Does anyone have any advice on how to go about a diagnosis because I’m not 100% obviously as I refuse to self diagnose. I’ve been searching to know what’s going on with me for so long and honestly this resonates the most with me out of everything, especially the dissociation and intense emotions and impulsiveness. I tend to rely on people way way too much and if they hurt me even slightly I just completely self destruct, act impulsively on emotion and regret it later when I’m out of that state. I’m emotionally a very intense person and most people find, for example, my messages very intense or when I care for them I know it’s very overwhelming at times (I’ve tried to work on all of these things a lot). I’m just scared to go to a doctor, especially as I’m young, about a diagnosis. I feel like they won’t listen to me or will think I’m overreacting or invalidate how I feel idk

Thank you to this young woman for sharing her struggle. I am currently living with my sister-in-law who has apparently only being diagnosed with depression, and is on medication but on hearing all the information she fits the high functioning BPD quiet person. Highly empathetic to the point of exhaustion and she lost her possibly narcissistic husband of 44 yrs going on three yrs ago thus went into a terrible depression which has plagued her most of her life if not all. She has the devalued, no sense of worthiness attitude and says way too much I am sorry for this or that at whatever anyone is gong thru that is just part of life. She is afraid we will move out, so like abandoned her. She is in very odd relationship where the man controls the time and activities they do. We love her and want her to have a full life, it just hurts us to see her spend all her day watching the news, soap operas and the Hallmark channel. Any advise?

BPD is caused by complex childhood trauma in addition to being born a highly sensitive person. We were not allowed to feel or express our emotions freely as children, and we internalized the need to NOT RESPOND as a survival tactic. In doing so, we never learned how to process emotions and cope, and our brains became damaged in those regions. We are scared, we yave suffered psychological abuse, we can recover with the right therapy, we CAN heal, but it starts with re-parenting that traumatized inner child. To everyone out there suffering BPD, i love you, you are not alone!
I get very shaky when I express my emotions because my emotions were a literal risk to my own survival as a child.

Same thing happened to me. Try and push that compassion to forgive and be at peace even though she is not able to work through it. It takes a lot of internal suffering for someone to ghost and treat someone else ( but in fact themself) in such a abrupt expulsive way. And it's so hard to accept when what we see is the expression of that pain redirected towards us. Her pain is valid tho, and so is yours. I am really sorry for what you had to endure. I keep the love for my person. But it's been a year since the break up now, I've had the space to process a lot. And despite all the affection I have for him, I do not wish to start another cycle, my well being has to come first. I am at peace with or without him. And I hope you are also.

If they like you even a tiny bit, they make it seem as if you're the best person ever, and you'll get fooled into believing this. He's missing just one extreme of a disorder.

You can rely on people but you have to set a certain boundary with that and be okay with it. BPD causes you to set unrealistic expectations for people but when they are not met you are incredibly hurt. And it depends on what you rely on them for. If you rely on them to take care of you and to motivate you, you're gonna hurt yourself in the end. Because you should be doing that for yourself. Now if you want to rely on someone to be a good listening ear that's okay. Just know that they are their own people too and may not always be available.

I struggle with BPD and I have had people in my life tell me I, "will never change." That statement was enough motivation for me to take charge of my mental health and get the help I needed. I can't afford health insurance so I had to carve out a budget for my out of pocket doctor visits and medication.... 5 years later, and I am now at a point where I am having to accept the fact that the me who was sick all those years ago, truly lost people who believed that the sick me was ME. I have cried countless times under the realization that the people in my life didn't understand my struggles and because of such, I have lost the very people I wish I never would have lost. When you're well, like I am now, reflecting on your sick mind is incredibly daunting and creates a frenzy all over again. I can't stress enough how important it is to be surrounded by those who care about you, love you, and understand that your biggest tribulation in life is your own mind. Having people in your life that support you instead of weaponizing your mental health IS CRUCIAL. From my experience, not having those people in my life leads to feelings of loneliness, lack of support, and the absence of purpose in life. Please remember to be kind to those of us who wake up every morning and battle their own mind. We are our own worst enemy and speaking from experience, all we crave is true love and unconditional support. We are human too.

