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 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!
