Infidelity and borderline personality disorder?

What is it that you want to know about infidelity and BPD?

Are borderlines often unfaithful? Yes. Impulsive behavior in at least 2 areas (drinking, drugs, cutting, promiscuous sex, etc.) is a hallmark of BPD behavior and one of the DSM-IV symptoms of the disorder.

Not all people with BPD are unfaithful, of course, and anyone (not just a borderline) can potentially be unfaithful. However, the risk factor is certainly higher with a borderline than a non-borderline.

Talk to a social worker about your child disruptive behavior and school .I am sure a social worker can help put your child in school for special children and let your doctor immediately the medication is not working.

Why do you feel so sad when having recurring thoughts about things you did in the past?

That's probably nostalgia. If it's like you wish you could go back to that time or wish you could relive it all again, then yes that is most likely you being nostalgic. Unless you feel bad or regretful about doing something then that's probably be guilt. But that's just my opinion.

How to smile if your sad?

Sad can go away and so can smiles. If something makes you feel sad, then it's okay to show a sad face.

Some people can't smile when they are crying and are sad. Some can smile if they are always taught to be jolly at times like being sad.

Smile even if you don't know the reason. Smiles are beautiful but frowns are a very painful look to other people.

When I look at people and caught their eye, I smile easily. I know how to cry but not much. I feel sad but people don't see it coz i keep on smiling and laughing and thinking about funny moments.

After sadness, there are smiles, after smiles there are sadness and other emotions. It's like a complex cycle. A goes to B and B becomes C and so on.

Being sad is normal. If you can't smile when you are sad then forget about sadness. Let itself take care about itself. Stay happy and optimistic.

Has anyone with bipolar experienced depersonalization?

Yes. I have been diagnosed with bipolar for about 5 years. I occasionally experience depersonalization (like yesterday). I've been going through a somewhat manic phase and upset it further by staying up till 4am. The next day, I kept forgetting where I had been, everything looked unfamiliar, and I felt like I was not really controlling my body... like I was sitting in a chair in my head, watching a video.

Do alcoholics have multiple personalities?

Everyone has multiple personalities. What i have learnt is that alcoholics do what they do as a means of escape, they have associated drinking with getting away from frustration. Have you ever got annoyed at something and so you do something that you enjoy to get away, like watch tv. You feel you are in control with TV so it is the perfect thing to get away to.

Will not eating make u sad?

Can a hospital force a urinary catheter?

It depends on the circumstances. In some cases, yes.

The answer is actually no. In any person competent to make their own decisions (ie not sanctioned under the mental heath act), the hospital cannot force a catheter and if they do will find themselves in court being sued for battery. There is always an alternative to catheterisation but the hospitals do not make people aware of this as it involves more work and inconvenience for them. They tell you that is some procedures a catheter is essential. This is not true and you can refuse the treatment if they insist it involves catheterisation then refer the matter to the medical council. Dont be misled, catheters are not essential. Its your body, if you dont want one just refuse it, there is nothing they can do.

What is the difference between depressions and anticyclones?

one difference is that anticyclones stay for a long period of time and depressions only stay for a short amount of time.....

Anticyclones are areas of high pressure, the descending air is cooler, dryer and denser than at ground level. As it descends it warms increasing its ability to hold moisture so precipitation is much less frequent.

Cyclones/depressions on the other hand are low pressure zones that bring unstable weather with strong winds and heavy rain. There are several stages to a depression, the embryonic, mature and stage of decay.

Anticyclones stay for longer, and in regards to the UK, are less frequent, bringing frosts in winter and heatwaves/dry summers. Their winds blow in a clockwise direction and have a low pressure gradient (wide spread isobars) which means gentle winds. Depressions on the other hand have a strong pressure gradient and strong winds, which blow in an anticlockwise direction.

Air rises in a depression and descends in an anticyclone.

Hope this helped.

How do you know if your child has multiple personality disorder?

My child is always depressed one minuet, then happy the next, she runs of angry to her room and when I go in there she is happily playing on her computer seemingly unaware as to what happened also regularly spaces out, what should I do, should I take her to a psychiatrist?

If your child has never suffered from any major dramatic trauma then she is highly unlikely to have MPD/DID. She could be bi-polar. Either way if you are concerned with her behavior then taking her to a psychiatrist is a very good idea. It can't hurt, right? Good Luck.
