I was at church one evening and two elderly women were working with me to get my life back on track. I closed my eyes and drifted off. They said that I was another person (I forget the name) and that this person was up to evil and no good in my life. It even had another voice. I have not had any counseling but I do not feel I have another personality.

I have BPD. Personality disorders cannot be treated with medication, but rather with therapy. The worst part for me is controlling spending. Many folks with BPD have an addiction: sex, alcohol, drugs, gambling, spending. Thanks for bring attention to this disorder.
