I find these songs to hit the nail on the head of BPD! :P The whole CD is fantastic!!

4. UNWELL

By R. Thomas

ALL DAY

STARING AT THE CEILING MAKING

FRIENDS WITH SHADOWS ON MY WALL

ALL NIGHT

I'M HEARING VOICES TELLING ME

THAT I SHOULD GET SOME SLEEP

BECAUSE TOMORROW MIGHT BE GOOD

FOR SOMETHING

HOLD ON

I'M FEELING LIKE I'M HEADED FOR A

BREAKDOWN

I DON'T KNOW WHY

I'M NOT CRAZY I'M JUST A LITTLE UNWELL

I KNOW RIGHT NOW YOU CAN'T TELL

BUT STAY AWHILE AND MAYBE THEN YOU'LL SEE

A DIFFERENT SIDE OF ME

I'M NOT CRAZY I'M JUST A LITTLE IMPAIRED

I KNOW RIGHT NOW YOU DON'T CARE

BUT SOON ENOUGH YOU'RE GONNA THINK OF ME

AND HOW I USED TO BE

SEE ME

TALKING TO MYSELF IN PUBLIC

AND DODGING GLANCES ON THE TRAIN

I KNOW

I KNOW THEY'VE ALL BEEN TALKING 'BOUT ME

I CAN HEAR THEM WHISPER

AND IT MAKES ME THINK THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG

WITH ME

OUT OF ALL THE HOURS THINKING

SOMEHOW

I'VE LOST MY MIND

(CHORUS)

TALKING IN MY SLEEP

PRETTY SOON THEY'LL COME TO GET ME

THEY'LL BE TAKING ME AWAY

5. COLD

By R. Thomas and M. Serletic

I WILL DO WITHOUT

THE SPACES IN BETWEEN

IF YOU CAN TELL ME NOW

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE

YOU HAVE BEEN FOUND OUT

I HAVE BEEN DECEIVED

BY THE ONE THAT I NEED

TELL ME WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO COLD

HOW'D YOU GET SO HIGH

WHY YOU KEEPING ME LOW

YOU DON'T KNOW

TELL ME HOW WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT LAST

YOU'RE READY TO FLY

I'M READY TO CRASH

DON'T GO

YOU WILL GO WITHOUT

THE BETTER PART OF ME

THERE WILL BE NO DOUBT

WHAT THIS ALL COULD MEAN

YOU WILL BE FOUND OUT

I CAN NOT BELIEVE

IN THE ONE THAT I NEED

(CHORUS)

TELL ME WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO COLD

TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT YOU I DON'T KNOW

It's off their new one, More Than You Think You Are. No, hearing voices isn't part of BPD, not unless you count the negetive self talk that comes with it. I love all their music, I think the lead singer has psychological issues :P because he writes amazing songs about feelings, and the trouble you can get into with them. I also love Bent & Leave (Mad Season), Long Day & Push (Yourself Or Someone Like You);

Push ~

She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough

I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in

And I don't know if I've ever been really loved

By a hand that's touched me, well I feel like something's

Gonna give

And I'm a little bit angry, well

This ain't over, no not here, not while I still need you

Around

You don't owe me, we might change

Yeah we just might feel good

[chorus]

I wanna push you around, I will, I will

I wanna push you down, I will, I will

I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted

I will

She said I don't know why you ever would lie to me

Like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is

Gonna hurt ya

And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me

You couldn't stand to be near me

When my face don't seem to want to shine

Cuz it's a little bit dirty well

Don't just stand there, say nice things to me

I've been cheated I've been wronged, and you

You don't know me, I can't change

I won't do anything at all

[chorus]

Oh but don't bowl me over

Just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so

Crazy, crazy

Don't rush this baby, don't rush this baby

[chorus]

We all have our tastes and preferences when it comes to that. I kind of go through "phases" where I will get stuck on a particular band or type of music for awhile, but I am generally a rock chick, with a little bit of country on the side. I saw Creed and Incubus play live, they were fantastic! Right now I am also listening to George Canyon (he was on Nashville Star (US) ~ he won second place) :D He grew up in my hubs hometown! :D

Cool. I am generally a "rock chick" too. I also really like jazz. Rock and jazz. And, I like Creed and Incubus as well. I go through phases like that. I'm in a death metal phase right now...LOL.

Hearing voices can be part of bpd, any mental illness can be part of bpd. Borderline - meaning being on the borderline of either psychosis or neurosis. and many other of the mental illnesses. Sometimes in a psychotic episode people may hear a voice from outside their head to one side or many voices to either side of their head which they believe to be real. Many of us as bpd's know the voice/s we hear are not real unless having an episode such as the one mentioned and know it as the inner critic.

i hope this makes sense. ;)

Yes, good point. The more I am learning about this disorder, I find that being a Borderline has some very specific characteristics, but also that other conditions can come along side it, such as depression, anxiety and even shizophrenia and delusions. The whole issue of stalking stems from that step across the line from neurosis into psychosis. The scary part of that, is that the Borderline can't even begin to see that his/her behavior is abnormal. It's like we have so much trouble recognising personal boundaries and limits of ourselves and others.

I sometimes wonder why I take things to the most ultimate extremes, like overkill, when most people around me are like "ok, there is something wrong with you". I just don't see the point in doing things half way!LOL, Thus the impulsivity.

I love MB 20's music, because all the songs just seem to speak to my heart, and there is always a hopeful side to it. That is what I need ~ hope!!! :)

Bent ~ Mad Season, MB20

If I fall along the way

Pick me up and dust me off

And if I get too tired to make it

Be my breath so I can walk

If I need some other love

Give me more than I can stand

And when my smile gets old and faded

Wait around I'll smile again

Shouldn't be so complicated

Just hold me and then

Just hold me again

Can you help me I'm bent

I'm so scared that I'll never

Get put back together

You're breaking me in

And this is how we will end

With you and me bent

If I couldn't sleep could you sleep

Could you paint me better off

Could you sympathize with my needs

I know you think I need a lot

I started out clean but I'm jaded

Just phoning it in

Just breaking the skin

Can you help me I'm bent

I'm so scared that I'll never

Get put back together

You're breaking me in

And this is how we will end

With you and me bent

Start bending me

It's never enough

I feel all your pieces

Start bending me

Keep bending me until I'm completely broken in

Shouldn't be so complicated

Just touch me and then

Just touch me again

Can you help me I'm bent

I'm so scared that I'll never

Get put back together

You're breaking me in

And this is how we will end

With you and me bent

Can you help me I'm bent

I'm so scared that I'll never

Get put back together

You're breaking me in

And this is how we will end

With you and me bent
