Mental health professionals estimate approximately 1.6% of the population meets criteria for borderline personality disorder (BPD), so chances are you have at least one friend with BPD. Unfortunately, the borderline personality disorder symptoms and behaviors associated: such as manipulation, self-harm, and emotions like an intense rollercoaster--can make staying friends difficult. Since we already did a video on things your friend with depression or anxiety wants you to know, we thought we cover one on BPD too. Hopefully, you will find this video helpful.

I suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder 18 years ago as a teenage. Got diagnosed with BPD. Spent my whole life fighting BPD. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma

@@allybailey2045 It would be a really sad life staying away from people that you love because it's an effort from both sides when you have BPD. You have to work on yourself but also your friends, if they are your friends, should be understanding and patient as hard as it is to be that way when working with someone who has BPD. I have been recently diagnosed with BPD and it's really hard. I isolate myself when I feel like everyone hates me (and I have no reason to think these things), I push people away and I hurt them sometimes but they are trying to understand and they reach out to make sure I am okay when I do these things. If you have friends that love you, they will reinforce that and make sure they reassure you of their love because unfortunately, we need that. It's really hard sometimes because of the constant battle within our own minds to see that the thoughts we have are fabricated and what we think they are thinking, they aren't and we couldn't possibly know that because those thoughts of what they think of you are fabricated. We just have to learn how to fabricate positive thoughts for a positive reinforcement and it's a real struggle sometimes.

Truth Troll or the BPD person is just too toxic and the friend can't handle it anymore. Persons with BPD are not the only one whose mental health is important. The friend's mental health is also important and maybe getting away from the BPD person is the way to get out of the toxicity specially if the BPD person refuses to get professional help. sometimes, you've done everything you have and you're already drained that the only option for your own sanity is to walk away from the toxicity.

@@bonitabanana9342 I've been in this situation unfortunately. I'm not sure if they had BPD or some other illness (but with the symptoms and other things I know about them, I think they have BPD along with a lot of other mental issues) but it was very toxic for me. I wanted to stay their friend and for the longest time I denied that they were manipulative or toxic to me, because I wanted to be their friend and help them so badly. At some point, after coming to terms with it several times, I finally decided that I couldn't handle it anymore. The worst part was, she acted as if she didn't care at all, didn't try to say or do anything. It was over text and I explained she was toxic and some other reasons, and after asking a few questions, she complied and we haven't spoken since. It was heartbreaking on my end, especially as it seemed as if she didn't care. It's difficult for her to show emotions and she's extremely depressed, along with other things, and so I never really knew if she cared or not, or if she just felt as if everyone gave up on her. It hurt knowing and thinking these things too, and I think I was kind of harsh on her, looking back on it. I was emotional and done with it too though. I still hope she's doing better, and although I might not care in the same way anymore, I still hope that she's able to heal. (Sorry for the long read 😅 and life story)

But, our mental illness is different. And it cannot always be about us. That’s when our partners leave because the harsh truth is that we can be selfish. None of this is to degrade our experiences or make us look bad. But we need to see the stress we are putting our partners through. So thank you to everyone who gave us a chance and truly tried to understand us 💕

I'm the friend with BPD And I can say one thing. My best friend has been my friend for 6 years. At first, I didn't know I had this until I was diagnosed. So our relationship was a rollercoaster. Then one day, I apologized and explained to her about that disorder. She didn't complain about it and just listened. She's a sweetheart and when I go too deep in my thoughts, she saves me from drowning. When I feel like exploding. She helps me breath. She never used triggering words, as she knew about my last relationship. She stood by my side and I'm so happy to have her.

I guess it's because people with BPD learn social cues and how to fit in in the same way that people without it do, it just warps their perceptions initially because the condition makes it hard to be a chill spiritual oasis most times. They don't learn how people are supposed to react normally or "in rest mode" initially, other people's reactions are always of one or two types, never being a "normal" one. But as they get older they learn normalsy because at some point they will have contact with normalsy. Besides, understanding what the person is going through helps a lot on cutting the vicious cycle of rejection, because it gets rid of part of the rejection so the person can get a tad of normalsy Anyways, that's a supposition.

Probably it's because personality disorders don't work the same way the other disorders do. See, BPD is "egodystonic" (i.e, there's something wrong but there's a disconnect between that and themselves), so there aren't too many treatments (besides DBT) or experts who know how to help those who have the diagnosis. Most treatments are for egosyntonic conditions, as treatment for those are usually voluntary.

