[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP You seem a bit overly dramatic to me.[/quote]

If you ever have the bad luck to be forced to interact extensively with a BPD, this smug perspective is going to change. Just a matter of fact.[/quote]

My sibling has BPD. When she feels 'abandoned' or 'empty' she is desperate to talk to someone close (Family only, crisis line or such would not help).

She will call 30 times a day leaving wailing voicemails, despite the fact we talked already earlier that day and talk several times in the week. BPD has been called a bottomless pit of need, and that fear of abandonment drives extreme behavior. [/quote]

This is also typical BPD behavior. DH's ex wife at one point sent more than 700 emails. That's not a typo. More than 700 emails and more than 200 voicemails plus several novella-sized manifestos in the mail. It's like an overwhelming addiction to attention that cannot be filled with ordinary human interaction. Giving more attention doesn't help, and I often wonder if it only makes things worse. We cut her out of our lives completely when the kids became adults.  To this day she believes we're simply mean people who don't want to be friends with her. She makes absolutely no connection between her behavior and our reaction. [/quote]
