They should include this in textbooks haha; it's an apt summary.
Sounds like a horrible emptiness to have...and even more horrible for the unfortunates who get tangled up with people who have this.
Good work; I like how you use your knowledge to spread some education around.

p.s.

"your dead to me now" [you're]
"and I wil let you stay" [will]

I have a lot of friends with BPD and this wraps them up quite well. You should submit this.

I really like this & I thoroughly understand it.
Your poem pretty much sums the disorder up.
I was diagnosed with it and I know that's how it is.
Great write!

OMG that sounds like someone I know and love...but he has BPD...or does he?
My heart sank when I read it because I know all too well those words and the treatment.
My work called seasons of the soul almost mimmic this.

Perfect, absolutely perfect description!! The go, stay, go, stay is soooooooo typical, as you surely know from the result of your work.
You have captured the ins and outs of the disorder "right on"!

oh boy... this reminds me of the relationship i'm in right now... i like how you put that kind of abstract situation into words :)

Very good definition of Borderline Personality. It reminds me of a book I read in my studies...I hate you, don't leave me!! When I first took the MMPII test, it was suggested that I was also borderline in addition to my bipolar disorder. But after intense psychotherapy and a desire to want and help others proved that while I have intense romantic relationships that fizzle fast, I am not borderline simply because I don't cling to something that is dead. Anyways( I tend to ramble) your poem is great. It's awesome to see another writer who wishes to help people from the experiences they've had. I am adding you as a friend because I definitely want to read more. GREAT PIECE!!! Kudos to you for your very gifted insight to the disordered mind

I agree with mr lopez and berxers and myself. I can feel the conflict.

[Mr. Lopez]

On the brink of insanity we teater, all the while trying to look as if this thing called love is making it all worth it. Sometimes the hardest love/hate battle is with ourselves. Loved the chaos of commitment.

Confusing conflicting situations with a significant other? Or just a personality disorder as stated in the title aha

Good job, keep it up!
