Major Depression vs. Borderline


20 godina 0 149 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I have done research into it, and I have known three people, who have been borderline, one was diagnosed and admitted it, and of the other two, one would never admit anything is wrong with her, and one knows she has problems, but she has never actually discussed that diagnosis. But all three fit the description in the book, "Don't Keep Walking On Eggshells", which was very helpful to both my husband and I in identifying and dealing with Borderline people. The main line you will hear from them is they do not want to be abandoned, which is exactly what usually happens to them, because of their personality disorder. I recently have occassion to be with one of them on a social level occassionally, and I am scared she will bring me down...I have been diagnosed with Major Depression and Anxiety with Panic and Eating Disorders. While I can have deep relationships with Borderlines, I am afraid to get hurt. I don't mean to hurt anyone out there reading this, but it is hard for me to draw lines, and put my foot down on how much I will take from someone who is Borderline. It is a terrible disorder to have; however I also have to know how to protect myself in order not to become depressed by them. Any suggestions?

I have read a lot about Borderline Personality as well as Major depressive. I have been diagnosed as major depressive - 3 years in therapy and no real relief or solutions. My therapist keeps hinting that I am most like Borderline personality as well. There is a book I read (and I hate reading), but my therapist asked me to read it and I did, it explained a lot about BPD and what it is. It's difficult to explain it, but you could do some online research - thre are some good websites that explain it. Hope this helps a little

Hi unrequited, I wanted to provide you some information and references on these topics. When you say borderline - do you mean borderline personality disorder or bordeline for depression as opposed to major depression? Casey __________________________________ The Depression Center Support Team

Can somebody here define the difference between major depression and borderline?
