I was diagnosed with BPD since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting BPD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Thank you for sharing this point!
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
How to prevent it being widespread I'd say that we need to break the cycle of child abuse. Also, give parents free therapy and continuous info on raising a child.
Between social workers and medicaid, we have that in the US for impoverished families.
omg lol@@gamera5160
@@gamera5160 Tell me you've never been on Medicaid without telling me you've never been on Medicaid. Finding a therapist is damn near impossible, and God forbid you want to see a psychiatrist.
BPD has a genetic component you can't exactly get rid of.
You can give everything for free, some people are just rotten inside
How to help someone with BPD as a friend. Be patient with them and try not to take outbursts personally. Know that they legitimately struggle to contain them but sometimes fail, and they feel terrible about it. Realize that what you might see as them pushing you away, might actually be them feeling you don't want them around and they are giving you space so they don't seem so needy. Reach out to them, let them know you want to be around them. Even if they don't take you up on the offer immediately, it will mean the world to them. Please, if you have any empathy for peoples pain, never, ever, ghost or ignore a friend with BPD. That hurts more than you know. It is simply the worst.
I wish to God my friends understood this. I've tried explaining it, but they just don't get it.
Notes taken! Thank you for sharing:)
The thing is, my ex-girlfriend (with BPD) specifically requested me to "give her space", so I have been. I just don't feel able to ignore specific, open-ended requests to stay out of her life, particularly as a man - it feels very dangerous (to me) to risk being seen or depicted as a 'stalker' or 'obsessed ex-partner'. She is a busy woman with a young family and a job. We were colleagues at first, swiftly after that friends and very soon lovers (she describes herself as promiscuous and has a string of marriages and relationships in the past, so I suppose she uses sex instead of, say, drugs, to numb pain). I was blissfully happy, but it obviously wasn't working nearly as well for her due to the jealousy issues and all the associations with a relationship. She broke up with me and we had no contact for about six months. But we live near each other and I did start seeing her again and rekindled the relationship. All the old problems returned immediately and we decided to try being "just friends". We had a good few months like that, but eventually she told me she was "struggling with our friendship" and needed me to leave her alone "until she figured it out". There were times when we were together when she would have a meltdown and demand I leave her house - I used to get round those demands by telling her I had a responsibility to ensure her safety and would comply as soon as she was back on an even keel, and hugging her in the meantime; after she calmed down, she would rescind the demand and allow me to stay with her while she slept (she would get exhausted by these attacks). That was probably legitimate and beneficial, but this separation - like our first, six-month separation - feels very different. I'm being rationally and calmly requested to stay out of her life altogether, not kicked out of the house in a rage. Do you think I should disobey her and try to work my way back in? When we occasionally exchange a few words in the street nowadays, I always attempt to communicate that I care about her and will always have time for her; she is pleasant to me but doesn't take the opportunity to get back together. Should I keep persisting and hoping to rekindle our relationship, do you think?
but i'm always right when i'm not wanted, so it's just safer to stay completely alone.
@@avonacolyteI feel like you should consult a specialist or someone of that sort, usually it's not a good idea to take advice like this from someone online, after all people can have their own biases and viewpoints bleed into the answers they give you, and it could also be blatantly wrong advice
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporessss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporessss
Since people in the comments are spreading hate, just wanted to point out a study found that "Eighty-eight percent of the patients with borderline personality disorder studied achieved remission.", Meaning that while it DID take a decade, 9/10 people with borderline today who have support and therapy will achieve remission within a decade, and most of the people within the study did so in under the 10 year span of the study.
Remission does not mean it is gone. It’s a personality, that doesn’t change. You and the person you are with will need to learn to accept it. People don’t really change
@@woy8 could a Medication like low dose 2.5 mg help in BPD??
@@woy8 2.5 mg Olanzapine for example
@@woy8yes they do,see Alexa 😁
@@izabelazielak8963 who is alexa? and I strongly disagree, even more low level personality traits like extrovert or introvert, or wether you like movies or books dont change very much over a lifespan, let alone very strong personality traits, I haven't seen any real significant personality changes in any people in my whole life.
No belonging to a diagnoses does not mean you personality has changed, probably just means you have learn to manage it in some wyas that it does not reach the complete diagnosis anymore. when under stress, and you can manage it less well, it will be back fully (but it was never anything else, just managed)
My husband has BPD. He is the sweetest, kindest guy I have ever met. He is in therapy for it and I’m so proud of how he is doing ❤
It’s not easy but he is worth it.
loving your husband, understanding his mental illness and of course a rat lover. you’re such a wonderful woman and i’m happy people like you exist and are just as sweet as your partner can be in his best moments. Please give yourself credit too!
Coming from a wife with BPD who has a lovely and understanding husband and of course, loves and owns ratties.
From our (the BPD partner’s) perspective, you (our partner) are everything, the most cherished and important part of our lives, and you guys being able to love us despite our illness, will always be rewarded with our deepest, purest, unrequited love.
I love my parents very much, but my partner chose me, they don’t “have” to deal with me, they want to. We are forever grateful and loving.
Even when it gets bad, please always know that our partner is our most cherished person, above any impulse and addictions we may have. Your husband loves you and appreciates you so much. Thank you for being one of the few people who doesn’t demonize us for having a mental disease that is not only destructive towards others, but to ourselves. We needed someone like you and we are lucky that we found you :)
That's lovely! Most are genuinely sweet, just a bit up and down 😊
This is beautiful and I wish you both the best in the future x
Bless your good heart 😢❤ My next partner has to be like this
Your a star❤
I know one thing… having a family full of bullies is hell for a person with BPD. I refuse to be around them. My mental health improved at such a fast , steady pace that i had to ask my fiancé if i was being delusional. Her telling me she’s been silently cheering for me made my heart smile. I encourage everyone to do what’s best for you if possible.
My former husband was a bully who gaslighted me among other things. I finally snapped and out came the rage and hurt of 25 years of sadistic abuse. If you are the one presenting with the problem in a relationship, you just might be the one who is being driven crazy. One thing to know is that psyschologists will not tell you what they see in your 'partner' that is causing your symptoms .Imagine loving and marrying someone who doesnot want you as a woman because he is gay and in the closet. He married you for the appearance of being straight and so you could fulfill traditional household duties of the wife. It's crazymaking . You won't hear the truth in therapy because you can't out someone. That is the individual's responsibility to reveal the the truth but they are too cowardly. It is easier for them to make excuses as to why there is not sex or closeness. Your weight is is an easy deflection. 116 when you got married
but now your 122. Disgusting- but what was wrong on the honneymoon? I'm now 74 yo
and I'm still exhausted from this hell- married at 22.
Its really hard to live with bpd, i always feel like i have improved until my anger bursts out again and again.
I've used physical activity to channel my outbursts, that's not always an option.
Learning to bottle up and release later isn't easy
Your anger doesn't burst out, you choose to act on your feelings. Manipulating language to remove/lessen/misdirect accountability isn't going to help you in the future.