I was there for a year trying to be there and was actually infact she got closer but when I started to express my own insecurities she got turned off and left essentially. People can have issues but if they are totally emboldened and don’t want to admit anything it’s hard for them to be seen as a total victim. Kindness wasn’t enough . Love wasn’t enough . I infact did tell them they would ruin with everyone I’d they were like that with everyone . The problem was 99 percent on her side and I was ok with it but she was seemingly very arrogant and cruel at times for sure . She then had some random guy pretend she was right about everything and she had no problems and she dated him after me showing real love, simply because he pretended he was her hero and told her everything she wanted to hear about herself . Idk what her exact issue was but people with any disorder should also consider atleast being open to people and kind to them aswell because even someone who goes above and beyond for them at the very least needs some communication and respect,Otherwise disorder or not , they are simply a bully

I was diagnosed with BPD 10 years ago, but I never took it as “part of me”. I understood that it was my tendency to see life in a certain way, but not a part of me. I tried drugs (psychiatric drugs) for 6 years, but they were so detrimental that I decided to stop. Back then I was studying psychiatry and I saw how much havoc those drugs do. I have been without them for 3 years, my prescription now is: not identifying with my thoughts, surfing and walking in nature every day, eating clean, being honest and using little social media. It was a process, of course, but life has been so much better, specially inside my head.

I listened to this young lady and what I took from it was that her nervous system (and hence endocrine system) were shaken out of balance by her life experiences as a child, during her formative years. We all are products of our environments. We all feel, get hurt, suffer. Some of us can never recapture that feeling of balance or ability to regain it, to recenter ourselves quickly and with minimal effort. It is all part of a human condition. I struggle to see where a ‘disorder’ is in all of this as smth that’s inherently in the make of people diagnosed with BPD, other than maybe some greater vulnerability to stress. I can certainly see how her nervous and endocrine system have become disordered as she shows even physical symptoms here, but if you can see such clear root causes or triggers for it in her childhood traumas then why consider it as smth as part of her preexisting makeup, i.e. a disorder? To me it appear as life moulding her as the rest of us into a certain person, in interaction with our genetic and personal predispositions and vulnerabilities. Trauma is not a disorder, although it can certainly make one disordered literally, physiologically and mentally and practically. Am I being simplistic, or are the psychiatrists trying to pathologise all of us? I hope my words aren’t taken as dismissive of actual suffering and their causes.
@isadoramg5153 Жыл бұрын
@@JN-wr9he Beautifully said. I guess that for most psychiatrists it is easier to just categorize people into a group of "disorders" than dealing with the complexity that creates that disorder. For the patient also it can bring some relief in a certain way when you realize "oh, so it's not just me that experience life in this way" but it can also stigmatize you and make you think that this is something you can do nothing about. The person then start carrying this as a part of it's personality. I see that when people say "I AM borderline" or "I AM bipolar" so on and so forth.... The sad thing is that when people are diagnosed with this disorders one of the first steps is to start a psychiatric drug, with no weighing on risks vs. benefits and usually without enough information so that the person can give informed consent. It is also curious to me how we hold psychiatrists opinions as unquestionable facts. But having studied psychiatry for years during medical school I can see that they are normal people just as everybody else. sometimes they are even more disturbed than the so called "patients". I gave up on pursuing a career on psychiatry because I realized that most of what I was learning was on which drugs to give to which person and as I experienced with myself and the patients I followed that is seldom the best answer.

The part where she says that at first, she was happy to finally get a diagnosis but then when she realized how serious it is she was really upset about it and she did excessive research is so relatable. Back when I was diagnosed that was exactly my reaction relief but then I felt like a monster with everything I read online. It's really hard to accept having BPD. It's been 5 years for me and I still haven't really accepted it and always think about what I would be like if I didn't have it.

