Thank you Adan.

Great! And good luck!

i just found your videos and they almost make me cry. i was just diagnosed with bpd (coupled with depression + anxiety) several months ago though i suspected it for years. thank you for making and posting these, it really means a lot to me (and i'm sure to everyone else viewing them as well.)

What a blessing!!

I really hope so.

You're welcome. I wish you well.

Glad to hear that it is appreciated :)

You're welcome!

This is beautiful.... I put it on my facebook to let other people know about it. sincerely, One BPD to another.

i have BPD too.and your video's has helped me already so many times .thank you.and god bless you.greets from germany

That's great to hear! Have a great SIAD 2013!

Love it!

Bravo to the brave people who not only are vulnerable about having this disorder, to which they were NOT responsible to getting in the first place, but then Also choose to give back after recovery, to those struggling. And in such a compassionate, clear and concise way. Thank you a million times and keep up the Amazing work. You ARE changing the world, one person at a time! Namaste!

Good one, watching your uploads reminds me that I'm not the only one! Thank you.

I understand how you feel. This must feel very mixed. I am planning to do a video about couples and BPD soon. But for now: a big hug for you! And thank you for being there for him.

It's sweet of you to say this Adan. I understand it though from people. We all come from a different background and i respect that. It's why it doesn't hurt me. And it's not a problem for me personally. Happy SIAD 2013!

Love your videos. I wish i were more open with my disease, I suffer of C-PTSD and your videos have been very helpful to understand myself.... Thanks......

Aww thanks Elsie :)

I just love when a new video from you pops up in my sub box. I missed you so much while you were gone. X

Your last remark is important...WE ARE NOT ALONE. Thank you, Bas!

Sometimes all I want is a hug, but I just can't stand it when someone touches me... Great Video. This might be just the thing I need real soon :) Thank you x

Bas, I'm so so glad to see you back. My father (I suspect) is borderline. Thank God he's mellowed with age. I too have something going on, some doctors have said borderline. Some say bipolar. It has lessened over the years. I have stayed out of relationships for the last 3 yrs since that seems to be my biggest trigger. (Very insecure & feel rejected even if im not really rejected) the 2nd biggest help I've found are your videos. Learned more from you than 2 inpatient hospitalizations. God bless!

Thank you very very much, Bas!

Thank you. And good luck :)

Bas I missed you. Your videos are so helpful thank you.

Thank you so much for your insights. sent your video to my sisters, but no response yet. I guess i have to wait for it to sink in a wee bit. Keep on the great work.

Thank you, Bas. Your videos are always so thoughtful and helpful.

Bas, I'm sixteen and was just diagnosed with BPD, you really help, thankyou

Thank you bas.

I've missed u! ive stopped self harming but still do my part for SIAD

I wish my family will get to understand me eventually. I'm diagnosed with BPD but because my country is not very familiar with it, I'm being exposed to treatments that seem to worsen my symptoms to the point that I've tried to commit suicide for not being better even after all the 'treatments' they gave me. But watching your videos has given me solace; knowing that at least someone out there, as far as you may be from the life I have understands what I feel gives me the drive to continue to live

:) you're welcome. we are not alone.

I hope you know how much of a difference you make with these videos!

Thank you so much Bas for doing these videos....it is helping me so much in how I deal with my family member who has the BPD.....I'm getting a way better understanding of what they are dealing with....and....hopefully I am not making them feel worse anymore. Hugs to you for sharing!!!

Thank you! And maybe an idea for a future video :)

Excellent video Bas!! I only wish you had one for BPD too. I know people will benefit from this. xx

You're welcome :)

Sorry you feel that way. I am trying to bring a big message in a calming way. But thank you for your opinion.

Bas...when you don't post I worry about you...have you thought maybe posting more often would help you...that is if you need it? I am not sure but this last video seems sad...thank you for all your videos...really helpful...you are very brave

Unfortunately my parents don't talk in English, but I hope your video will help a lot of people. You're amazing xoxo

i'm sorry you feel that way. Maybe try to share things with someone close to you? You dont have to be alone in it. Take care ok. You can pm me.

My bpd creeps up when im really stressed out so i have to do lots of yoga and i avoid relationships then im ok. To the young ones i say it does get better im 29 soon and so much better than when younger.

Alsjeblieft :)

I still struggle with depression a great deal. (At least thats what professionals call it when i talk to them. I really wish i could talk to by email. Theres more to my story than i can fit in here. I value your opinion tremendously. Guess this will have to do for now.

How do you get out of dissociation - emotional dissociation, due to intense anger, anxiety or sorrow?

Why are you sad?

There are ignorant people all over the world.don't waste your time on them. You've got better things to accomplish..like healing yourself. i'ts not about what the world thinks about you..it's your life.get out of the emotional field thats consuming your vision. live in the now and the now is good,no lables no worries,no self doubt,only if you believe it,it will continue. learn to love yourself., only you can be your best friend.steer your ship forward..not in circles of fear.read eckhart tolle..

my boyfriend has BPD and wants me to be his safe place, But I don't know how to do that when all his BPD does is push me away... How do i hug someone who has just seriously hurt my feelings and upset me.. Thanks.

i hate that people has being very critical about your videos , sexual orientation or mood swings. It's hard for people to understand us. STOP Critical comments. WE HAVE ISSUES and WE are very Sensitive... People People Be Nice!!!!!!!!!

Saw the work of Bas Jan Ader and thought about you. Weird, huh?

This is how i told my mom i cut

You are great but the tone in this video is too condescendant. Don't like it at all.

Thank you!

I really hope so.

You're welcome!

Thank you so much.

Thank you!
