I’m so convinced I have borderline personality disorder cause of all the intrusive thoughts and the fact it’s makes me wanna do them( my intrusive thoughts is telling me to) I’ve been taking quizzes all day on line tomsee if I have any other mental Illnesses that serial killers might have. I get very annoyed easily and mad which is a symptom of BPD, I’m so scared :((((

This is classic OCD. I struggle from so many intrusive thoughts and those intrusive thoughts tell me I want to do them. But you are giving into a compulsion by taking these quizzes and looking online. Take no more quizzes, limit yourself. I know this sounds so uncomfortable and will suck but it will makes things better. I promise.

I’m 99% sure you do not have BPD. Ocd makes you terrified of everything including being terrified you don’t just have OCD

I used to do that! Okay. People with BPD do not take quizzes online to see if they have it ... I used to google for houuurrrsssss on end - this is a classic symptom of OCD. Have you started to see a therapist yet? Getting it out and having someone understand and help you deal with thoughts on a regular basis is so helpful and important! You get mad easily and react because your body is in fight or flight mode (from the anxiety and OCD) I agree to stop taking quizzes. Do something else to busy yourself, read, go for walk, call a friend, get creative with art supplies, play a game, bake... those have been things that helped ground me when I was having a really hard time.

I’m so sorry Naeun I misunderstood your post! :( I had thought you meant bipolar. I didn’t want to reassure you but I wanted you to know that even if you did that it’s okay. But also notice... you are compulsively taking tests ?! Ocd likes to you to think it’s you working and not it... I think the more you see it as it works the less scared you will be about the other possibilities. If it makes you feel better, I do the same thing... I don’t want another thing wrong with me either.... But truth be told there is nothing really “wrong” with us. We are just wired a little differently than most, and maybe there are good qualities in that too ?.

BPD is common comorbid with OCD, they have some overlapping symptoms. My doctor has been talking to me about that possibility as well. There is a spectrum to BPD. Initially I was pretty distraught because I didn’t want one more “thing wrong with me”. The verdict is still out. But whether you do or don’t that doesn’t mean anything about you personally... it’s all about you getting better regardless of what the tests say. Detach from that idea, so what if I have that... who cares... (Still share your concerns with your therapist) but know that you don’t have to attach to the upsetting thoughts.

I read bpd symptoms and I sound like some of them so now I'm scared too! ?

^bipolar disorder

@Dee that’s my fear I don’t want anything else wrong with me because I have severe harm ocd and *trigger some serial killers had borderline personality disorder so you can see where my fear is coming from... and gosh I don’t wanna worry about having bipolar now also ... it’s diff for other people.. I know you can be strong about t but no matter how hard I try I can’t.