I really love this because it doesn’t paint my disorder as something horrific and awful. I think something people forget is how strongly we love and care for others, we are probably the best friends a person can have just because of how loving, caring, giving and validating we are because of our past experiences and traumas. We feel stronger, we love harder. It’s not ALL bad, we just work very differently.

All right. I guess I’ll take your word for it. Unfortunately the BPD in my life was my mother who emotionally drained me and regularly terrorized me when I was growing up. Her abuse of me continued until she died when I was 46. I understand she was acting out of her own fear and pain, but it has left me unwilling to get close to anyone who identifies as having BPD or who behaves like her.

@@beloved_christi3625 no worries! And yes to both. Sometimes we don't know when we're being abusive, reason why education about the condition, talking a lot (when possible and if it doesn't trigger a bad reaction, and crying while talking is totally normal, believe me... I have ninjas in front of my eyes that do their magic randomly. I just stopped to feel ashamed if someone else see me crying, is like what? Is natural) with that person, in order to have a perspective of their perception of life. I've been verbally and physically abusive. With guys. My poor and dear brother, my lovely stepfather, and a douchebag in highschool received the jackpot. My relatives verbally (well I broken some plates into my bro's feet but didn't hit his body with any of them, BTW he's 13y older. My stepfather was an inch about to be lift from the floor and throw, kicked and breaking his foot - he's a short sir, like 5'1" but electeomechanic, so he's strong he was on his late 40's - I managed myself to push him out of the house before it was too late). With the guy at highschool, I sent him to ER of the local clinic with minor open lacerations, but he was asthmatic and I put on his nostril the very opening of the spray and proceed to fumigate this poor guy twice, I beat the hell I could out of him, twice (I took a break to get a sip of water, I wasn't feeling the pepper spray but it gave me a lot of thirst). The guy was playing rough with a female friend with a petite complexion and I was just 2 inches shorter than him, but maybe 10k of mass above him and when I distracted him from my friend, he came after me. I warned him 3 times, showed him the pepper spray without the safety block and he cornered me pushing his hips against mine in a sexual way, I went nuts and the guy suffer. He puked and all. Police was called at highschool, cops didn't believe a 14y/o girl would beat a 16 and a half guy like that. With woman, verbally abusive is a compliment, nasty, shady, corrosive... Are more accurate adjectives. But those were episodes (others also but won't mention) that happened on my teens, I was undiagnosed and unmedicated. So yeah, we can be quite toxic. Not all are like that and now I'm 28, I work a lot to control my anger and sadistic tendencies that come to surface once the anger escalates. I try not to hurt people, but is like holding the ocean, to be polite, assertive and avoid being like that. Sometimes I take more than what I should from others in fear I will lash out terribly and then I won't be able to control the outcome. That's one of the reasons I trend to self harm, to inflict the pain/punishment on me rather than others. Is a tricky personality disorder, more with other psychiatric conditions, but here I am, healing with therapy and sticking to my meds since I was diagnosed at 26. Again, sorry for the long answer. Hope it helps.

My girlfriend and I both have BPD. It was heaven at first, maybe I was a bit manic too. A few days ago she took a lot of meds because she felt triggered, and it’s very difficult since. Because I know for a fact that there’s nothing I can do except to wait for her to feel better. It’s so hard to stay calm and supportive when deep down I’m splitting and I want to run away and say awful things. But I won’t, I just have to keep reminding myself that I love her and that she’s ill, it’s not her fault. Having bpd is a nightmare. We hurt. So. Fucking. Much.

My Best Friend has BPD, growing up was tough for her, not only due to family dynamics but school didn’t help either as she was bullied. Now that she’s grown up and experienced more of life, she is self-assured and copes a lot better with struggles, she is also much better at respecting herself and her needs too which is beautiful to see. We've been friends for over 17 years and I wouldn't change a thing about her x

​@@Madeviets Oh? I thought the opposite to be the case (maybe I'm wrong!). From what I understood, individuals with BPD go through severe emotional instability. As a result, this causes them to be more likely to use certain "tactics" in order to get attention from their peers which, could overstep set boundaries. I also genuinely connect with this because I live with an individual who was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and, there have been countless instances in which she would say and do extremely hurtful things that I definitely feel no "normal" person would commit no matter the ugliness of the situation.

