I’m sure my clingy neediness and mood swings drove them away. I just started EMDR in October and DBT group in January, and I feel like a new person. I’m coming off (very slowly, with medical,supervision) some of my antidepressants, which I’ve been on for 50 (yup) years. It’s never too late, please keep trying, everyone.

Hey, I needed to stop here just to say that sharing these types of thoughts with people I trusted (people that continually showed they cared, not necessarily my ‘favourite’ people) has helped me make immense progress! It helps people understand your behaviour and if they can communicate back in the same way, that can help you gain perspective and learn about other possible scenarios why someone might not e.g. text back ‘soon enough’.

And my relationship, intimate is with my dog...my dog won't leave me, won't lie to me, won't tell me things that are not real amd always by my side. And when I have lashed out at people, it further distances me from people, and I accept the loss of friends as an expense I pay- so I have to consider the cost before I do- and this- like the person who has money burning a hole in thier pocket, holding back my thoughts tongue for a person who I feel is not nice, burns a hole in my pocket, the cost is I lose 4 friends over that one...I have given up. When I shared how I felt- for the first time with a girl friend- she left. This hurts my ❤. I deleted most all my contact list on my phone down to just the bills.

I actually had the opposite experience. Got diagbosied with asd at 6 and I was constantly infatasised, treated like id never amount to anything, taken out of class at school, told how im "special " and will always need help from others and never ever will be independent. I was also constantly bullied by my siblings, school kids and my family all treated me like I was this stupid kid who would never get anywhere in life. Autisim became my identity and I thought thats all I was worth, a dumb kid who would always need someone to do everything for them. Not an actual human being with thoughts and feelings. I don't have a sense of self now. I was constantly told from when I started developing bpd that it was just autisim/ADHD and never got treated for it and tbh if my symptoms of bpd were identified, my bpd probably wouldn't of been nearly as bad:( With that being sad, not knowing you have asd and not being diagnoised is also very tramuatic

It just depends on what cycle I’m on throughout the day, and I would like more videos specifically on those that are like a Jack-Of-All-Trades when it comes to having all 4 subcategories on a loop throughout the day, with all 9 criteria activated that you’re unable to escape from.

My mother was diagnosed with BPD. She was super abusive and scapegoated me. I can’t imagine her ever being vulnerable enough to admit she needs help. Instead, she became a therapist. She seems to enjoy having people put her on a pedestal. Sometime in my 40s I decided there was nothing I could do to stop the abuse aside from going no contact. The first couple of times I ended up talking to her again after a few months or a couple of years. But this time I have not spoken to her for 11 years and I hope I never see her again. I am slowly learning how to stop my compulsion to please people. Not everything is my fault or my responsibility. I have a great therapist, so I am really thankful for that because they can be hard to find. Thank you for your videos, I love your content. ❤

It cracks me up when people with bpd or other cluster bs claim they have 'too much empathy'.LOL no empathetic person would treat a loved one so nicely then do a 180 and be so cruel, and do this regularly (unlike mood disorders episodes). It'd be fine if people with bpd, hpd, npd all dated within the cluster because they'd all understand one another and how awful it feels. But no, they need supply yet expect people to tolerate their cruel actions.

Because I know it would be hell not only for me but for them too and most people don't deserve to be dragged into something like this. On the empathy part I think they confuse being empathetic toward another person with being overly anxious over what these others think or feel about THEM. And then use this as an excuse to their unhinged behaviour. So it's all about them after all

I am fairly certain that my former friend had BPD. The sad part about this disorder is they sabotage so badly that maintaining friendships is really hard. The damage got to be so bad that I had to put in some pretty airtight boundaries with her. That resulted in her feeling so rejected that she just kicked us out of her life. It’s one of the more devastating things, to be on the receiving end of that type of response. But I feel even worse for her that she has lost so many good people as a result of being unwilling to address that issue in her life. I hope everybody with BPD is able to find a really good support network and system and get access to therapy that will help them recover and heal. All of you whom live and struggle with this, deserve so much joy and happiness and I’m praying that you find all the tools and resources you need to access the most beautiful parts of yourself and not have to fight so hard to let that out.

