Triggering (Weight Figures): developing BPD

[Em0bxy]

I was told that I could be developing borderline personality disorder, and that's scaring me. My dad already says I have DID when I don't and makes fun of me for having "multiple personalities". Now I'd just have a disordered personality...I'm too young for the actual diagnosis, otherwise my doctor said she'd diagnose me with it. Im working out heavily every day until my birthday to see if there's a difference in my weight while I starve myself(losing weight, not gaining muscle). Right now Im about 160 pounds, I want to drop 35 pounds by my 13th birthday. I'm 5'4 so it'd be a healthy weight, and my birthday is in September, and its almost april right now, so it's not unreasonable, right?

Hi, I have borderline personality disorder, it took me years to get a diagnosis. Originally I was diagnosed with unspecified adult personality and behaviour disorder. Here in the UK borderline personality disorder is now called EUPD (emotionally unstable personality disorder). Usually for a diagnosis of BPD/EUPD the person being diagnosed has to have from what I can remember/I think 6 out of 8 of the symptoms/behaviours associated with BPD/EUPD.
As for wanting to loose weight I don't think starving yourself is a good idea,. As starving yourself really is not a good idea, your body needs food and a certain amount of calories each day in order to stay healthy etc theres nothing wrong with wanting be healthier and eating healthier foods etc, you are still growing and starving yourself could do damage to you in the long term, maybe contact a Dr or nutritionist to get some advice?

I have a drs appointment friday, so I might speak about it then.

That might be a good idea. Maybe ask the dr about a referral to a dietician or nutritionist