I have BPD and one thing that I'd like to clarify is that BPD doesn't make people inherently bad or manipulative. I like this video, but am also slightly uncomfortable, because it subtly reinforces the rhetoric of people with BPD enthusiastically engaging in manipulation when really, our troubled relationships are often so because we act in ways that feels like it's overcompensatory to others, but appropriate for us to act. We may GENUINELY believe that acting in these ways is what OTHERS WANT. For example, someone might text their SO nonstop because they feel the SO becoming distant, and over-texting feels like a way to bridge the gap, rather than feeling overbearing or like harrassment. People with BPD are often villainized for "manipulation," but often times we don't have the intent to undermine others for our own sake. It's moreso like we see a lot of actual or perceived deficits, and believe that either party must change behavior to stabilize the situation, -- as such, a lot of behaviors seem extreme or inappropriate to a non-BPD person. In reality, I've found that I've had to set boundaries with my non-BPD friends where we have to communicate what emotional labor we'd like from one another (on a situational, case-by-case basis, normalizing asking for explanations/validations/support/time together or time alone, etc. Like this video said, people with BPD fear abandonment BECAUSE they're experienced a lot of rejection and abandonment in their life. It's a trauma, and a survivor of trauma who cannot rely on their friends to help them understand their contexts and situations is essentially fucked. I hope your next video actually includes 'asking people with BPD about their experiences and how you can support them'. People with BPD are humans, and their trauma doesn't exist in a vacuum. If you care about your BPD friend, learn how to communicate with them by demonstrating empathy (caring about their experiences and how it has shaped them) and integrating that into your own behavior and emotional skillset. The last part about being "direct" but also compassionate is probably the most important part of this video. People with BPD HATE when people are evasive or avoidant (because it legitimately is a form of rejection or abandonment or ghosting).

What's funny is I watch the video and think the video bends over backwards to not do what you're implying. Reading your comment makes me feel gaslit that we even saw the same video, which is ironically the kind of manipulation that my friend with BPD does. Your comment about setting up boundaries is exactly what my BPD friend does. She constantly sets up boundaries, but at the same time expects you to be able to their emotional support pet. Thinking that people who deal with NPD don't have empathy is laughable. If anything, it's because of the nonBPD's empathy that drains all their emotional bandwidth that becomes exhausting. Constantly trying to feel the other person's mood is empathy, and why they feel like they are walking on eggshells all the time to not trigger them. Your last sentence is why my nonBPD friend had to cut my BPD friend out of her life. By setting up boundaries (which could be interpreted as being avoidant or evasive), my BPD friend keeps saying it's ghosting, when it clearly is not.

I haven’t been diagnosed with bpd but I feel a lot of these videos are too relatable. There is nothing wrong with a person suffering from a mental illness but while I can say I’ve professionally labelled with depression I feel there is a lot of grey area and carry over between these types of mental illness. I really appreciate these videos and I know they definitely help many people understand them selves and others, but even if this is a message solely to myself; don’t self diagnose. Being able to confine yourself to a subsect or group is very easy. While these issues do have a great impact upon ones self, dumping the blame upon that which you cannot control may almost certainly not be helpful. Help yourself be kind to you.

This has made me cry, but not on a bad way. I was diagnosed with BPD about a year ago, pretty late diagnosis (I'm 32 now) but the disorder really fucked up my relationships for over a decade prior. I've been able to find and regularly maintain better medication for my mood disorders, and I think that, plus growing older, pursuing ongoing therapy, and leaving a toxic romantic relationship, has helped me maintain much better relationships with my loved ones. I still find myself remembering how I used to behave, though, and I still have those volatile moments of panic where I'm afraid they'll remember and leave me, or they'll realise I'm not worth their time and leave.

In my case it's not a friend who suffers from BPD. It is a person I care for. And it is honestly really hard. One minute we talk to each other, laugh and have a great time, then all of a sudden a little mistake happens and she starts yelling at me and gets furious. She sits in a wheelchair and can't move her arms properly, so I have to be there for her in any case. I tried my best to talk to her about the yelling and that we both want to be respectful towards each other. I really try my best to not take it to heart, but it is so difficult. As you said in the video, it feels like nothing I do is good enough, even when I do my absolute best and everything works out.