It does not matter from where manipulative behavior originated, manipulation is any attempt to control the behavior of others to meet some unmet need. Just because manipulation in borderline personality disorder is not malignant does not mean it’s not manipulation. Second, untreated or under treated BPD can and dies result in harm to others. While I’m absolutely in favor of destigmatization, nobody should need to endure the kind of unhealthy relationships that result from BPD. Partners of people with BPD deserve love, respect and stability as much as those with BPD do. However, again, regardless where this instability originated, it’s unfair to expect their partners to maintain a relationship with anyone who is incapable of doing the same.

@@LuluDior4 unfortunately sometimes that’s not going to be enough. We can be compassionate and still do what’s best for ourselves.

Hey Kati, First and foremost, thank you once again for taking the time to help us better understand a mental health topic. Your videos have helped me (and I am sure, so many others as well!) hold on to hope, which means the world. I am very shy to reach out here, but maybe someone else could be in a similar situation and feel seen. After 3+ yrs seeing her, I have just been diagnosed (during an appointment, last week) by my psychiatrist with a Personality Disorder. She didn't mention BPD specifically, but the way she interacted with me, and also how my therapist (to whom she interacted) talks to me or brings up certain things during our weekly sessions make me believe that BPD is actually what they both have in mind. Since my appointment, I feel terrible. I don't understand how my psychiatrist could tell me that hard truth saying that she wanted to bring me some hope by doing it. Not to mention the shame I feel considering I might have BPD, I feel like a fraud - I don't recognize myself a lot in the different characteristics of this disorder. This brings me to ask you this: Can someone have BPD even if: A. They don't experience those intense "mood swings"? (I can't remember the last time I felt "good". If my mood changes, it only goes from bad to very bad...) B. Have not even had something traumatic in the past, and have grown up in a loving family? C. Don't feel any anger? (except towards myself, I never experience this emotion) Thank you once again. I hope you can keep for yourself at least a little of all the light you are spreading around you. You deserve it, too. Take care xx (P.S. I am sorry for my bad English writing. I am not quite great at expressing myself, especially in this second language of mine. I tried my best.)

I really love how respectfully blunt you put how we feel as patients with BPD while still validating our problems. We still must take responsibility for our actions but you validate the pain that unfortunately, generally leads to these actions. As someone with BPD, it's an artform.

I appreciate your perspective here. I understand a lot about my mom’s upbringing and how it influences her BPD behavior. My issue though, is that me being a girl (she wanted a boy) and having normal needs while I am growing up should not be considered a threat to her. I didn’t ask to be her child. There is more responsibility for her as a parent to get healthy than for me as a child to understand and be accommodating. She should not threaten suicide if she’s not getting her way on whatever arbitrary hill she chooses to die on (ranch dressing as veggie dip or which pants I prefer). Me, my dad, and my siblings (there are 9 of us) should not have to live in constant hypervigilance. I should not be made responsible for my younger siblings at age 9 (aka abandoned) for hours on end while she “goes to the grocery store” several times per week and endure physical/psychological/spiritual abuse on a daily basis. Kudos to all people with BPD who are in therapy and work to improve their mental health and reduce the impact of their impulses and behaviors on others. You’re doing hard and worthwhile work. Keep going! ❤ Please don’t be like my mom.

I've got family members who fit the BPD. From my personal experience with them, they are liars, manipulaters, backstabbing, and all around difficult to relate with. After 57 years dealing with them, keeping the peace at my own expense, I am done! I can't with them anymore. The harm and damage they cause......I had to focus on my own mental well-being and eliminating them from my life was necessary for my own healing.

I'm sorry you experienced this. Living with people who have no awareness or desire to get better can be so damaging. It seems to be such a cycle, too - one person is abused who abuses another, and then that person abuses a third, and so on. I am glad you got out of there. I wish you continued healing.

