Is this part of borderline personality disorder?

Question

My husband has been diagnosed with BPD. He tells me that he has many personalities in his head . One time I repeated something annoying to him and he responded "we are all annoyed when you repeat yourself"

Is that part of BPD?

Answer 1

i would suggest that he get a second opinion, as it sounds more serious than just BPD.

IT SOUNDS LIKE HE IS DID. JUST GOOGLE THE  DID AND SEE IF HE MEETS THE CRITERA

Answer 2

That sounds more like multiple personality disorder to me. I was diagnosed with BPD myself in my early 20's. BPD is characterized by extreme emotions, black and white thinking, feelings of emptiness, impulsive behavior, etc. Also, feelings of abandonment and frantic attempts to keep that person from abandoning you or pushing them away, etc.

Feelings of emptiness as well.

Hello,

While this doesn't sound like a BPD behavior, that doesn't mean his diagnosis is incorrect.  For information and help coping with BPD in your husband consider checking www.bpdfamily.org

Answer 5

I have BPD, I haven't spoken to someone else referring to myself in the third person. I have referred to myself in self-talk as "we" or "us," like, "we have to go to the store," or "we have to take the garbage out," but I have never referred to myself as "we" in conversations with others.

   That doesn't necessarily apply to your hubby, though. To each his own...

Answer 6

No, he is describing multiple/dissociative personality disorder. People with BPD are often manipulative to get their own way.