You guys pretty much nailed it with the "having one missing layer" and therefore always feeling the impact of things in such an intense way. That's exactly how Borders feel, and I should know for I've been dealing with my own self for years and it's a hard road full of burned bridges, people that you loved and would die for that suddenly become the enemy, periods of feeling like you're so fine you could rule the world and then, just like that, you can only feel the ache of that huge empty that's somewhere, somewhat, inside you. You scream, you shout and you try anything to make it stop, because it's THAT unbearable. Medication definitely helps, but it needs to be associated with therapy, otherwise, it's just a matter of time until something triggers you and it starts all over again (and each time it gets worse because it's trauma on top of trauma - like "oh no, not this again"). So facing the traumas through therapy and learning how to cope with the emotions is a MUST. It's therapy for life, but it really does wonders. As a diagnosed BPD who's been so many times through the ups and downs of this rollercoaster, I just want to thank you for taking your time to make this video and approach the "our side of the story" and how others can help us to maintain a relation of any kind. Sadly I see a lot of people talking non-sense and literally labeling psychopaths as BPDs!!! - this only makes social stigma worse :( Just as a curious factor: hundreds of incredibly famous actors and singers had/have BPD and anyone who's familiar with the behaviors can easily recognize them.

So it can be frustrating to try to communicate what I'm going through to people other than my therapist.

I have had success in dealing with a BPD by letting them make their escape when feeling threatened then after a few minutes I enter the room and sit with them and say nothing. I sit across the room, don't touch or speak. If asked why you are there just say in case you need me. Leave if they ask you to.. In this case I would sometimes wait near by. Nothing else until they're ready to move on. If you must leave simply excuse yourself and go. If you can do this consistently they'll be able to use your presence to help move on more quickly. They feel abandoned and alone. Just be there for them and that really helps them recover from an episode. PS I mean it! Don't speak and try to justify what caused it. You may be entirely justified but it can wait until later. PPS No! Shut up and wait till they feel better. If you can't you are just rubbing salt in the wound.

I don't like the advise your psych gave you. Again, my opinion, a shrink should never diagnose or attach labels to people they have never examined. I think the shrink sent you off on a wild goose chase. BPD in my experience are introverted. Their anger turns inward and are prone to cutting and other self destructive behaviors. BPD can be triggered by the slightest thing or sometimes nothing at all, but this sets off an emotional response. A triggered emotional response that is outward, angry and destructive to other people may be BPD, but it doesn't sound like it to me.By mentioning BPD I think you've looked for an answer that doesn't exist.

If ur in therapy learn about splitting. Work on your splitting. You need to see yourself as a separate person with your own emotions and worth. When i ised to see everybody as super good or super nice, they could never do anything wrong. But they are humans too and they have flaws too. The i would switch to being clingy, overbearing and if rejected, just plain cruel. People walk away from this kind of behavior and we end up feeling more lonely and useless... .slowly learn to trust learn to see you'll be ok. learn that it's OK to not be perfect learn boundaries and i promise you, you'll be surprised how people will WANT TO be around you. 😘

This video explains a lot, thank you. I have a friend who shows a lot of the signs of BPD, although having no official diagnosis. He's a great friend and super kind, but can be difficult to deal with sometimes because of his clingy behaviour, habit of idolising people, and seeing people as either 'allies' or 'enemies' who he has to fight against. This helps me understand things a bit better, and I am encouraging him to seek help, and trying to be there for him without feeling responsible for protecting or taking care of him all the time.

My Dad has BPD and goes from one extreme to another, frequently. When I was younger it was harder for me to cope with his behavior, as he refused to take medication for it. It can be hard to have relationships with people who have this mental illness, but they are more than that. I really like the messages this video gave us. 💞

I have BPD and started Ketamine treatments a little over a year ago. They saved and changed my life. Perhaps you can do some research and bring it up to him! They not only take away all suicidal ideation for me it helps the depression and borderline better than any medication. I no longer take any psychiatric medications except for Xanax as needed. I believe it has the potential to change how we treat many mental health disorders.

Thanks for this video my husband and I recently broke off a friendship with someone who has BPD. When we tried to explain our need for a break while we were experiencing a lot of loss, we received a barrage of deep-cutting insults from this friend. I can understand high emotions, but I cannot stand for someone saying every hurtful thing that they can think of and invalidating the pain of others. I wish that friend well. I know he has other people to support him, but we could not stick around at the expense of our well being.

