My girlfriend has it. I also had a roommate that had it. It's very common disorder - the most common disorder on the axes two of the DSM-4. But back to my roommate from years ago,that's how I came across her as a roommate (not my current girlfriend, but a girl I met 10 years ago that had BPD) - she wasn't paying her rent, so I let her move in with me. Then she wasn't paying me either. She had impulsive spending habits. She was renting my master bedroom from me for only 200 a month and she was working at Lenscrafters as an optometrist - and yet she still couldn't come up with the rent money on time. This old roommate of mine - she was drinking wine every night and spilling it on my carpet. She was 21 years old; I was 23. She was going out to the bars and bringing home a different guy every night. She had her legs up in the air more hours per day than a ballet dancer. This roommate of mine was also getting into street drugs like ecstasy, which that, and the drinking is the substance abuse they talk about with borderliners. Her type of personality most mirrored Diane Keaton's role in Looking for MR. Goodbar - one of the best movies that depicts a young woman with BPD, with no set identity - that I've ever seen. In the movie, by day, she's a school teacher, by night, she becomes another person.

(continued) Don't get me wrong - Jolie is hot - she's sexy - I love her - she's just borderline - that's all. Brad pit is a lucky man to have her because she is one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood and that's why he wants her to have his babies - but it comes with a rough trade-off that Pitt never saw coming. Jolie may present herself one way in public's eye, but behind closed doors, Brad Pitt sees a very different side to the personality of a person that can tell him 1 second "I hate you" (psychotic) and the next second be saying "Don't leave me" (Neurotic). That's what BPD is - in general, you are bordering between two extremes - psychotic and neurotic. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. I may not have a degree in psychology, but I do have a 4-year degree, and I am very well educated on BPD (Borderlione Personality Disorder).

No, Jolie has borderline Personality Disorder. She feels abandoned by her father when he left her and her mother years ago. Currently, she is trying to build up a network of people around her by adopting - to fill the void in her life. My girlfriend has BPD. I am an expert at spotting this type of behavior. People who say Jolie doesn't have BPD don't know what they are talking about. You have to have the eye for seeing the patter of behavior - doesn't matter how much education you have - you just have to be good at recognizing personalities - like me. Some people (like me) have that capability - and others don't! I am the expert here and I can tell you that Angelina Jolie has borderline Personality disorder. In fact,that's why she's such a great actress - she has no set identity - common with borderliners.

Vivienne is pretty and glamorous. Knox is awful, sorry. Sounds like Hans or Biff or Buff or something like that. Shiloh is a horses name, and sounds trendy, cute and teeny-bopperish to me. It's hard to believe the same woman picked Shiloh and Vivienne; not at all alike in tone.

If Jolie and Pitt were not who they are, their parenting strategies would simply be called child exploitation and neglect. With her horrid psychiatric and substance abuse history, Ms. Jolie would have significant difficulty adopting in the USA, a country she apparently feels is only good enough to buy tickets to her "films. Children do not benefit from silly platitudes and photo-ops. Has anyone noticed the impoverished content of the silly sophomoric sound bites she chirps? Angelina Jolie and the testiclularly challenged Brad Pitt have objectified their children. These "do-gooders" are narcissistic, self-involved, insensitive, shallow, opportunistic robots. Angelina Jolie is one of the most borderline and manipulative adrenaline junkies I have ever seen. She can't seem to be satisfied with any stable zip code or demographic. And Brad is a silly chameleon. He has become a peripheral, ancillary national buffoon.

The chaotic, rootless, inconsistent, and unstructured circus-like life these children are leading is deeply disturbing. If these precious children are not out being used to support an image or photo shopped, they are being cloistered in some large, temporary, vacuous domicile. No stable playmates, predictability, surroundings, or even time zone. Unfortunately, it is doubtful that Ms. Jolie's compulsive child collecting and need for media attention and aggrandizement will be appeased any time soon. Brad Pitt apparently is suffering from some type of pre senile dementia, milk toast syndrome, or complex combination of both. Mrs. Doubtfire looks more effective than Mr. Pitt does these days. Optimally, Jolie's next compulsive life phase will involve rescuing some type of endangered species so that there will be minimal damage to the human beings she steps over with such dismissal and entitlement.