I suffered severe depression several years ago. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd.

My ex-wife had BPD. Her outbursts and depressive episodes were manageable until she started chasing me with steak knives over minor things like comments and opinions which became too much to manage. It really is a terrible disorder and I'm sorry for anyone who has to experience it.
I spent 22 years with mine, exactly the same pal, been split up 7 month now and im only realising how effed up it actually was.
I'm glad you ended things with her.
While I feel for people with BPD, BPD should never be used as an excuse to hurt others.
They have sex with people they just met and do so ALL the time.
You did the right thing getting away from her before kids entered the mix. My mother has BPD and she made the lives of my sister, myself, and my father absolute hell for decades. She's so delusional she honestly doesn't think any thing's wrong with her and we all deserved the abuse we suffered at her hands. Any kids you had with her would've suffered the same fate or worse.
@@Coryraisadont ""feel"" for people with ""bpd"" theyre retarded selfish narcs that are incapable of caring for anybody else but themselves and always cry "MUHH BPD" whenever they get confronted for being in the wrong
My therapist recomendable journaling and meditation it works for me , it creates a safe space where I could freely express myself and later on once I’m calm go back to read my state of mind and break down what actually was going on vs my outburst in paper. Safe and i don’t hurt others or myself
Thanks for sharing!
I will try this. Thank you.
I have bpd and I was always ashamed of it because it sounds like about the worst diagnosis there could be. My therapist has helped a lot but as far as seeing public information I think that you did a wonderful job. It didn't make me feel ashamed or like I was a freak. I think that this video could be such a good tool for people who wasn't to learn about bpd and understand their loved ones better. Thank you!
It means a lot! Thank you, and much love. Keep going!
BPD is a spectrum, the worst cases don't even recognize how bad their behavior or the diagnosis is. They just see everyone else as having a problem with their behavior, not with their behavior being a problem
@@InjectBleachshe isint there to bother you any more get over her
Don't you dare be ashamed. Shame is what traps us in our illness. I know it's easier said than done, but you have to let it go. All of it. The shame. The blaming. The being the victim. All of it. You can't change if you hold onto that poison.
But that rhetoric in general, that you won't change because you're evil, worthless garbage, is straight up bullshit. Fuck them. They don't understand us. They don't understand what we went through. And most importantly, they don't know what it means to live with this illness. We are strong people. I'm not proud of being BPD, but I also know that not many people could take the mental strain that we have to put up with pretty much 24/7. Let's see them be us for one day. Just one day. I bet they couldn't handle it.
Letting go and taking responsibility are the two most important steps you can take. Having a strong support system also helps. I betrayed a group of close friends when I was younger and more impulsive. I walked away from them. And honestly, they should have walked away from me. I don't deserve them. But they chose to forgive me. They saw something in me worth saving. Worth loving. Worth believing in. That small act of human kindness, which I did not deserve, helped me to see that I am worth of those things, if only I could see it for myself. Without them...well, I don't like to think about it.
You are worth saving. You are worth loving. You deserve a second chance and you deserve the chance to change because everyone does, BPD or not. NEVER allow others to tell you otherwise. NEVER allow those lies into your mind. Fuck them. They aren't important at the end of the day. The people who cherish and treasure you are. Keep them close.
My wife has bpd. It's absolutely horrible, our entire life is just a gigantic insane depressing mess. She's left me at least twice and always comes back because she can't do it alone. She stopped loving me in 2007 but refuses to leave or get a divorce and I am just being drug along for the ride. It's a pretty horrible ride to be honest and it's driven me suicidal because she has to do everything but wants to do nothing and must have control over everything but doesn't want to have to control anything. To make matters worse shes perfect, does nothing wrong and it's everyone elses fault. If course, she is also totally fine and has no problems whatsoever. 😔 Thank you for attending my vent session.
Yeah, she has the disorder and you suffer the consequences. Its like they always say: "how DARE you, this is SO UNFAIR?"'
And they do have a point there.
It's NOT fair.
Of course, she is also totally fine and has no problems whatsoever. And that is why she blames YOU for all her problems: makes sense.
The universe of a person with BPD, and we need to feel sorry for people with this disorder, according to the laws of that universe.
You're not alone brother.... I'm currently passing through same. It's really terrible, I love her, she's a good soul but this mental health condition destroys it all... I'm already filing for divorce.
My life is a mess, I need peace. You can't help who doesn't wanna be helped
@@emmanuelbamidele6968 amen to that
@worfoz Um, no you don't?
I have BPD and I'm aware that my behaviors or the way I want to act out effects others. No one forced you to stay in an unhealthy relationship, sounds like you need to work on your boundaries. We don't need anyone to feel sorry for us, but we do need people to understand that our brains are wired this way. It's on us to relearn how to react, but acting like we want to be this way is dumb.
At some point you have to realize that you’ve made the choice to stay despite the neglect/abuse. Sticking around for that many years is honestly just enabling her behavior, which admittedly sounds more like narcissistic personality disorder with the whole perfection complex and self-perceived inability to do any wrong.
I was in a BPD residential as a kid (age 14)
I would like to note that this disorder CAN be diagnosed in kids HOWEVER it usually isn’t till 18. This is important to not because of the rapid increase of self diagnosing. Self dx can be harmful to both the person and the person who actually has BPD. Personality disorders are dangerous to self treat and diagnose because of how deeply rooted they are to the personality.
Just because someone isn't diagnosed with a personality disorder doesn't mean they don't have a personality disorder.
Videos like these help me gain a better understanding of what I'm dealing with and how to communicate with my peers and family about said condition. It helps me because I know I'm not alone. Diagnosed or not it helps to know what to seek out first from a therapist rather than having session after session and going no where. Healthcare is expensive.
I also promise you people arent self diagnosing themselves with bpd that is ridiculous lmao. It's got a reputation almost as bad as npd.
People need to self dx before they can get a proper dx. You don't just walk into a pysch appointment saying somethings wrong, you go in and say "i think i have xyz", they ask why, and after your explanation of symptoms they tell you, yeah you're right, or no you're not. A person trying to heal is going to go in with the thought of "maybe i have this disorder."
@@monsterglacier there’s a difference between self diagnosing and self suspecting,
self diagnosing is telling people you have blank disorder without a proper diagnosis
self suspecting is perfectly ok
i agree im also 14 and i relate to the things said in this video..
@@pluto-lq4cn it’s a slippery slope as a teenager.
I had every single sign and could have been diagnosed when i was 14 , my 16th birthday is a week away, and I no longer meet the requirements to be diagnosed and the chances are it will stay that way by the time I meet the age “threshold”.
Still, it’s okay to self suspect but it’s not okay to stay that you have a disorder and you know everything about it because you did research and to discount actual professionals
I think that BPD comes from abusive childhood. Children have no ability to avoid constant abuse and or harm.
I think we need to be aware of people with this condition and show them extra grace and patience.
