BPD Consumers

BPD Today Borderline Email Support Group This group is a non-moderated support group for those with BPD only. No families or clinicians. 

BPD-UpFromTheAshes Group owner says "The list is intended for all those who suffer from BPD, whether they are at the beginning of recovery, well along into recovery, or anywhere in between. It is meant to be a safe place for those with BPD to come for support.   List members may speak freely without fears of being judged, ridiculed or invalidated. Often I find that other lists concentrate on the devastating effects of BPD, without giving much attention to the hope of recovery. It is hoped that on this list everyone will find an appropriate place, and have a sense of belonging. Specific details of self harm are not to be discussed, however, general statements, such as "I feel like hurting myself today," are allowed."  

The Male Perspective You must be a male to join this group. "The list is intended for males who suffer from BPD, whether they are at the beginning of recovery, well along into recovery, or anywhere in between. It is meant to be a safe place for guys with BPD to come for support.   List members may speak freely without fears of being judged, ridiculed or invalidated. Often I find that other lists concentrate on the devastating effects of BPD, without giving much attention to the hope of recovery.   It is hoped that on this list, we'll see stories of recovery, in addition to discussions of the day to day problems that men with BPD face.   I've created this group so that the guys who are affected may have a sense of belonging."
