs help, and I hate me or my daughter got caught in the middle of it.