Helping others with these kinds of problems can be hugely rewarding.
It's more rewarding to give than it is to receive
I have BPD. Things you can do to help me: Be consistent and not hot/cold. Be a good and emotional communicator. Don't gaslight.
Things someone with BPD can do: Learn as much as you can about your disorder. I managed to weaken all symptoms within three years since getting the diagnosis. I did this with therapy and countless hours of reading about BPD. You can do it! It doesn't have to be lifetime. :)
Thanks for sharing
My gf has a borderline personality disorder and guess what ? She is cheating me , now when I can't talk to her , how can I even communicate with her ? How to heal her , man the fuck is this all about
I have patience with her , I give her time , she's not fulfilled, but yeah she's happy with that other guy , she begs him to stay with her , and I know that guy wanna use her for her body , every gate is closed , what shall I do ?
Had been she a stable mind , I had TALKED about that guy to her , but due to BPD and other mental complications, I am a villain like guy to her .... Bruhh what should I doo Mannnn
@@thunderestmini I don't know. If she is unmanaged, meaning not in therapy and without self awareness of her whole inner world, there is little you can do.
I only got better after a severe crises that lasted 3 years. I finally learned that I HAVE to work on myself if I want to be happy.
I have BPD, my partner TRIES to be supportive but it’s friggin hard. I’m better on my own but yea…. You are correct in your post. Love and light ❤
@@thunderestminibpd and shit behavior are two different things. Just because you have bpd doesn't give you free reign to be a bitch. She is using it to blame her actions on this.
I grew up with a parent with BPD. The black and white thinking is hard to deal with, and as a kid you take it on board, especially the negative. You're viewed as either the best kid in the world (when you do something good) or the worst, with every family problem being your fault and your responsibility.
It can really mess you up. You end up believing you are the sole reason your family is falling apart and it is your job to fix it.
I ended up working in mental health as an adult and gaining an understanding of BPD. The moods, manipulation, the idealisation and devaluation... You were either a very good person or a very bad person, there was no in-between.
I learned, in order to have a relationship as an adult that I couldn't be the therapist for my family member any more. I needed to place boundaries. I'd reward 'good' behaviour with engagement. I'd ignore manipulative behaviour and outbursts by physically removing myself. It took quite a long time, but now we can actually have a functional relationship. They know I won't tolerate certain behaviours.
BPD not only effects the person with the condition but everybody around them. You need to find a strategy that works for everybody. If possible, find a good CBT or DBT therapist.
this is very relatable. Thanks for sharing.
You just described me. I’m in my 30s and have a mother with BPD but won’t seek therapy. It’s a struggle.
I carry so much guilt for putting up boundaries for myself, my husband, and our 3 daughters.
But I just want to be freed from the psychological hold that I’m under. The guilt. Being split. Etc.
I. Can. Never. Win.
Even when I try….i somehow end up with her dissatisfied.
I feel for you Brooke. I went through the same guilt when I started to put up boundaries in the beginning. I felt I was being too hard, especially when she started crying, and it seemed genuine. But then I'd catch obvious manipulation and I thought "enough!! This is too draining" I just didn't want to visit at all.
I had a breakthrough over Christmas a number of years ago. I was getting these vicious text messages, full of manipulation and telling me what an awful person I was, always a let down, that I never loved her, she'd be better off dead - "is that what you want?", playing me off against my brothers and blah blah blah .
I just pointed out every tactic that was being used and reflected it back to her. Of course it was denied. But every subsequent text message I'd point out the manipulation in that one as well.
Anyway, the next day I went over to her house and we talked about it. She actually took it on board. I told her I wasn't going to put up with any of these tactics and that I was just going to remove myself in the future. The good behaviour, I'd reward with my time and attention. After a while she learned what she was able to get away with. It's generally been pretty good on the whole.
It's going to be hard though, and I can't guarantee your mum will respond in the same way. But this also came after many attempts on my behalf over the years.
I'd recommend a really good book. It's called 'Stop Walking on Eggshells' by Paul Mason. It's a very cathartic read!
All the best!! @@brookephelps2162
@chriper77 I genuinely appreciate your response. It has caused drastic damage in the family. My brother has been no contact with her for 2+ years now and because my husband and our daughters are triangulated into the mess, we’ve been cut out of my brothers life along with his wife and kids. It’s heartbreaking. I’ve had so much resentment for her breaking our family apart because she keeps texting him to try and manipulate him. It’s so irritating. I just need her to stop with her bizzare behaviors but she doesn’t. It’s exhausting.
@@brookephelps2162 I wrote back to you a couple of weeks ago, but looks like the comment was deleted. I'm so sorry for what you're going through
it's a response to trauma or abuse, either by lived experience or genetically inherited or both.
About the causes, in psychology class they said it is caused by the growing up environment. It was often from families with lack of discipline and order, and also to much discipline or abuse as you mentionned.
I noticed a child's personality can be structured around DPD due to 'adverse' environment. Also firmly believe that consistent BDP traits are purely genetic. For the first group could heal from it, whilst the second might be associated with longer duration.
My girlfriend has bpd she makes me cry everyday due to her anger lashes and her threats to leave me and that how it’s her last straw and then she comes back immediately is tiring mentally for me but i truly love her and ill always be here for her
I unfortunately do this to my boyfriend I hate myself when I do it, he the sweetest most caring person in the world and I sometimes feel that I don’t deserve someone so kind :(
You are dependent.
Thank you for a clear, short and concise video. A lot of psychologists on CZcams overexplain these conditions in their videos.
I’ve been battling BPD for two years now, and as a twenty year old college student, hearing the Alex story and reading all the thoughtful comments sharing the same experiences has really given me the motivation to keep going just a little stronger.
If others can get the help they need, achieve remission, then there’s nothing to say I can’t. I got this.
I just feel sorry for everyone in college. I still occasionally have flashbacks and have to remind myself that that was decades ago and those days are thankfully long over.
It’s also important to know that recovery and healing isn’t a linear thing. Yes symptoms become more manageable with a few years of effort, therapy and in my case medication. But things happen, life gets shitty and that can sometimes cause you to backslide into old shitty habits and coping mechanisms. It’s important to recognize when it happens or listen to your support network if they point it out. But don’t ever wallow in shame if you do backslide. Confront it, but be kind to yourself, dust off the mistakes, and move forward.
It’s hurts soooo much when my relationships end because of my BPD. Especially when my ex’s call me a narcissist on their way out. It destroys me when I’m alone. I feel so misunderstood.
@@InjectBleach I’ve entered therapy, and I am now getting treatment and medication to help with my mental health. Maybe you should learn about BPD and keep your ignorant comments to yourself.
That's not ignorance, just don't be narcissistic and treating people like crap. If therapy enables you to treat people well then keep at it.