My beautiful wife of 27 years and a pwBPD, left two years ago July. This is what it was like for me. Her love was the Promised Land and I was eager to prove my devotion. Together we wandered in the desert for many years, looking for the lush green forest at the edge of a lake, where surrounded by snow-capped mountains she could find peace and purpose. I brought plenty of food and water, which never seemed to quench her thirst or satisfy a hunger she could not describe. Occasionally we came upon an oasis where I was content and happy. In time, once again, the spring would go dry and we would resume the search, each time in a new direction. I am now very weary, our water supply a burden I no longer wish to carry. I tap into the last reserves of inner strength to stumble onward in this barren landscape, gripped by a fear of what is beyond the ever-shifting dunes ahead. The blazing sun is high over-head, so I no longer have my bearings, but once again, there on the horizon a sea of green. Her enchanting song once again draws me to Bristol Cove on the lake in the mountains. We lay down together in the cool green grass, but I soon realize, once again it is an illusion. Like a mirage, in a blink of an eye, it all vanishes and this time she too is gone. I realize I've lost the faith, I must give up the quest and turn back, no longer sure of a way home. The sun has now set and in the darkness, I cannot resist the urge to look over my shoulder with each uncertain step. It has become second nature to worry about her; I will always feel her pain and hunger, her loneliness in the void. I am overwhelmed with an unfamiliar sensation and try to accept I no longer have the power to rescue her from the discontent she has felt her entire life, even worse, I realize my arrogance to think I ever could. At the same time, I try to erase the image that she may have found the forest without me and is swimming in the cool clear water. I think "how weak of me to have given up" and in the knowledge that I will never see her again, what am I to do with the love I still have for her. It pours out onto the dry sand and evaporates without purpose. The witness of my existence now gone, my heart is tormented by waves of sorrow, like the breakers of some ancient sea crashing on a rocky shore. The primeval granite reduced to particles of sand, now long forgotten, so too will our story be relegated to a footnote, then fade on the parchment of time with each passing generation. I pry upon the wind, hoping to hear her sweet voice one last time, a faint echo from the promise land as she whispers, "I now know he truly loved me". I imagine her weeping with the thought "how could I have been blind for all those years, we should have found paradise together". It was a leap of faith she was unable to take, inflected with an invisible wound, suffered alone in her cradle so many years ago, long before her happiness became the purpose of my life. Our special place by the lake will forever remain lost beyond the horizon and when she or I, the last of what was once “us” departs this worldly existence, no one will say, “They were in love and are together again”.

@@JN-wr9he It's important to label the disorders to actually treat/help people properly. I recently was diagnosed with BPD but before that I was being treated for something else, and the treatments not only weren't compatible but actually made my symptoms worse. Whether people want to wear the diagnosis on their sleeve and advertise that to others is up to the individual, but diagnosis is important to those who can get it. Also, those last 2 sentences shows why it's important to get diagnosed. I almost unalived myself back in the day because of the intensity of emotions because that's all that I had heard from my parents growing up because I was "normal", so I just assumed I couldn't handle life. It's a struggle every day, but even having the proper name and things to look up/research and get the proper help is extremely helpful.

How does someone find a passion ? I've been trying to find something. I just can't. There are things I like or love but overall everything feels empty. People talk about passion for everything and anything but I just don't have a passion at all. Update: First off I want to thank everyone for the support. I'm sorry for not replying to anyone, I get overwhelmed easily. I also want to say to anyone who also is struggling to find a passion in life to not give up and it's never to late to find one. I wanted to update you guys though because I think I finally found it. I've always loved animals, but recently I found a true passion with working with them. I didn't want to be a vet because it would break my heart, but i recently started to work in an exotic pet store and I have a huge love for all animals, but I really love the misunderstood ones. Going to work and being surrounded by them every day makes me so incredibly happy. I know now I want to be a herpetologist, own my own exotic pet store one day and do educational programs to teach people they aren't scary but wonderful pets. i believe we can all find something for ourselves. It was a huge struggle for me over the years, but I finally found it and I thought I'd let you all know. Sending lots of love ♥
@SuperCamilator4 жыл бұрын
It's really hard! But sometimes the word passion is too hyped up as if it has to be something that should click and instantly give you a feeling of knowing it's the right thing and blah blah.. no, I think people just try things out or just choose to do something that they even just maybe would like a bit and actually trying it. I think it could help with the feeling of being able to find confidence in liking/being positive, confident and passionate about something and if you didn't like the thing you tried out you can maybe know better what you actually like. And sometimes maybe you have a deep interest for something and maybe it's a passion but you haven't realised because your concept of having a passion would only include obvious things that everyone around you are passionate about like football or music or art. For example I discovered how much I like psychology and hearing about different diagnoses and how different people are, people with ocd, narcissistic people, bipolar people, borderline, schitzofrenia and stuff like that. And before I would never actually see this as something to be passionate about for me because I had only watched KZfaq and partly been stuck on videos of extreme hoarders or just stuff like that and kind of think that no that's not something to have a passion about😂 and also I hadn't discovered that much in this interest. But now I realised this and just want to buy books written by extraordinary people who think very differently or just have been through crazy things because of how they where born or because of their experiences! So yeah I tried to explain it as good as I can haha very long text sorry

