Borderline is an online support group for those who have been professionally diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder aka BPD. BPD is NOT the same as Bipolar Disorder, but often co-exists, so those who are dual diagnosed are welcome too. This list was created to be a safe haven where a borderline can express themselves freely without fear of condemnation or rejection. This list is restricted, which means ONLY those who have been diagnosed with BPD are welcome. Please, no friends, spouses or family. There are other lists for them. This list is also fully moderated, meaning all posts have to be approved by a moderator before they are passed on through. This is to protect everyone's safety and privacy. This group does NOT replace therapy, but rather, to be an addition to anyone's treatment plan. BPD is not a disease, it is believed to be a Biochemical disorder. This support group is a place to be yourself, get full support, as well as to learn about the various aspects of this complex disorder.

This group only has a few basic rules: Lurking is STRONGLY discouraged. This is a group where we prefer ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT. You will be required to post at least ONCE A MONTH, as well as checking in on the group's database once a month. No Mail status is NOT permitted, except with prior authorization from the Group Owner. Members please treat each other with kindness, emphathy and respect. Active involvement within the group is encouraged as well. Please try to post at least once a week to maintain active involvement.

WARNING: If you should receive a private email asking you to leave the group, or saying rude, nasty things, as well as impersonating other group members or one of the moderators or the group owner. Notify the Group Owner immediately as there is a troll impersonating the former owner of this group that gets her "kicks" out of doing this to people.