@Psych2Go: I don’t believe so. It’s an interesting thing to look at - I’ve had a lot of problems recently, so there are likely a lot of threads to separate out, but I’ve never really connected with more than a few people in my life. I don’t mean to imply that I’m unfriendly or anything, but I’ve never really felt that most people actually like me very much. I certainly agonise about all the things I’ve done wrong, the mistakes I made and the times I hurt someone when I didn’t mean to, in the dark watches of the night. Would a sort of low-grade paranoia be part of this subject? It feels like it might be. I often feel that this feeling makes me act in a strange way, where I don’t think I could help someone understand how I feel if I tried my hardest. @Jennifer H: I will, boss - don’t worry about that! I’m very much getting into self-care after a very scary eighteen months (which is how I found this channel!) so I feel I’m moving in the right direction. I’ve had help from medical professionals and continue to do so, but every so often something like this video comes along and a little lightbulb goes on in my head. I’m not in a place where I “ignore myself” if that makes any sense - I’m not about to stop trying, and that definitely means getting help and advice. @Kuga139: I shall find a copy and see what it has to say! Thank you for the recommendation!

I feel toxic because of my mood swings and hurt my lover with words. So then, I try to leave him, thinking he will be better without me Luckily, he's a strong one and never stop trying to keep me, our fight can last hours until I come back to my sense and then we are back as normal

I was diagnosed with BPD in May, shortly after my eighteenth birthday. I find it almost like, funny, in a really messed up way, that as soon as I hit the minimum age to be diagnosed with a PD, I am. I grew up alone with nobody to stand up for me or tell me it wasn't my fault in a household where I was manipulated, guilt-tripped, and invalidated by a bipolar parent. I've just now, as a young adult, started to realize the true impact my parents' actions have had on me. I didn't know that it was emotional abuse to do the things they did. I feel really angry and alone since my diagnosis, and for the past 8 months, since my most recent traumas, I've been getting sicker. Splitting has cost me almost every friend I made before I was diagnosed. The memories of what other people have done to me and how I handled it haunt me constantly and I feel like a broken, worthless wreck. I'm glad for this video, though, and I'm glad for everyone who understands that people with BPD aren't monsters by default. I want to be a happy, functional person. I'm getting the help I need and I know it'll be a long journey, but I hope I can get there.

You will see others who write similar comments under the video :) I know you commented a year ago and I hope you are feeling a little less alone and grappling better with the realization of where and how your trauma developed alongside who caused it.

I’ve been a fan of your channel for years. Yet I just discovered this video. For almost 10 years, I was romantically involved with a woman who was diagnosed with BPD. Understanding it, and talking to professionals about it wasn’t enough to save the relationship. I took a second job to make up for what she wasn’t able to earn. And from that point on, the abandonment - anger cycles became more frequent and more intense until the time I felt as if I was endangering myself staying in the relationship. The revenge cycle took months to quell and I have now sought my own counseling for the trauma this emotional intensity has caused within me. I am in the entertainment business, and I’ve experienced a lot of unique personalities. BPD has topped them all.

But its its literally so terrible to search something about bpd because you want to help yourself, and all the results being something along the lines of "how to cope with your partner/friend/family member who has bpd". It really sends a message to all of us who suffer from it that we are simply to be tolerated, the burden on our relationships. Because ultimately the blame falls on us for having bpd.

I'm taking a risk by sending the videos, because if they don't respond, it could could send me back into the thoughts of abandonment. Instead of being fearful of abandonment, I'm telling myself, that the fact that I'm taking a risk, is inner strength. I hope that made sense.

Sucks to be the one with BPD. Sometimes I go through phases of extreme trust and distrust. Then go into isolation for weeks or months blocking everyone I love all because of one small pity argument. Then somehow become friends with everyone again, and then do the same thing all over. This time feels permanent and I can’t confront them anymore. I’ve retaliated too many times and destroyed all bridges. It’s impossible to keep friends, relationships, or jobs. I tick too easily and get overwhelmed with my own thoughts. I make threats or cause irrational behavior that would endanger me or people around me. I’m terrified of losing loved ones but sometimes it’s easier to leave everyone instead. Back into denial. Back to hurt. I just want to make it stop and keep my friends. I feel like a glass vase, fragile- and if broken, I’m a hazard to everyone.