@@mason74551 thank you. The abuse is horrid, even as an adult living on my own, minding my business, my half-sister, 3 years younger than me, has gotten our father to verbally and emotionally abuse me still with her lies. She fooled her therapists with her lies. She has been going to psychiatrist and psychologists her entire adult life. She is overly medicated and medicated for the wrong things. She claims that she was diagnosed with Bipolor. Ah, that would be a big fat nope! I know what Bipolor looks like. My daughter was diagnosed with that 12 years ago, and she is near perfect on her medication.

@sassyslsgrl Ай бұрын

The first therapist who diagnosed me with Bpd didn't tell me my diagnosis for a long time specifically to prevent my getting bad outdated information and becoming discouraged... Turns out this was a good call, as the first thing I did in the pre Google days was go to the library and read how hopeless the situation was and how toxic and unmanageable we were and that therapists should avoid treating Bpd patients as it was a waste of time and even toxic to the therapist... I'm glad by the point I read this I had enough trust in my therapist to talk with her about what the diagnosis really meant and what it didn't. I still fight some of the same battles as I did all those years ago but I usually win now, after taking responsibility for my own learning growing and healing and continuing to get help and resources along the way. If I can lead a largely healthy happy life with BPD CPTSD and the remnants of what was once severe and crippling agoraphobia due to prolonged narcissistic abuse, anyone willing to do the work can. Love to all still feeling like a train wreck, I still feel it sometimes, but big picture I can look back and be proud now how far I've come.

I’ve got BPD , along with other mental illnesses & learning difficulties. I don’t think you can get rid of it. Any mental illness or terminal or chronic physical illnesses will never go but for most people things will calm them down wity something they love doing/enjoy etc at times when there not having a severe episode. It’s the most misunderstood illness but yet it’s the hardest to deal with, because your all on your own, just you, your brain, your heart. I got my daughter taken of me without having a chance of been with her alone or with my careers because I’ve got mental illness. Soical workers/other professionals clearly thinks everyone with mental illnesses is dangerous to baby’s & children. That in its self should get childrens services put where they belong, in a cell, LONELY, SCARED & DISTRESSED. They ruins lives & don’t even feel sorry. They ruin parents lives & childrens.

@Capthowdy098 Ай бұрын

I was diagnosed BPD in the military. I abandoned treatment before we got too much into it for fear of how it would jeopardize my career. I do lash out and I know I do but I do whatever I can to prevent this the tug of war in my head. Also, one thing that always bugged me is that despite my diagnosis and really understanding a lot about the disorder and how it aligns with me, I have the opposite than a fear of abandonment. I repel any and all, I have no real friends, I have no social media footprint past 2008. I avoid any work functions I possibly can. I maybe converse with my mother and sister once a month. Despite being married my wife is well aware of what I am. We do get along very well. But I do catch myself keeping her at arm's length. However, I am also a pain patient with a lower back issue, nerve damage, and tilted/cracked L5. So how much of that is pain vs BPD. Edit: I wrote this before fact #5. Now finishing the rest, it makes more sense.

Trying so hard to break the cycle and trust people. And not all bipolar people are violent though I have seen some. The one caveat is it at least now that we can understand it somewhat, address it and find healthy coping mechanisms. 😊

And Autism, many autistics (particularly women) were misdiagnosed with BPD before they "discovered" that women could have Autism. So, I agree with you. The whole DSM system is frogged. I was raised in a cult (escaped long ago) and there is something very cult-like about the psychologists/psychiatrist/therapist system (and their faith in their "bible" despite continual horrific misdiagnoses year after year). Be careful out there.

Tonsnof therapies, inpatient care, group home with dialectrical behaviour therpaies and she seems worse to her parents. She quit the school, doesnt have anyone around her from previous life. She abandoned everyone and got social assistance to live alone. Therapist apperently said she is fine to live alone. Insane!! Now she is 16!!

There's usually some context behind reactions. We're often portrayed as being very explosive but a lot of stuff adds up. It feels like being an emotional hurricane and also the clean up crew that comes in afterward. It doesn't help that most of us are related to and attracted to other people with personality disorders. Maybe it's experience / self awareness, but I'm actually usually pretty understanding when I lose people and friendships. I get it.
