Thank you Dr. Fox! No seriously thank you, you are changing my life and therefore the lives of those around me. Your work is so valuable💓 I just got your workbook and I’m excited to see what’s in store! I have BPD and it’s still hard to wrap my head around understanding what’s happening in my mind. I take it in pieces & your work has helped contribute to my growth and my PEACE & JOY immensely❤️ 🙌🏾

Wow.. you've just described perfectly my situation in these last 3 years that I came back to live at my mother's house, luckily I've never suffer too much from my BPD living on my own but since I came back to my parent house, the pattern of being the "invalid son" came back making the Bpd heavier on my shoulders

I feel like emotionally handicapped I was bullied at work (some coworker thought it was okay to shout and call me names on front of my patients. I didn't do anything, just kept listening to her nonsense, she was basically screaming by herself for 15min) oh boy, I manage to kept myself together until I went to my car and got a crisis. One thing is for sure I was angry at myself for not being able to defend myself. BPD is playing with my head now, depression is crashing, but good friends did not leave me straight and helped me today. I am finally reaching for help

​@Dr. Daniel Fox could you please do a video on some of the positive traits that people diagnosed with bpd have, I think this would be nice for people to remember when there is always so much negative stigma and videos of what is "wrong" with us.....be nice to remind us we aren't all just bad or broken 😊 thanks so much for your videos they have really helped me understand my bpd and why I am how i am sometimes... Like u say...Knowledge is power 😁 appreciate you ❤

once agen an awesome video ..... ive been trying to remind other of this concept a lot on this BPD supourt group on facebook as i truly belive some of us with BPD forget the thought disorder aspect of BPD and think its souly about emotional self control ... and then end up feeling worse cuz they haven't changed or gained control ....... but with your videos I've been able to recognize the thought disorder aspect more ......and your right our beliefs are most the time at the core of our reactions .....and it can be many number of them ..... this video points out something I've beafly been able to grasp or even attempt to change ..... that self view thing you talk about the end of this video ..... this core belief that things go smoother a long as i ...... compromise myself ..... its probably the one core belief that's the ahrdest to change as it been my role since my family and the more i go back to visit them the more i realize how much i just accept it as the only way to be ....... i love my fam but sometimes (not all had t change that one but is eazyer to change that then the other ) sometimes ill always be asked to quite my wants or beliefs to make sure my someone in the fam doesn't have an meltdown .... expecully when my mom asked me too..... i was super sick when i went to visit them for my g mas funeral and the night after my eldest sister talked my parents into going gambling though i couldtn do to being sick .... her response when my dad said i was to sick to go was .... i don't understand (shes low cognitive as this hasbeen the core reason me and my middle sister have been thaught to down our needs to make sure she doesn't have an outburst ) so they all went expect my middle sister and when they came home my eldest sister still had an outburst up there gambling on my parents ....... this happened the last time i went and i ave truly realized that this is a core belief i follow with me to all relationships ....... just lower your needs and beliefs to make sure everything goes ok for others even if it makes me feel bad ... as that doesn't matter (trying to change this has been super hard just barely been able to make sure i keep my boundaries up with my partner and friends without having a panic attack ) i have broken beliefs like if i have a stressful moment i can party or its ok to party and i can due drugs cuz ive earned it ...... this is one i earge others to contemplate on ...... when you leave this beoif so vage you leave yourself open to over indulge ...... destressing at the end of the week or after a stressful moment isent a party and yes for some can include one beer etc .... but we don't say one beer we say party ...... once i started putting the self boundy of being more exact when i make these choices have made it so i don't over indulge still hard but deff making gead way same with what i accept as proof of cheating or someone up to no good the core belief i had was i can tell when my friend or partner is up to no good ..... such a vage belief left me open to reading the car a/c different as proof my partner snuck out when i didn't have much other proof ..... i had to change my belief to i cant tell when my partner is up to no good i can tel when things are out of place and things being out of place doesn't means there's something up ...... been hard and none of these are easy and sometimes i have to be super stricked with myself and say the new belief out loud not just in my head when my mind jumps back to trying to tell me its proof lol no this is not proof of anything accept its not how i remember it ... awesome video dr fox

When I hear Dr. Fox talking it makes me feel super hopeful! I have BPD diagnosed very late 2021 and I am also middle age. A lot of times I feel hopeless, because I have no one by my side, my kids don’t like interact with me, my ex-wife does not want to be my friend, my new partner is already tired, so I feel super down most the time, but when I hear it is possible to change blows a bit of energy to the fire almost gone. Thank you Dr Fox. It is so hard to live with this I did not even realise I was faulty, now I feel people avoid me as if I had Ebola or HIV in the 80s.

Totally random but I wonder if you would consider a video about nostalgia and bpd? Not something I hear talked a lot about but I've found myself consumed by nostalgia more than a few times in my life, not sure if it's just part of affect disregulation or something else. Also, though I think it could be considered a bad thing, nostalgia has seemed to help me in some very dark periods of my life, give me something to hold onto and pull myself up. Happy Saturday!

Dr Fox thank you so much for all the knowledge that you are giving us. This will and is helping me so much, that I can’t even recognize myself. I am dealing with a lot of problems at the moment and I able to have healthy behaviors that is something that I never thought I could do. I feel I am 80% in control of my actions. But my emotions, I still have that same feelings and afraid, and I have no idea how to change this… is it possible to change not just your behavior, but also how you feel? ❤

I feel like for me the reason i fall so easily for any guy thats nice to me and get easily attached is because my dad was the only safe person in my household as a child since my mother probably has npd,so therefore i only felt safe around men even as an adult i guess i still crave that security from man..At least thats some of the insight i came up with from this video and also it seems like for both my parents 8t triggers them when i behave like an adult and they'd like to keep me as a 12 yr old for ever and under there control.But luckily im healing from all this thanks for your videos💖

What are all suitable jobs options that you would suggest for a person with BPD? From my personal experience the IT industry is very competitive and intense to work with and I am trying to figure out employment options for myself. The bad part is since childhood there hasn’t been a single proper interest or training or expertise in anything particular, which makes it difficult as an adult to choose a career path.

Sir I have been diagnosed with BPD in 2014... Since the past two years it's gone worse... I am having tention headaches... My brain has clogged, almost stopped working... I do not have energy to do little things like brushing my teeth... I have come to a point where I feel this darkness inside my head and I no more can track my thoughts or patterns... Is it PTSD? I feel burning sensation over my head and face area...

I has called a crisis line today and they told me bpd people are best to buy a pet because making friends or finding love or working are most likely out of the question because bpd people can't be rehabilitated or be in society. I ended up overdosing after the call..I pretty much have given up and think I will live in isolation the rest of my life, there's nothing I can do to get better.m that's what I feel

I have no respect for any clinician who has ever put the label BPD on someone. I know people whose lives have been ruined by having this label. They have been "looked down upon" by medical people, the legal system....the list goes on. That name needs to be changed to something that gives a person a chance in life. I've never met a "therapist" whom I didn't despise because they make people's lives worse, not better.
