Borderline personality disorder
http://www.stanford.edu/~corelli/borderline.html
Are you involved in a relationship with someone who has BPD? REad the above link, it might change your life.
In a nutshell, BDPs alternate between kind, gentle, charming behavior and pure rage, hatred. If you have to walk on eggshells around your mate, if he is unable to take criticism and "blows up", chances are, he/she has BDP.
BDPs are unable to form long term relationships with other people.
They control others through guilt or blame or bribes.
They most likely come from broken families, denied parental influence.
They cope with problems in abnormal ways, detached from reality. Drinking, smoking, and many other forms of escapism and inability to confront reality and change.
People like that cannot be fixed. Get out while still sane. Or, over many years, they will change you into a clone and you will exhibit many bad behavioral patterns without even knowing it. Like "codependency". (Another psychobabble term which means if you live with a crazy person, you end up a doormat in your relationships)

yeah, it is the exact reason I am currently divorced
The ex was a good woman until a year before the divorce, then she went downhil quickly, with all the sympthoms mentioned here. I tried my best to work with her through it, but she didn't want to, seemed she would rather have self destructed, which is exactly what she did, and by the time she decided to get help, the damage had already been done, and she had no desire to undo it, so it ended what had been a good relationship to that point.

................I spent 4 years trying to live with a female with Bi-Polar disorder. Took me 5 years to repair all the financial problems she left me with. So , she cost me 9 years of my life in effect. Dr's Jeckyl and Hyde with *****. Of course, I was the biggest Boob cause I didn't take a powder after about the first month of her malfeasance. I had no idea what what BP was until I met this crazy woman. I'm an expert Now , though.....s.kuteman

There is some difference between bi-polar and BPD, although they do overlap a bit. I've known bi-polar women who were also somewhat BPD, but then I have also known women who had BPD but no bipolar depression.
I am an expert in crazy women. I tend to gravitate towards highly intelligent, creative, difficult, sociopathic people.
Although each time I seem to find a new, strange and interesting disorder I attempt to correct (and it never works).
My last serious engagement was with someone with a mild form of BPD but mostly manic-depressive, delusional and with hallucinations.
That was after I had to visit a minimum-security institution to talk to my girlfriend - well, she wasn't my GF, just someone who tried very hard.
Has anybody seen Girl, Interrupted ?

I believe what this is about is catorgorizing people for diagnosis.I can tell you first hand that often the patient is misdiagnosed because they either do or don't fall under one of these catagories.I found it was more experimental than scientific.It's certainally hard to find an expert,IMHO.
