Bellman’s Syndrome – BPD and Chronic Pain
A link between chronic pain and BPD/PTSD: Over the years in treating BPD or PTSD I have observed a syndrome that my fellow clinicians now refer to as the “”Bellman Syndrome”” a title I modestly [accepted]. It is simply stated thus; chronic pain and medication addiction are directly associated with BPD or PTSD in a complex interaction. No related posts.

Healing vs. Stopping the Pain
Interesting article from a former sufferer of borderline personality disorder on healing versus stopping the pain. A quick blurb: So, in healing, it is necessary to face the pain of your past, the pain that you are currently in and the pain that you will come to know when you can see how the choices you’ve made to protect yourself have effected not only your life but the lives of those around you, especially the lives of those who tried to care, to love and to help you. There is a profound grief that must be waded through in the quest for one’s authentic self. http://www.borderlinepersonality.ca/borderhealing.htm No related posts.

A Classic Case of BPD
Article by a “cured” BP. The most interesting thing is this: The most important thing is, Do not hospitalize a person with borderline personality disorder for any more than 48 hours. My self-destructive episodes – one leading right into another – came out only after my first and subsequent hospital admissions, after I learned the system was usually obligated to respond. Nothing that had happened to me before being admitted to a psychiatric unit for the first time could even approach the severity of the episodes that followed. Should you hospitalize your BP? Maybe not. http://ps.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/49/2/173 No related posts.