You did hit the nail on the head with the missing layer of skin and thinking differently, however you managed to break our illness down to the two most stereotyped and negative POTENTIAL aspects of BPD which is manipulation and explosive anger. Once again reinforcing the idea that all people with BPD are angry, manipulative monsters that lash out at other people and make suicidal threats for attention. Yes some people with BPD do have these issues, however by tarring us all with the same brush you are still portraying us all as dangerous, cruel and attention seeking and creating a seriously detrimental image. Out of all 9 symptoms you managed to cherry pick the two scariest ones to talk about and ‘inform’ people how to ‘deal’ with someone with BPD. One that (on a personal note) made my parents terrified of me when I was diagnosed at the age of 18 despite having no history of anger outbursts or even being angry in front of them, no history at all of violence or manipulative behaviour. So thank you very much for reinforcing the negative stereotype further 👍🏼 And on the flip side (as I do know toxic BPD’s as well) a video on boundary setting would be amazing for both parties as clearly set boundaries are a great way to tackle some of the issues when navigating any kind of relationships when it comes to BPD as it can be daunting for someone who is new to being friends with someone with the condition! Also on a slightly more controversial note, maybe a video about how people with toxic BPD traits can try to manage the more extreme symptoms of the condition? Because it’s unhealthy to just pass them off as ‘oh it’s just the BPD’ and not deal with them, not to mention very dangerous and hurtful on the people around them’s mental health.

i love the ending about "every friendship being unique"-- because they are! i think it resonated so much with me because I love how it takes navigating friendships of those with mental illnesses/mood disorders out of frame of "dealing with someone with mental illness" and rather into the framing of "having/building friendships with anyone who is different, thinks different, or has a different personality than you." I think it's also important how this video still puts the other person's (non-BPD) mental and emotions well being upfront, while still not stigmatizing or demeaning the one with BPD as just "un-friendable." i love these videos and how they talk about mental health and illness because while they give understanding, context, and reason to many behaviors of those who are struggling, it also recognizes that this is not excuse for bad behavior or manipulation (that being something i've always struggled with, dealing with a parent and partners who have trauma/mood disorders and feeling like i cant feel abused or mistreated because 'it's their illness!'" (all while struggling/learning how to deal with my own.) there is having empathy and understanding, and still having self respect for one's own mental health and well being. there is also understanding and grace (on the other side) for one's negative behaviors, and still being accountable for these behaviors and working to create better coping skills. sending love and gratitude to all those struggling with these (oh so important) balances and having these difficult (and oh so important) conversations. it's this work being done that makes us all better and more love to go around . 🤍

I don't have a friend with BPD, but my MOM does. She's explained it so accurately like in this video, and it really helps me understand my mom so much better, even make sense the actions she did while my brother and I grew up and I didn't know. She was already suicidal and taking anti-depressants and actually wanted to drive herself into the ditch when I was 13, but she only stayed alive for me and my brother and the last two months, she verbalized her desire to die, almost succeeding. That was most scary as her oldest child, and her best friend. She now has the help she needs and is actively keeping herself safe with the help of a friend who is her roommate, who deserves the world when my brother and I can't help her ourselves. This helps a lot with the struggles she's going through, and she's doing a whole lot better mentally, thanks to that friend and her actions to make her go see her therapist and get herself into the hospital. Thanks Psych2Go for helping me understand more on what my mom is going through. I personally would like to see the boundaries set to help my mom even further 💜💜

This sounds like someone I used to know. I had to cut the friendship because of how manipulative they were, I'm not sure if they have this and/or other issues, but I couldn't make it work since it was toxic for me.

Yes, my mother passed in 2012, I never knew about that. She did was abusive, toxic, manipulative, unpredictable triggers. My father was too stupid to call police. Later they got divorced and us kids, have moved away very far. And we did not want to see our father since he allowed her behavior go awry. That’s very unforgivable! He passed 2010. We didn’t attend their funerals too.

@@rbsmith3365 it's very unfortunate to hear that, but it's entirely understandable why you would hold a grudge and be upset at them both, regardless if your mother had a mental condition. It isn't right that your father never did anything either. I do hope over the years that you've been able to find some sort of closure for it all though. I wish you well

@@katieeberts9668 Hello, my 2 siblings did hold grudges but not only her. Father too. My grandparents have told me that both of them if you want to get married. Says that, My father came from poor family. HS drop out. Then in navy,. Drop out too. Smoker. Bad candidate. Neither compatible. My grandparents wants him to follow their path. He refused. Our lives were up and down. He made her life miserable. And mother got anxieties like clingy, needy, toxic, and more. But why didn’t they divorced in 1968, ‘73, ‘75 ?? And so until 1983 when, I was in college and my relatives and, I were unaware that she have moved out. And my father gave her up. Later father remarried. He wasn’t completely honest with young stepmother and relatives. And blamed us kids about mother’s problems?!? Didn’t respect boundaries while, I was growing up. He cannot be trusted either. And, I was unaware he got divorced again. Until he was dead at 69.... Smoking kills him. All of us have moved on from them. And it damaged to my siblings too.