@@InjectBleachyour being a jerk and treating people like crap tbh
@@leeortiz2687You choose your actions buddy. It’s not borderline, it’s you that you choose to be a jerk. I know a lot about borderline individuals, they’re predictable as fk. Stop blaming your actions to your disorder, take f responsibility and grow the f up and treat your partner with respect, if you have the urge to harm, go pick on some toxic people or something or punching bag like i do. I am a person who has no empathy either but you don’t see me harm innocent people or harm my partner….You choose your own actions, I choose to be empathic much as I can and support my partner what she needs, you choose to be an jerk to everyone or whatever. There is a difference buddy. Stop blaming to your disorder….Take responsibility like I do.
I used to act out a lot when I was younger, but now as I approach middle age, I isolate myself and avoid conflict. Everyone around me, even my own husband, needs to be kept out of reach mentally: this means that I put on a mask when spending time with them. I keep my inner thoughts private; I remain pleasant and posed. Why do I do this? Because this way my inner monster does not come out. If someone is too close, I tend to act like no boundaries exist (not on purpose!) and just pour out all of my emptiness and despair. This in return makes the other party stressed, confused. So as long as I keep everything to myself, life seems to be stable enough.
Your post could have come directly from my brain. For almost 60 years I lived like that and it literally almost killed me. You must stop the cycle. Lots of therapy and meditation have brought me to life. Please get professional help immediately. You just can't do it alone, trust me, I know.
I have worked in non clinical mental health support for 13 years. I often spend more time with them over years than their families, friends, doctors, psychiatrists, and other allied health services. Empathy, persistence, patience, compassion, education and very strong boundaries are helpful.
My son couldn’t live with it and committed suicide. 2 years 3months ago. It’s a horrible diagnosis. He was an amazing young man with a horrid diagnosis.

That's terrible, I hope you're getting some support yourself. X
@@bonitobonita9263 I have.
Most people are completely unable and unequipped to handle befriending someone with bpd. I’ve tried to change, but it’s so painfully obvious that I’m not being genuine. People tend to just read it as me faking intent or interest. At this point, I don’t even blame people. Would I want a friend like me? Probably not. I’m starting to think I might just be better off alone.
That's not a bad thought, and I even think it is THE solution.
As you say, it's about inability: their inability to deal with BPD and also the inability of borderliners to deal with "them". And I know from life experience: you can not wait until "they" learn to deal with you. In the case of BPD, YOU are the problem and YOU need to learn to cope with YOUR emotions first.
A friendship will not teach you this basic stuff. Friendships are supposed to me mutual beneficial, you need another kind of relationship.
And about being genuine, it might be painfully obvious that you first and foremost need a relationship with your very self.
It sounds new age but it's the bpd problem: would you like to have a friend like yourself? Because it is your self that you offer to other to befriend with. So go and meet yourself and start having a friendly relationship with your very self, then you know how it feels like to have you as your friend.
Therapy is your friend now. And practice kindness to random people you meet. No need to fixate on the idea of ‘having friends’. Learn to be your own friend first.

Pretty sure I have this issue and it does drive me completely insane, I feel totally severed from life and have bizarre rage over nothing issues that I end feeling immense guilt over within moments. I’ve always recognized I’m a bit of a nut so I try to consciously work against myself, but it only works 1/10 times and I just feel like a really bad person all the time. I refuse relationships to avoid dragging anyone else into it.
In my twenties I thought I must have this - I had all the symptoms and it made me suicidal. At 31, however, I was diagnosed with autism. Since then, and after making a major effort to work around autism and moderate my autistic traits, things have improved greatly for me. In self-help parlance, I "did the work". Subsequently I fell in love with a woman who actually does have BPD, and I could really relate to and understand what I was seeing in her self-defeating behaviours; we're not together any more, but it was her choice, not mine. I think she had to get me out of her life because of the unbalancing effect an intense relationship has on BPD sufferers - which is tragic. "The work" has not produced the same improvements in her life, probably because BPD is actually a more damaging condition than autism, despite the striking similarities in how it manifests. I think much depends on personal circumstances; I was lucky, she wasn't.
Thank you for sharing your story @avonacolyte!
Can I ask you what similarities crossover between bpd & autism
@@onetun6953 Extreme difficulty in maintaining social relationships - characterised, at least in my case, by the 'splitting' between excessive affection and excessive denigration of the other parties. Hypersensitivity to minor and unintended rebuffs, verging on intentional self-sabotage - this can be caused by "cognitive distortions" about others in BPD, or low empathy in autism, two different ways of describing a pathological "theory of other minds" which are similar in effect. Highly distorted self-image, including negative body image, and self-reproach with depression/anxiety/emotional dysregulation and suicidal ideation.
As a former nurse who worked in a closed psychiatric facility, I would like to mention that when treating BPD patients, very well-structured interdisciplinary teamwork with a fixed set of rules is essential.
If you notice sudden unrest and conflicts in the team, it usually has to do with poor coordination and a weakening of the rules.
Unfortunately, this is not only observed in psychiatric environments and people with BPD (as well as narcissistic personality disorder) can have a negative effect on group structures and group dynamics as employees or even as superiors.
If you notice a sudden increase in employee turnover, but other aspects of the work have not changed radically, then you should take a closer look at the team and look out for signs of personalities that may have tendencies towards narcissism or BPD
Are you saying that employers should fire people with personality disorders?
@@JavierGonzalez-dz8kv
Not necessarily.
Identify if you have any of these personalities within your company and give them the opportunity to get help. Most of these people are suffering and need help.
If your employee doesn't want to get help and seems unwilling to change anything you have to choose to tolerate this employee and risk an increasing amount of turnovers and growing unrest within the team or not.
I got misdiagnosed with BPD multiple times because the therapist just slap a label on it real quick without getting to know me. According to this video, it's true that I never had it, and the therapist can get it wrong. Until one day, I met someone who diagnosed me with Complex-PTSD along with dyslexia.
This is why I don't like psychology. I honestly tried to study it years ago. And keeping up with it there are probably so many people out their that are probably just misdiagnosed that think they are getting better when in reality it's a bit of a mix and just masking things.
I had enough of alot of it through what I read and having to deal with it early on in my life.
@@chaosdirge4906 If you hate psychology because you met one person bad at it, then you'll really hate chemistry 😂
@TheDetectiveJ not because I met one person, because studies show a lot of the people in it are awful and misdiagnosis people in general.
Having also taken a test for a diagnosis at a place here and having a psychologist yell at me simply because I wasn't answering his questions the way that I wanted him too there is that as well. I think that people can have multiple reasons and mentalities in the field all of which come with their own shortcomings. When 70 percent of your studies can't find repeatable results when tested again, that's pretty bad.
Chemistry I wouldn't hate that, people bad at it aren't messing with people's behaviors. I also wasn't bad at it, got good grades in the subject. I just don't agree with it.
It’s just diagnosed way too often. „You‘re emotional? Could be anything. Here’s your BPD label“
Ive been struggling with BPD for the better part of about three to four years. I tried to end my life eight times before I graduated. I wasnt allowed to seek psychological help until I moved out because my family was deeply religious.
