bpd411.org

BPD411.org is an Internet -based information service and support group. Our purpose is to provide a safe environment for the education, healing and recovery of persons who are in a relationship with someone who exhibits traits of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Being involved with someone with BPD traits is disorienting, painful and often damaging.

Our top priority is safety within the community and safety in your personal life.

Our second priority is to assist you in your personal healing journey.

To assist you in this journey, we strongly encourage you to join our our e-mail mailing list support group with an anonymous email address. We ask that you acknowledge via email that you are a NonBP prior to activating your membership in the mailing list to assure the safety of the members of the mailing list and to prevent spam from going to the list.

This support group is available as a resource for education, support and healing. Listening to the experiences of others and sharing your own situation with those who really understand the challenges, trials and traumas of caring about someone who has traits of this disorder can be very healing. As you discover how BPD has affected your life, you will find many recurring themes and areas of commonality with the experiences of other group members who have been in similar situations. It is a true community. We can help you begin your own journey of healing and recovery, away from the chaos that accompanies this disorder. Reading the entire website or even all the books about BPD does not replace the work that is done between members on the mailing list. That's where all the real healing work is done. Don't delay, sign up today.

If you suspect that someone in your life has Borderline Personality Disorder, you should first understand the traits of this disorder. Having an official diagnosis of BPD from a mental health professional is not required for the information on this site to be helpful to you. Much of the information here is useful for partners of people with other personality disorders, people who are abusive or people who are simply difficult to get along with. It’s all about reclaiming your own personal power in appropriate, safe and healthy ways. If you feel uncomfortable diagnosing your significant other, perhaps you will feel more comfortable diagnosing yourself as a NonBP.

After joining the mailing list, we suggest that you browse this web site and read the content here. The Resources page is a topic-oriented table of contents of the web site.

The information provided here has been tailored to the unique needs and experiences of people whose lives have been affected by someone who suffers from BPD or BPD traits. We call ourselves NonBPs or Nons for short. This site is not for those suffering from the disorder. We invite you to visit one of our Partners' sites. Those suffering from the disorder will find no healing here, just as NonBPs find no healing in many of the sites for borderlines.

We don't have unlimited resources, however we do offer some Services for NonBPs.