@@colorbar.s No, I have quiet bpd and comments like this are important because even tho we individuals with bpd go through hell everyday we don't often speak about the "victims" of bpd the people that we hurt. I think it's great that they can share their experiences and understand each other. But I also want to remind everyone that not all bpd individuals are like that. I know for a fact that a lot of them are just nice people who only want to feel better and live a decent life.

Had this female friend with BPD for 11 years. Very good, close friendship. Because I got to close for her comfort I was split black out of nowhere in the past but after half a year we reconnected as friends. Happened again recently but this time got replaced by a new favorite person and shut me off completely. Arguments came out of nowhere and made no sense as nothing really happened. I was the only friend that was able to stay on her side for this long because I knew what was going on. Sadly she keeps repeating the same mistakes.

Remember that your feelings are just as important as hers. What people with BPD tend to do is make everyone around them prioritize the BPD-Sufferer's feelings over everyone else's. You are not a doormat. It's not your job to "fix" her.

The truth is so fucking hard as always, your right on the money with this video. like looking in a mirror. I wish you could make a video on how to get it fixed. cuzz its a struggle everyday. they can fix a broken bone or even replace a hearth, cure a physical illness. but finding the right help to coop with the emotional rollercoaster that infect BPD ppl and their loved ones seems harder then landing spaceship on the moon. Also id like to say a huge big respect and much love to the people who stand by their friend that has BPD. Most are well aware that its not easy at all, and can even be very painfull to be our friend or fam. but your still there. we most certainly dont always show it but your support means the world to us 🙏

I am unable to get any kind of professional diagnosis or help at the moment considering there is a pandemic going on, but I honestly resonate with the symptoms. I do not wish to self diagnose, but at the same time I do not feel normal. When/if all of this craziness of the pandemic passes, I will be sure to figure things out and keep this video on the side for those who deserve to learn about me, like my family and friends. Thank you for uploading this video! I just came off of the BPD symptoms video from your channel, posted a year ago, to see this.

What they say in this video about BPD blocking a person’s ability to see context is very helpful. I think if people with BPD can work on reminding themselves of that and try to look at the context of other people’s actions as soon as rejection/abandonment fears start coming up inside, that would really help. And if their friends are made aware of this difficultly, and could pause to help the one with BPD see the context (without shaming them for not seeing it), that would really help too. Like if they see the pwBPD (person with BPD) starting to show body language or speech that shows insecurity, they could nip it in the bud by putting a hand on their shoulder and saying, “Hey, if something I or someone else said/did just now is causing you to feel those fears you shared with me about, can I share some context that you might not have noticed?” This would be super amazingly helpful if done in a reassuring and respectful way. (It would not be helpful of course if it was done as gaslighting by a person with narcissism).

I'm finding so so much help in these videos, my boyfriend has BPD and he's stuck in the "doesn't know who he is or his purpose" cycle I'm hearing about here. Hard to describe, but these videos are showing me that hes not actually meaning the awful things he recently said, he's not actually a manipulator. He's just stuck in the "numb headspace", and we have to navigate it and see if I can and should ride it out. He's refusing help or meds now (he said his BPD is cured) but I'm going to hang on and hope he's open to it when his mind clears up again. I'm just looking for support and advice from people who know about or have BPD, I've always supported him and want to continue, even if he doesn't "see anything to last for his entire life" I know we will 🖤

I have both a best friend with BPD, as well as a family member (my mother). It's generally a struggle to maintain a relationship, but you are correct on there being value in them. Whilst it is frustrating at times, I found with stronger boundaries as well as keeping in mind that not only is this not personal that they are also just as harsh with themselves, it was easier to keep the relationship. People with BPD really just need to be shown kindness, and empathy. As well as being kept firmly in place with what you are and are not okay with. Though, I do think a video on how to put boundaries in place would be a good idea given how difficult it is to get going.