I don't have close friends because I do genuinely feel horrible about my out bursts and how I can come off as flakey. At the same time, its one of the most stigmatized disorders. When I got my diagnosis, it was after I was considering sewer slide because one of my friends framed me for something I didnt do to get the whole group to turn on me. They didnt explain anything until I was released and I caught the diagnosis in my discharge papers. I had to figure out a lot of it for myself.
Its common. People dropping you once they find out you have it. And I get it. Cause no one wants to get hurt. Its just really lonely too. And you wish, you pray to god you can stop with the outbursts so you can hang around people again and go to parties and stuff but its *so hard.* So it's easier to stay alone so you don't worry about hurting anyone. I've come acrossed dating profiles with stuff like "DNI if you have BPD." And you feel like an outcasted monster from society. Its a vicious cycle. The isolation hurts your mental health, but no one wants to be around you because of this illness you have no control over, so you end up alone anyways.
As much as someone says that “youre not alone” i know that no one close to me cares
Say yes to therapy, say no to recreational drugs. Weed and alcohol, for example, just cover up the wound temporarily. As my therapist says, the wound from childhood needs to be cleaned out. We need to feel to heal. And if you are drunk or high, you are not feeling - you are doing the opposite (escaping).
Having compassion is key however protect your own emotional health by maintaining healthy boundaries and not taking all behavior personally
There comes a point where you have to just let go of the person with bpd, especially in my case, after I was so patient as a friend and listened to him. He split on me in an instant over a very minor thing, and was very nasty about it.
He has blocked me and he lives in another state.
Before he split on me, I tried to encourage him to get help but he flew into a rage and refused to seek help. He said he is NOT going to change. He has made it very clear that he wants nothing to do with me. We are both 72 years old. He put me through hell. We have to take care of ourselves.
I am beyond impressed with this video. It is beautifully done, straightforward, understanding, and concise !
I have a family member who has BPD, and it's getting almost impossible to live with them. One day they will be loveable and helpful to me, the other they will make me feel like I'm the worst person in the world and it's my fault. I've been living through this for more than 5 or 6 years now and it just gets worse, for both od us. Sometimes I feel like I should just leave and live my life, think about myself first... But I can't leave them. It's terrible and I don't know what to do.
That person see a therapist ?
They know they're harming you and it harms them too.
@@AmicusAdastra They don't want to, no matter how much I try. They've seen a doctor multiple times tho, gets lots of medicine and that's it. Doesn't get much better.
@@boxonothing4087 I know, there are times where they tell me they're sorry and know it's difficult to me... That's why I can't leave. But it's a cicle, harming me and then saying sorry.. I reached the point where I'm taking strong meds to feel better and it's affecting me badly.
Unfortunately recovery requires the individual to want to get better as a baseline. When someone decides to be lost in the sauce of their own condition the best you can do is be willing to help when they finally decide to self regulate.
A huge problem with the condition is a nagging little voice shouting "you are right, and they're lying to you maliciously" and the need to logically realize how irrational it is and internalize it as an initial step.
One thing that I thought of as a quote is: if one person had thought of that, a thousand others may have thought the same. If one person experienced it, then a thousand have experienced it.
This is to show that no one is alone in their thinking and their disorders.
Fearing abandonment so much that people with BPD end up causing it to prevent the pain. It’s a horrid cycle of pain that just overwhelms anyone with the condition and is absolutely awful to experience. I’ve found DBT is useful and joint communities of people with the similar issue helps a lot with feeling less isolated, and helps with advice and techniques on how to deal with it better.
It's so bizarre to me, I've never been diagnosed with BPD and have even asked therapists why that was - generally the summary of answers is something like, "you're ADHD, that explains any overlapping symptoms, you don't self harm, you don't shout at others, you dont hurt them. You have suffered trauma and neglect in your life but the problems you have, have been there since you were born, they didn't manifest after your early formative years in response to stress."
I can tell you though, the best time in my life was in my teens when I was on mood stabilisers. Whether its ADHD or BPD, feeling things intensely, thinking things with virtually no capacity for filter, it's just exhausting and even if I haven't intentionally cut friendships, I also can't invest in them in order to start them either. I don't think I'm undeserving of friends, but I do feel like few people can really "vibe" with me the right way, and when we do I can get a bit overeager, or opposite I can play it too cool fearing scaring someone away. Videos like these are so well intentioned but boy, they can make me feel like an alien in society.
I felt like that too until I read the Bible. Jesus Christ helped to order my thoughts and thinking. Was on ADHD meds growing up, now my thoughts are on spiritual things. My mind is clear and it feels like all that energy and focus has unleashed a sports car inside my head. Started writing and recording music farming etc... my life has never been more ordered or directed
I have dealt with people that have BPD. They frequently originate from fatherless homes, or with abusive parents, which breeds their fear of abandonment. This fear continues as they become adults, where they will presume that they will, once again, be abandoned. They then resort to self sabotage acts and adopt behaviours in such a way that will make abandonment certain.
The way they operate is in extremes, blow things out of proportion and one feels like they have to walk to eggshells when dealing with that kind of people. At this point in my life I keep them at arm’s length, I no longer have the time, interest and patience to deal with an adult behaving like a child that constantly throw tantrums.
So, let me get this straight, you're blaming the victim? How cruel and harsh. You certainly wouldn't have to worry about keeping me at arms length, as you're exactly the type of person who makes BPD sufferers lives so difficult to manage. Instead, maybe you could try a little patience and compassion for your fellow man. Is that really so much to ask?
@@peaceloveandunderstanding You're making excuses. A victim mindset is detrimental because it hinders progress in life. What you've mentioned reflects the typical mental gymnastics of portraying oneself as the victim. However, what about the people who SURVIVE dealing with someone with BPD? Those who endure the mental instability and overall lack of emotional regulation of someone with borderline personality disorder? Are they 'lesser victims' than the ones with BPD?
Stop deflecting and victimizing yourself. Individuals with your mentality are the ones I keep at arm's length, whether they have BPD or not. I don't need someone with loser's mentality in my life.
@@ChrisPTY507 I am not a victim, I am a survivor, despite people like you.
@@ChrisPTY507loser‘s mentality. Do you know how hard it is to fight against the inner demons every day? It’s very rough. All we need is reassurance and stability, a thing we never experienced. It’s a constant struggle, it consumes all your energy to keep going every day even though life slaps you on the face constantly. All the effort keeping your sht together,not slipping in the next depression spiral, not to obsess over thing, managing therapy, thinking about all those emotions and the triggers, constantly questioning yourself. Was it okay what you said? Are you enough? Are you too much? Was the response okay? Have you done your best? Definitely not a loser‘s mindset.
@@ZoeAlecxis Everyone has the right to choose what kind of people they want or do not want in their life. I find it childish to force people into accepting bad behavior and attitudes.