Living with BPD is the worst, I was recently diagnosed with it and it made me realize that’s why I acted different around other people. Every emotion is so overwhelming, even if the emotion is simply neutrality. I was told by MANY therapists as a child that my emotions were unstable and that those will take a toll on my actions and way of thinking, and they all tried to give me advice for such but it never worked. When I snap, I tend to absolutely wreck my reputation around my friends. I tell them my emotional overloads are terrible, and that they should proceed with caution when talking to me during one, as each time I’ve had an emotion overload I’ve wrecked both myself and everyone else around me, and when they tried to leave me it made the situation much worse. Even worse, I always have the delusion that they still love me and want to be friends with me and just want distance, so I keep trying to contact them as if we still know each other. I’ve been told I was an asshole, a terrible person, etc. all because I can’t control or express my emotions properly. I was different from all the other kids in my life, but I never expected it to be this way, as my mom told me, “I was depressed when I was younger too, but it wasn’t as bad as this.”

I.e something that people (without bpd) would think is a very minor thing could actually be a major thing to someone with bpd (hense why we say, you're over-reacting). I give an example and this is true from my ex. I went to the park on my own (because i was bored waiting for her to finish work and it was a gorgeous day). She asks me why i went to the park on my own and then associates it to me being a padeo. Its an extreme reaction and only someone who isnt mentally well can reach to that conclusion from just that piece of information. I get you are suffering but if you aren't in therapy to re-train the thought process of the brain, its gonna be virtually impossible to maintain healthy relationships.

The comments in here just have me sobbing, we are so many yet we feel so few. Not only do we shame and doubt ourselves on a daily basis but now that the awareness of this illness has spread…so we may try to help ourselves..we get to have only added paranoia due to the judgment towards BPD by the people around us. I’ve been in bed for three days now and I’m paralyzed with my sadness, I feel like my eight months down is here and I’m terrified. I can’t tell you how many eight months down I’ve had and for a time there, it felt like maybe that would never happen again. Like others here have said, show some kindness, we feel these judgements deeper than you will ever know.

You can simply explain that you were going through a mental health crisis and didn’t have the skills to cope. Tell her that you’ve learned a lot since you disappeared, and would like to reconnect with her. Let her know that you miss her and think of her daily. Explain to her that you’ve been embarrassed about not reaching out sooner but fear overtook you. Please reach out to her. Sounds like she deserves that. You do as well.

Dear sister Amanda trust and know that there is nothing wrong with you that you are okay. Meaning it is okay to be different and okay to struggle but as you stated the tears to know that you are not alone. Many times we feel that we are alone on this journey That's what Satan wishes to do is separate us when in fact we are not the only ones who struggle. The key point is yes to know that you are not alone on this journey that there are others and take the time to recognize our behaviors and learn to challenge them. For me what works wonderful with CBT cognitive behavioral therapy. There is also DBT which is dialectical behavioral therapy and that is directed towards borderline personality and was a super awesome study definitely highly recommended it's nice to chat with a therapist but if it becomes nothing more than a bitch session complaining about the world or all we see ourselves as victims then it is not beneficial. The best therapist is one that will challenge the belief system give you homework to change our behaviors for me I saw your pain picked up the books and started obsessively studying what was wrong with everyone around me LOL after a very long time I sat down and looked at me and said what the heck is wrong with me. My type is always been to date BP's. And as with you I had or we had no understanding what was going on between us because we could not see the hidden issues as you are now able to see. Please pick up your arms and start studying all that you can definitely look into dialectical behavioral therapy called DBT and there is a workbook it really made a big difference in my life too though I do not struggle with BP I believe I'm far worse but have been able 2 challenge and make a difference and my belief system and how I see things if we have spent so many years living a certain way it takes a very long two of dedication to change and live a new way. One last point I always remembered about a VP but I never understood the validation point their struggles needing to be validated and recognized my girlfriend was much like a submarine in the dark sending out sonar waiting for anything to come back good or bad is at least validation.

