BPDRecovery is a site that focuses on recovering from Borderline Personality Disorder. We are a non-discriminatory website which means that all individuals are welcome - whether you've been formally diagnosed or simply recognize yourself or someone you know in the diagnostic criteria, you are welcome here!
For the sake of clarity, we define "recovery" as "healthy, happy living." The tips, techniques and tools offered in this site are intended for everyone - BPD or NON - and may be able to help you achieve healthy, happy living.
This site was founded in 2001 by a recovered Borderline - Ash - as a result of the ever-increasing need to get the word out that recovery from BPD is possible. It's not easy and it doesn't happen overnight but it is possible! The site is managed by a capable volunteer staff who are committed to furthering the tenets of BPDRecovery.com.
This is a safe arena for those with mental illnesses and disorders (specifically BPD) to share concerns, voice opinions, seek like-minded individuals, work toward recovery, discuss medications and therapy approaches, and explore the impact of their illness(es) have had on their life and the lives of their loved ones. As mentioned, you need not have a formal diagnosis to participate or benefit from the resources offered here. All are welcome.
Regardless of the type of therapy you've chosen or may be considering choosing - psychoanalysis, EMDR, DBT, CBT or something else entirely - this site is here to help you deal with Borderline Personality Disorder issues. As a peer-support group, we offer support, discussion, tips, advice and encouragement.
All visitors are welcome to submit questions via email to ash @ bpdrecovery.com. Please limit your email to 250 words or less; anything longer will not be read due to time contstraints. Due to the volume of inquiries received, we regretfully cannot guarantee a personal, private response but if your query is of a topic which would be beneficial to the masses, it will be published anonymously - along with the response - on the website.