We all go through that stage, and in my case, allowing bad attitudes gave me lots of headaches, which is why I keep such people at arm’s length.
No amount of shaming or criticism will make me change my mind. Stop pushing personal preferences on others, don’t even waste your time on nonsense because that ain’t gonna work on me.
I just got Diagnosed with BPD a couple weeks ago and this vid rlly helps and explains why i feel what i feel
Thank you for educating us! ❤❤
I can defiantly could relate to liking someone for one moment and then hating them; not wanting nothing to do with with them. That and the abandonment is a thing too, but i feel it got better as i age. I'm 29, but one thing ive told people in friendships and relationships is not to toy with my emotions. That's the worse u can do to someone with bpd and it shows my bad side. Black and white thinking was also a thing as well for me. It was either everything is good and jolly or life sucks and i hate it here movements. I do apperciate this video. Bpd is know to be one of the difficult mental disorders to treat along side with other personality disorders
Abused by my big brother at an early age, extreme mood swings, addiction to nicotine, ghosted by my ex girlfriend which left me questioning my life decisions and self-image, socialize with peers normally but somehow felt fake on my end, anger issues over small things in life depending on how I felt at that moment, strange yearnings for pain and suffering of myself and others, emptiness that follows after experiencing certain emotion long enough, unaddressed jealousy for those who have better living circumstances than mine, alternating feelings of selfishness and selflessness. I am aware that I ticked all of the boxes in the video and yet has failed to seek help, out of fear that I am to be seen as different compared to my other siblings. Genetically speaking, my family are not meant to pursue academic gains as because we are meant to be a functioning member of society as soon as possible. Any family member of mine that has academic achievement prone to have mental disorder, such is the case with me and my little brother. As for my whereabouts, I am far away from my family in pursuit for college and slowly getting eaten by my ever destabilizing mental fortitude. English is my third language, and is tool for me to escape my everyday mental struggle
As someone with BPD what a rollercoaster of madness it was
At the beginning my psychiatrist thought that it might be clinical depression
A friend of mine told me that he thinks that I have BPD I laughed at him and brushed it off
After few years and even more problems and a break up it’s was all about to be aligned into a perfect storm.
I’ve tried the unthinkable
I been taken to the hospital where they hold me for few months and they discharge me
A year gone by and another storm has approached for the same reason but I called for help before I will decided to do something stupid and I was again hospitalised
And finally around that time they started to think I have BPD and they started to give me medication and weekly therapy and consultants and I finally broke free from the hospitalisation cycle, and that madness
7 years have gone by since my last hospitalisation and my diagnostic
There was ups and downs but there were always under control.
Now I have a beautiful girlfriend, I’m have a job and thank to that kid and my doctors I finally can call myself a happy man.
Thank you a lot for sharing your story! You did it! It makes me smile. Keep going :)
My dad has BPD and this Alex feels so relatable as a family member of a person with BPD
My mother has BPD. I haven't spoken to her in 3 years. The emotional abuse was one thing but the outbursts were violent, persistent, confusing and terrifying. It is such a dangerous disorder. I find it extremely difficult to sympathise when someone is so destructive. I get lots of 'but she is your mother' comments which boil my blood. This is totally disregarditive of my health and wellbeing. I will not be unwell for the sake of someone else's wellness.
I have borderline I agree your mother was a cunt. Not every person with BPD would do that to their children I hope you know. I have a niece and I'd hate to split on her and start hating her ugh some borderline are true cunts I have experience with them as well. No empathy clearly all about how THEY feel fuck them.
What people seem to forget, especially after dealing with someone who's basically evil is that everyone with BPD is like the monster cases which exist and while I have borderline I hate a lot of others with the disorder.
Notice all the borderlines like please understand us and never point out the abusive borderlines? It pisses me off.
We can understand your misery yes but when you tear others apart and you can barley tell the difference between a narcissist and your borderline fuck off.
That's been my experience with borderlines. Not being able to tell the difference between a narcissist with no empathy and their borderline
While its hard to live with bpd i feel like being a person close to a borderline is more hurtful, especially if you're their fp. I always feel terrible for how I treat my loved ones when i'm at my worst. It must be draining for them even if they reassure me otherwise. I go to therapy and actively seek help and try to manage the symptoms better. I wish I werent this way. I hate hurting those whom I love the most...

id argue that you get the worst treatment NOT being the favorite person. You’re worse than the scum of the earth, no matter what you do.
I have family members who have BPD. My heart goes out to them. I do know that DBT has helped them to an extent. They do refuse medications due to conspiracy theories and it makes it hard to help. I have noticed though that me using active listening without judgment - as I do within my coaching practice- does help. Mirroring with soft tones works best when I deal with them. Of course it is not a perfect science and sometimes strategies must be changed. One thing that I have noticed though as briefly mentioned in the video is the correlation between attachment, mother hunger, and inner child. Wondering if tackling attachment, then mother hunger to lastly help them face inner child is a strategy to use. Not sure, and I know I am oversimplifying it. For everyone struggling with it, I am praying for you to find your inner peace in the way you see best, and best suits you. You are worthy of it, and more. ❤❤❤
I can finally put a name to what I’ve been through most of my life. As a child I was agressive, restless, I’d pretty much switch from extremely cheerful to depressed, and in between. I have always lived in the world where there is only good and only evil, and there are only enemies and heroes, and nothing else.
I remember I’d often experience feelings of extreme dissociation, to the point where I’d feel as if out of my own body. This is on top of the fact I was and still am deepl afraid of abandonment. I would often break up first just to avoid being abandoned by new friends or in relationships.
As an adult, going through psychoterapy, and with the help of my own faith I have worked through it and today, I can proudly say I have nearly succeeded regulating my emotions. I have had a first stable relationship, I am learning to cope with the fact my parents will leave this world one day, and I haven’t felt dissociation for years.
I still sometimes suffer, but I’m so much better than before. My heart goes to all of you who suffer, but believe me, there is always hope.
What hard about the diagnosis is that it forces you to be honest about things that happened to you as a kid.
I had a relationship with a girl suffering from this. They were some of the worst years of my life. She completely destroyed my self-esteem and self-confidence. And I stopped thinking about my problems, feeling guilty if doing so, because I got to believe she was much worse than I, and that it was ridiculous to think about my own problems (I suffer from bipolar disorder and ADHD). She was suffering a lot, of course, but the degree of emotional blackmail, manipulation, humiliation, anger and verbal violence was extreme. If someone had told me "hey, this is not normal" I would have realised, but she isolated me, so there were no witnesses, and she was able to convince me she was almost always right. Because she got SO angry that I thought that I must have done something terrible without realising.
And, about a decade later, I spent 6 years with a narcissist, which has been even worse. There were no bad intentions or attempts to make me suffer just for pleasure with my friend with BPD. But this other one, the narcissist... I have never met anyone so extremely harmful and toxic. I am suffering from PTSD from this. And I haven't seen my son for 2 years and a half. She neglected and abused him, and I was with him all the time. She was jealous of him, so she separated us (and she separated the child from my parents too), and I was threatened by her, her mother and her brother.