I felt exactly like her when I got my diagnose. It is incredible to hear her and see so much of myself in her words. Fortunately I never had self harm behaviours or suicide thoughts but everything else is just like talking to a mirror. Changing jobs constantly, romantic relationships, friendships. Impulsiveness has been having a huge toll on many of my relationships. Not to the point of hitting my girlfriends or something near but saying offensive things that just come out in the heat of a discussion and I don’t really feel it or ending a relationship as a defence mechanism. Suddenly, an hour or so after “the episode” ends, I start to become introspective and don’t even recognise myself. I feel so bad about it and try to do things right, that it appears that I have no self love or self respect like “please come back! Don’t leave me”. It’s horrible. Sense of emptiness and big impulsiveness in buying and spending money on things as a way to feel a bit happy is also something a person with BPD has and in my case it got to a point of having a huge debt and becoming even more anxious, preoccupied and depressed. It’s like a bubble if you don’t have the right support by your side. If you have the means try and get therapeutical help, even if it also means to take some prescription drugs from your psychiatrist. If you’re reading this because you’re dealing with someone with BPD, please be patient and try to show that person that you love her/him and you’re not going anywhere. It is not our fault and no one suffers more with this than us. It’s one of the best ways to help. It also means you’re a great person and deserve the best. Thank you :)

In my experience, Sammy is an extremely rare case of BPD in which the diagnosis has been accepted as opposed to flat out rejected and then in denial about it. As an outlier she seems extremely proactive about identifying her own flaws and improving her own circumstances - super imperative to her own success. She is very lucky to have the support she has which is also rare due to the difficulty people who suffer with this have with sustaining long and healthy relationships. I hope that all the constant self regulation doesn't get too exhausting as I know it can be. Keep going, I know that everyone who has watched this video is really rooting for you to really succeed!

When Kyle said passion is a form of self care I think of doing my makeup as a form of self care because I like to do it and it makes me feel like I’m taking care of myself I also have BPD and it’s helped me big time

I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area, I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free,the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did

The feeling rejection is overwhelming in bpd. Getting a 'no' for an answer decimates their sense of identity, crushes it beyond belief. Everything is personalized to the power 10. A no/ low sense of self esteem and a damaged core forces them to seek constant comfort, support, recognition, validation from the outside world. And You dare deny it....you challenge their sense of identity, revive their rejection wounds and bring out the worst of survival instincts. How much damage absent minded parents can do! Beyond belief, beyond repair. I wish they just realise that their spouses did not raise them, they do not deserve their anger n resentment. I feel for them but UNLESS a BPD REALISES this, nothings gonna change. The reactions of the past r not fitting as a trigger response for the present. Its not a war zone anymore. Asking for therapy n help is a positive sign though.

When I get rejected, it only aligns with my own beliefs that I'm not worthy and I accept it and move on. I've often wondered if I have BPD (I know there's something wrong with me), but I don't fit a lot of the usual symptoms.

I'm avoidant and I can't handle rejection either. I've decided I can never be in a romantic relationship because of this.

@@Neophema hunny..heal ....tk your time to heal. Relationships dont define us. They should only compliment us. You are aleast aware of your issue so already miles ahead. Save yourself and the other more pain n sorrow. Else the co dependant cycles never end , triggers never stop. Fall in love with you n get to know you. Heal.

You do realize not reacting to a trigger for bpd is like not drinking water for two days finding a lake and being told not to drink from it. Its an impulse and controlling an impulse on the borderline spectrum isnt going to happen on a whim. It takes years lf therapy and consuling and most of us go without because society has made us feel ashamed for the way we feel.
