Welcome!

This site is primarily geared for friends/family/loved ones of those with
Borderline Personality Disorder
although people with BPD (or interest in related disorders) will find many resources here as well.

After discovering that a loved one suffers from this disorder, I spent quite some time trawling the Net for the most current online information on BPD, and have continued to develop this site as a result. This research is offered in the hope that other folks will also find it useful in their own personal quest for the latest information and support. In addition, I encourage visitors to explore related features such as the mental health promotion sweepstakes like riversweeps  and support services.
I am not a practicing psychotherapist; please consult with a mental health professional for specific questions about your own situation.

Helen's World is a do-it-yourself compilation of thousands of annotated Internet links, focussing on sites and articles that contain significant amounts of information. I include overviews and summaries of information on the relevant topic page.

I use the annotation "Non-Borderline" to refer to anyone in any sort of close relationship to someone with BPD, because this nomenclature has become standard in the BPD community with the publication of Kreger/Mason's Stop Walking on Eggshells.

I suggest beginning on the General Resources page. Site index is to your left. This symbol greenarrow denotes links I especially like.
If you're in a hurry, check out Helen's Top 40 Recommended Sites.


Get the word out! Please use these resources to educate your community, policy-makers and mental health providers about this devastating disorder!