Being abused when you're a child does not make you more prone to do the same to others. Some of us just become very fragile, insecure and empathetic.
They say: "hurt people hurt people" which is true in a sense: she would not have hurt you if she wasn't hurt herself.
But no matter how you look at it: hurting people is bad. That's no rocket science but the basic truth of human morality. And you can not negotiate about that.
You cannot be a true human when you discard your human morality like a person with BPD wants you to do. You cannot be a true human when some narcissist destroys your morality to abuse you.
And you know this: hurt people can not heal themselves by abusing others.
YOU do not heal them when you let them abuse you.
I know what narcissists, psychopaths, borderliners and other hurt people "want" but they'll NEVER know what I want or need.
They are not able to understand why I don't want them to hurt me: it's beyond their mental capacities.
@@worfoz Trying to "understand" things from a moralistic perspective is tempting, but it's very simplistic. Saying "they are evil" is easier than analysing and understanding why that person behaves like that. But I doubt it gets you any closer to interpreting things appropriately.
@@andressolo This moralistic point of view enables you to look at both perspectives.
That's the whole point of morality.
And morality can interpret acts and attitudes as good or evil.
AFTER analyzing and understanding all the pain a BPD person feels AND inflicts (both are true, real and both matter!), you can use your moral code to evaluate how BPD person behave and then say with confidence:
"Yes, they are evil".
And I think that ordeal is very appropriate, and everyone should realize that.
@@worfoz I don't need to categorise people as "good or bad". As I used to tell my child: people and other animals are not bad, but they can be dangerous.

Every creature has its nature, we all know the tale of the scorpion and the frog:
A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't resist the urge. It's my character."
I have BPD and I dont lash out I get annoyed and angry like anyone else I just feel more hurt than I should.. That pic of him with a rat in his hand and a knife is horrible... People with BPD can be some of the most human people you'll ever meet 🙂 We see everything for what it is but sometimes we fall and lose control but i can speak for myself I'd never hurt anyone or an animal...
Right? I‘m always angry because life was not fair to me and left me with a shit ton of anxiety, depression, trauma and all that shit but I would never ever have an outburst, yell at someone or even hurt them! I know there are people out there with BPD that snap easily but personally I don’t understand that.
I just discovered this channel. Idk where I'd been ALL THESE YEARS OMG THIS CHANNEL is sooooo nice i love it! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
I really want to watch all other videos but I need to first get through my examination.
Glad you enjoy it!
My ex friend once said she have BPD. I never really understood her but as I am growing older I realise how much trouble maybe she have talking with people. Recently I tried befriending her but she just shook me off by accusing me of something I haven't done. I really hope she recovers.
Having a disorder may not be your fault, but if you choose to do nothing about it, you are absolutely to blame for having it. Either way, actions have consequences, so saying people should be "patient" for abusive behaviour is plain wrong. Don't be abusive to other people, and if you can't do that, then admit yourself to a hospital with supervision.
I really haven’t seen enough comments like this one. It’s ALL “what YOU can do to help ME: don’t ghost, or be short with me” but like, I will be labeled as short, no matter WHAT I DO. I do not see enough comments saying what THEY do to be better. I’m just seeing many directed at what is expected of other people. Like, I have CRIPPLING OCD, and like, I can rationalize not everyone is going to be able to handle that. But yeah, I just don’t see that here.
I had a relationship with someone with self diagnosed bpd. I loved them but they always made excuses when I pleaded that they try to get professional help, or help of some kind. They tried controlling my friendships with other people, over jealousy, and they did. Later Broke up with me. Then contacted me trying to reconnect as friends, then ghosted me. Now I’m mentally unwell.
Definitely taking time to understand that it’s a brain issue and not a personality issue helps. I learned from a friend who has BPD that the name is misleading and I see why
If you leg gets damaged, do you scold it for being bad and worthless? Do you ignore the malfunctioning leg? If your kidney stops working properly? Would you believe anyone who said you were a bad person for having a broken leg or failing kidney?
Why is the brain any different?
For many many years, I grew up wondering exactly what undiagnosed mental disorder my mom has. Alot of my core memories as a child were of her yelling at people and being extremely overbearing. I was constantly embarrassed and wanting to hide and this made me a very quiet child. I know for a fact that she has anxiety, but I'm starting to think it is BPD also and perhaps depression. She also goes on spending sprees where she will spend a ton of money on things she thinks is important. She is unable to keep friendships for long periods of time. When you first meet her, she seems friendly and like a nice person, but then she will start doing some of the odd things she does. While I have mentioned alot of the bad things, inside, I know these are not her intentions. I know she does not mean to yell at people and be overbearing but she refused/refuses to get help. The mental abuse I suffered as a child cannot be erased and I have been going to therapy to talk these things out. At 40 years old now, I have not talked to her in 4 years, as her presence gives me major anxiety and I just could not deal with the emotional turmoil it brings me.
Men with bpd are often slacked off and misdiagnosed
Thats the one thing this video brushes over
I am 17 and diagnosed with BPD. I constantly distance myself from the people I love because when I don’t, I treat them like shit and feel horrible about it. I’ve learned that this is the best way to stop hurting others. But at the same time I hate being so alone and feeling so empty that I end up self-destructing just to feel something. I’ve been to the hospital over attempts multiple times and it just feels like a never-ending, vicious cycle. It really is such a painful disorder.
it will be better after 30... i had all that, but haven't had this info back then
@@niksatando you have a reason why?
@@MohamedMoghny brain develops more, wizdom thet comes with hard work and meeting new people
@@niksatanmy older sister says that she went through the same phase in my age but she also said that it will be better after 30. I’m not sure though, I feel like I’m old enough to know that I am not normal for people in my age that take decisions and get married and think their lives clearly, I’m missing so much. I feel like getting older is only going to shut down feelings for just longer times so you can cope.
Although I really hope it does.
@@MohamedMoghny well, do you work hard or are you being lazy. You could just be lazy and playing videogames and watching movies or work on career
My oldest daughter has BPD. She was born with it. She operates in a very narrow band of tolerance. She can't keep a job or many personal relationships. She lives independently, but she refuses to get help. I pray for her.
She does interact with me, and I do not abandon her. I do point out healthy choices and living options to her. She hears them and she loves me. She has good moments and had moments (like most people have good and bad days, but compressed into minutes).
She is very intense. It is often very tiring to be with her. But I am her mother and will always be there for her. I may be the only one who can be, however.
I do set boundaries, and do not accept inappropriate behavior. She accepts this, and does apologize when she makes bad choices. She has a good heart, but it is surrounded by a Cat. 5 hurricane.
