I am planning on removing broken links and working on things over the next month so hopefully things here will be brighter by the end of the summer. I have taken a chance and have created a page here all about me. This site came in to creation in several ways. I am a survivor of child abuse, both physical and sexual abuse as well as the emotional abuse that came hand in hand with what they did to me. I also am healing and surviving from a sexual assault. After the assault, I spent many hours searching the web for information on how to survive this horrible thing that had happened. I found lots of information on prevention and lots of technical things but not a whole lot on surviving. This was back in late 1995. So, when I found geocities and saw that they offered a free web page service, I was excited. It gave me the possiblity to create the type of site that I had been searching for. So, Mollykat's Resources for Survivors was created.

Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment Phillip W. Long, M.D. Updated: Oct. 6, 1997 Contents Medical Treatment Basic Principles Hospitalization Antipsychotic Drugs ... Group Therapy Medical Treatment Basic Principles Persons with borderline personality disorder are very vulnerable, and usually over-react to stress (especially medical illness). Borderline patients usually form unstable and intense "love-hate" relationships, thus they view their medical caretakers as either "all-good", or if any problems occur, "all-bad". Initially they may view their physician as the "rescuer", then suddenly switch and view their physician as the "villain". Therefore, the physician must avoid falling into the trap of being idealized by the patient, and then being pitted against other caregivers who the patient hates. The borderline patient's anger usually alienates potential caregivers, yet these patients make frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment. Thus it is vitally important that the physician tolerate the patient's episodic angry outbursts to demonstrate to the patient that the physician will not abandon the patient (as the patient angrily expects and fears). Recent research has shown that medications can significantly relieve the suffering of borderline patients when used in combination with psychotherapy. Hospitalization Due to their suicide attempts, or brief psychotic episodies, borderline patients frequently are hospitalized. Both admission and discharge from the hospital emergency room are usually difficult, due to the borderline patient's power struggles with caregivers and family. Usually all that can be accomplished in the emergency ward is crisis intervention, and immediate discharge home with return to the care of the outpatient therapist. If the patient has no therapist, the emergency ward staff should attempt to find an outpatient therapist. Otherwise, without an outpatient therapist, borderline patients usually keep coming back to the emergency ward in crisis after crisis. The emergency ward staff must be careful not to let borderline patients pit the hospital staff against the outpatient therapist.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a chronic, debilitating biological disorder affecting the limbic system of the brain that controls emotions. People with BPD have difficulty regulating their emotions. Thus BPD is also known as emotional regulation disorder (ERD). Many people with BPD live well into recovery due primarily to medications first and therapy. Since the BPD is a medical disorder, proper medications must come before therapy. 2% of adults have this disorder. 20% present in psychiatric hospitals.

Borderline Personality Disorder: To Home Page What Is It, What Causes It? How Can We Treat It? by Joel Paris, M.D. What is Borderline Personality Disorder? Personality disorders affect about 10% of the general population. This group of mental disorders is defined by maladaptive personality characteristics that have a consistent and serious effect on work and interpersonal relationships. DSM-IV defines ten categories of personality disorder. Of these, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is the most frequent in clinical practice. BPD is also one of the most difficult and troubling problems in all of psychiatry. The term "borderline" is a misnomer. These patients were first described sixty years ago by psychoanalysts who noted they did poorly in treatment, and therefore theorized that this is a form of pathology lying on the border between psychosis and neurosis. Although we no longer believe that patients with BPD have an underlying psychosis, the name "borderline" has stuck. A much more descriptive label would be "emotionally unstable: personality disorder." The central feature of BPD is instability, affecting patients in many sectors of their lives. Thus, borderline patients show a wide range of impulsive behaviors, particularly those that are self destructive. They are highly unstable emotionally, and develop wide mood swings in response to stressful events. Finally, BPD may be complicated by brief psychotic episodes.

What is Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)? Being a borderline feels like eternal hell. Nothing less. Pain, anger, confusion, hurt, never knowing how I'm gonna feel from one minute to the next. Hurting because I hurt those who I love. Feeling misunderstood. Analyzing everything . Nothing gives me pleasure. Once in a great while I will get "too happy" and then anxious because of that. Then I self-medicate with alcohol. Then I physically hurt myself. Then I feel guilty because of that. Shame. Wanting to die but not being able to kill myself because I'd feel too much guilt for those I'd hurt, and then feeling angry about that so I cut myself or O.D. to make all the feelings go away. Stress A woman who has BPD Therapists use a book called "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual" (DSM) to make mental health diagnoses. They've outlined nine traits that borderlines seem to have in common; the presence of five or more of them may indicate BPD. However, please note the following: Everyone has all these traits to a certain extent. Especially teenagers. These traits must be long-standing (lasting years) and persistent. And they must be intense Be very careful about diagnosing yourself or others. In fact, don't do it. Top researchers guide patients through several days of testing before they make a diagnosis.
