    Megan Fox and Borderline Personality Disorder Reexamined

    September 25, 2009 / 12 Comments

    A little while ago, I wrote a piece on Megan Fox and her statements in an interview that she was considering the possibility that she had a “borderline” personality. I got several reactions that she probably didn’t know what she was talking about or that she was merely emulating/reflecting her “heroine” – Marilyn Monroe. (Fox has a tattoo of Marilyn Monroe on the right forearm). I read the interview with Fox in “Rolling Stone” this month and found that, if she was being honest in the interview, there is a distinct possibility that she does have BPD. Here are some of the salient points… In “When Hope is Not Enough,”…

    Megan Fox, a new celeb on the BPD-o-meter

    September 3, 2009 / 10 Comments

    Sure, she’s the hottest thing right now… Yet Megan Fox admits in a recent interview that there’s something wrong with her mentally… ‘I could end up like that because I constantly struggle with the idea that I think I’m a borderline personality – or that I have bouts of mild schizophrenia. I definitely have some kind of mental problem and I haven’t pinpointed what it is,” she aired to the mag. Could she be the first celebrity to “come out of the closet” and admitting to having BPD? It would be nice for the BPD community if she did. Most of the celebs say they have “bipolar disorder” (or depression)…

    Courtney Love’s BPD-meter now getting in the red zone

    August 5, 2009 / No Comments

    It’s been a while since I wrote a post about a celebrity with possible BPD. To see past posts about celebrities with BPD (possible but not for sure) click here. I saw a picture a few days ago of Courtney Love. Geez, someone give the girl a pound cake and make sure she eats it. While Courtney herself says it’s the financial stress, it sure looks a lot like an eating disorder. Here is an article about it… Yikes!

    Lindsay Lohan and BPD (maybe but not for sure)

    April 12, 2009 / 11 Comments

    OK readers, now is the time to revisit Lindsay (I think I was spelling her first name wrong for a while there) Lohan and possible BPD. She has all of the classic signs of the disorder. I was struck by this quote: “Sam and Lindsay are speaking,” the source tells PEOPLE. “But Sam has begged Lindsay to get help.” “Lindsay, despite appearances, is insecure and has relied on Samantha and their relationship to build her up,” explains the pal. “Lindsay barely sleeps, which explains a lot of her behavior. She’s exhausted. She can’t even sit down for a minute without pacing around the room. It’s really sad.” Sam is begging…

    July 17, 2008 / 1 Comment

    Well, I haven’t written anything EVER about Andy Dick… but I read an article today that puts him high on the celebrity BPD meter… I also watch the YouTube clip of him being thrown off of Jimmy Kimmel’s show. Here is the article and the clip: Comedian Andy Dick arrested in drug, sexual battery case in Murrieta From the Associated Press Andy Dick, 42, was arrested today on suspicion of drug use and sexual battery in Murrieta.
