My daughter, 25, has just been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. She and I are going to the same Psychologist. He told me that I did not have this problem--just anxiety. My daughter is reading a book about the subject, I HATE YOU, DON'T LEAVE ME. In the chapter that she's on right now,...

I'll just quickly throw my two cents worth in. For staying married just for the sake of the kids is not the way to go in my opinion. I stayed in an abusive marriage for 18 years because I didn't believe in divorce and because of the three kids. I found out, though, that this was wrong. It sends the ...

David. Now that I'm a little more awake, I wanted to respond a second time to your post. As for the two friends' backgrounds: age about the same, both Catholic, otherwise not much in common. As for my anxiety being the cause of being considered high-maintenance: great thought! Hadn't even thought ab...

FrancesL. Thank you for the smile (about understanding men). Nice start to the day. I appreciate your words. That is my goal--to be not passive and not aggressive. I would like to have friends and be a friend back. It is not my goal in life to be a burden to anyone or cause trouble. A lot of times t...

Thank you, both, for your responses. I want to be assertive, not aggressive. I was in an abusive relationship for 18 years, so I have had to learn how to stand up for myself. I just don't want to overdo it and scare people away. It's a weird situation. My Psychologist said that I have a problem with...

I was told by a very special man in my life, several years ago, that I was high-maintenance. My understanding, at the time, was that a high-maintenance gal was one who wanted to spend money on a lot of expensive clothes, dinners out, niceties for herself and the like. Today, I was told, once again, ...

Wow! Not sure where to start on this one. I guess to start with, it sounds like the Program is just what you need as far as thought processes go. But, it's not an overnight thing. It takes time. I have had anxiety most of my life, but didn't know that that's what it was or that it was a problem. I j...

Wow! How I wish I had some sort of answers for you, but at the moment I have nothing. I'm 47 and divorced. Been hurt by men in many ways all of my life. I have started going to a Psychologist recently. He gave me psychological and personality tests. They showed that when it came to men, sex and rela...

I'm looking for some assistance. I have gone through the Program three times in the past and now am starting it again. I am also seeing a Psychologist (Friday will be my fourth visit). I am divorced and have three children. My oldest (my daughter) lives 5 minutes away from me. She has a lot of troub...