Beyond the Photo Op-

You're right. I have a close relative who is a licensed psychiatrist and said that several of her colleagues have discussed the presence of personality disorders in famous people. She said Angelina is definitely Borderline Personality. The self-mutilation, impulsiveness in activities not seen as "good" for you such as chronic drug use and promiscuity, feelings of worthlessness, frantic fear of abandonment, sudden change in lifestyle/career choices, instability in relationships, idealization and then devaluation of people they get close to (Hello, Billy Bob).
Yes, I did think that she honed in on Brad (not "stole", okay) for her own ego. But after knowing about her psych problems, it became clear that she clung onto Brad for fear of being alone with herself, because she knows when she's alone, she spirals down again. It can't be easy living with someone with such a disorder.

P.S. I didn't come here to look up gossip on Angelina. When I found out about her psychological problems, I did a search and I ended up here.

As for those fans who say she's too beautiful for this world and Brad chose her , and rightfully so, based on looks, God bless you. I don't throw around that phrase either. I really mean it. It's gotta be painful to see the world like that. These fans must believe that if it came down between Angelina and themselves, their spouses would go for Angelina, and they're spouses can't be blamed b/c they're not as "pretty". It's contradictory when you consider how these fans adore her charitable work, seeing her as being not vain, but yet love her mostly because of her popularity and appearance. Anyone with such strong feelings needs to re-evaluate. I sincerely doubt such people have as much love for Mia Farrow, who has worked tirelessly for charitable organizations and is working on raising awareness on Darfur, or Ghandi. Maybe they aren't "pretty" enough, or "hot!"

Beyond the photo-op

Let me guess? you are an angry ex-wife. LOL. I do NOT believe Angie broke up a marriage because someone OUTSIDE of the marriage does NOT have the power to BREAK UP a marriage between two people who are IN the marriage. Those two had already thrown in the towel. Jennifer is mad because Brad is with a more attractive woman who doesn't mind having children around. Most if not all celebrities are full of themselves anyway.

why do all of you concern yourself with the comings and goings of celebrities that most will never meet and few understand they change marriages the way most people change cars and that is ok thats the way they live its not how people in the real world live and everyone of you should realize that and stop leaving such stupid comments on these things most of you act like you are personally envolved in their lives and you really arent the sad truth of it is these are all just opinions of people who obviously have nothing more important going on in their own lives and so they want to make judgements on how other people live to make themselves feel better by trying to make others feel worse that is a sad comment of how our society is now . you people really need to get a life does any of these things really concern you NO let them live their life however they are going to live it it is really no concern of the publics yeah i agree that Brad really sucked the way he did JA but once again that is no ones concern but theirs i think she is lucky that it happened before they had kids together and it got really ugly so everyone out there get a real life of your own and then you wont be so concerned about people that you are never going to meet how about global warming the electiong coming up oil prices the envirnment these are real things that should concern us not what the celebrities are doing grow up people this is high school stuff

I think that Angelina-Brad, is nothing more than a modern day, Mia-Woody copycat life.

why dont all you of you grow up and stop writing all the rubbish you put in these things.

Regardless of who this article is or isn't about; my comment is for those people who have decided to dissect the intentions, mental health, and private family life of people you do not personally know; where the only information you have on them is what is gossip fodder in the tabloids. Lordy, people you need to get lives and grow up abit.

I don't think some posts are necessarily "passionate" - These celebrities are constantly in our face, and we can't help but form some type of opinion or impression of them. When children are involved, maybe people feel more "concerned" than usual. Most people like to see examples of happy families.

I've noticed that individuals often refer to celebrities as an example of something, because everyone has heard of them and knows a little about them. And, it's easier to refer to someone, as an example, who is KNOWN; than to refer to someone, as an example, who is not known.

Who would EVER actually WANT to be famous???? It must be horrible.

I used to like Angelina. But, I feel concerned that she really does have a personality disorder. NPDs (narcissistic personality disorder) can really be mean, controlling and self-centered. I hope it's not true. I don't think Brad and Jennifer were ever meant for each other. From the beginning I thought that was a mismatch. I hope the children get Brad's healthy personality. If it's true about Angelina's personality disorder, only prayer can heal her.

It's very sad if she is mean to Brad. I pray that they truly have a blessed family and treat each other with love.

Beyond the Photo-Op you are so right! i know for a fact that these children are already having problems and Brad is frustrated but i promise in the months to come there will be a big change in that household that everyone who posted comments on their future of their children will be surprised.Brad is not happy, he is putting a front because even though Angelina tells everyone their love is good it is not, she is as controlling as a robot. I don't blame her father stateting she had mental problems, he was telling the truth. Brad already regrets getting together with Angelina but you can't tread water backwards whats done is done! revenge will be sweet for Jennifer. Go Jen!! Note to Angelina stop torturing these children and stop using them as Pawns!! Your sick get help!