My sister has this mental disorder. Everything she does makes sense to me now. Although she did hurt me a lot when I was younger, I'm glad she's getting therapy. She's been doing a lot better now, and her outbursts are significantly lesser
I had a relationship with someone with self diagnosed bpd. I loved them but they always made excuses when I pleaded that they try to get professional help, or help of some kind. They tried controlling my friendships with other people, over jealousy, and they did. Later Broke up with me. Then contacted me trying to reconnect as friends, then ghosted me. Now I’m mentally unwell.
Wow. Some of this sounds like a friend who just unfriended me. I always forgive him when his temper blows up over seemingly small things. I know he was abused as a kid, had some truly horrifying trauma as an adult, and possible brain injury. He has told me he has always had trouble making friends. He definitely has abandonment issues.
I have some self esteem issues and am definitely a person who wants to get along and make others happy, so I just went along with this and talked through things with him, and forgave him.
I feel both better and worse thinking this may be what is going on with him. Better (only a little), because I couldn't have prevented this, and worse (more) because he has to live with this.
@@InjectBleach Sorry, I wasn't trying to do that. But I did get a lot of verbal abuse from him. I tried to be there for him and he decided to cut me off because I couldn't take the rudeness.
@@InjectBleach yo can youshut up
It should be pointed out, not all sufferers have all traits and don't exhibit them to the same degree
This video simplifies the condition a lot
It did say that BPD is a spectrum. 🤷🏻♂️
@@JJ-hp6mb yet all elements presented are listed as if they were always present in every case.
Excellent video well put together ❤️
4 me BPD is like psychosis light, you're not quite psychotic but are always afraid of crossing the line .
The text bombardment is still one of my biggest struggles. I just keep apologizing. Saying if they hate me I understsnd, but I truly am sorry.
Abuse is horrible. Sadly I also suffer from bad genetics, and have severe type 2 Bipolar(depressive side), ADHD, CPTSD from family abuse, and agoraphobia(fear of leaving your home or "safe space") because I was physically ripped out of my house as a child countless times. I have to take 2 antipsychotics, 4 pills total. As a teen/young qdult I attempted DOBLE DIGIT times. I'm grateful NOW that I kept failing. I go to therapy 2 times a week. I'm 28 and all of this still has me debilitated to the point ehere I literally cannot functionnin society... I feel do isolsted, alienated, and ASHAMED. ASHAMED these issues and the trauma have stunted me to an extent..I just wanna be normal. I just want to do normal things. Have normal levels of emotions..
Life is hard. Be kind to people. You never know what they might be enduring.
omg im like the same as u
It sucks so bad. Hopefully, one day, I won't be a coward.

"Sadness turns into depression"
⬛
My life is bizarre, to say the least. Im trying various techniques to stabilize myself of identity. My bpd has been pretty severe in some aspects such as dissasociation and intense loneliness and paranoia. Through this all I'm pushing to achieve a part time work as this has been completely debilitating in my day to day life. People may not see it in how I look, but internally Im a mess still.
Get real!Bad parenting causes it!It is a childhood trauma disorder
Absolutely 100%!
not true mine is all genetic and i have obviously not perfect but great parents
Education helps.
If I didn't know all these mental challenges exist, I'd far more often just perceive people as rude or dumb or anti social.
The world is more complicated than that
Just figured I’d risk it and mention, hey, yes it’s manageable and from my experience treatable.
I have BPD, and I had a rough experience at times. I didn’t make it easy on people. Funnily enough ouch though, I think what makes a huge difference here is if you can manage to find a support system, both medically and emotionally.
Being lucky/privileged enough to have both, does mean my worst days are in the past. I’ve grown a thicker emotional skin and learned to be independent, as opposed to latching onto people completely. My friends are keen to remind me that I “can” rely on them, but learning to function if they aren’t available means I had to learn to deal with my shit in a much better way. DBT therapy and follow up regular therapy and medication is key to reinforcing that.
It takes discipline, and while I definitely struggle in other ways, I’ve learned mostly to at least manage the BPD to the point people are surprised to hear I have it when I tell them.
I do purposefully still engage in learning more about my condition and the science behind it. I don’t think sugarcoating the fact we can be very difficult to deal with is helpful at all, but nor is overly stigmatizing it. This video did pretty okay on that front.
I had one final advantage few BPD people had; my friends and family stuck with me. My case must have been milder, and luckily my impulsiveness is directed in a different direction then many given my utter disinterest in sex or drugs, and is mostly reckless spending. Even that is kept in check, and I don’t gamble. There wasn’t much room to be impulsive to a truly destructive degree with all that in mind, and my friends and family were able to help me past the other stuff as a consequence. The fact that for most of my life I was physically very frail helped too; I didn’t pick fights, and while I could easily socially engineer people to fight for me(it happened a few times, not intentionally)…
BPD can manifest some other traits. That emotional thin skin also means if you have the right environment, you potentially can learn a large degree of empathy. I didn’t like to start fights, be involved in conflict, and turned any innate BPD charisma towards diplomacy and tact most of the time.
A friend reminded me of something that makes this condition easier to bear. If I make friends easily, especially strong friends, and tend to not lose them….then either my BPD is well managed(which given I made those friends before I was diagnosed is unlikely), or I’m simply not that awful to be around, and simply expect people to be kinder and nicer then they often are, and take the disappointment worse. But I pick people to be friends with that aren’t by nature assholes, and often are very stable themselves. They in turn are a stabilizing influence. I can’t be tempted into bad behaviour if none of my friends encourage it. I can’t say I had a “fatherless” upbringing, even if my father was occasionally very abusive(and sometimes the best person in the world…BPD is likely genetic here) but have a mother who is very supportive and caring, and a sister who while needs her space, is caring as well and is clear when she can’t put up with my energy, without being dismissive.
The stigma exists for a reason, the reasons many people don’t trust people with BPD are very valid. Science is naturally skeptical of us. But we don’t have to innately be monsters. We can be better, if we have a good support system and the ability to recognize the value of psychology and pursue treatments.
Many of us can be simply monstrous. Many of us however are simply coping and managing the genetic hand we’ve been dealt and fight with all our energy to never be a problem.
Treatment is key, but you can be happy.
My dad and my younger brother have it. Now that they’re adults they’ve calmed down a lot. But back in the day when we were kids it was episode after episode almost every day. It really made me think it was a normal thing until years later when I met people who weren’t blowing up on me for anything
So I DEFINITELY do see things in grey. I use black and white as a base line. But the problem i have is blacking out during fits of rage and inner voices that i challenge in a constant battle.
You can't help me.. best thing you can do Is help yourself And leave me be😞
If you or somebody you knows has bpd and going through splitting, they for sure need reassurance and don't take to heart anything they say in that moment. Reassure them that you are there for them and that you only wish good for them. They might push you or test you when you say that to see if you are saying the truth, but don't stop and reassure them until they gets back to normal. As a person suffering with BPD this is what I would expect from my loved ones when I am having an episode.
This... Just this...
I am shaking, ik tears...
My ex had all these symptoms and was a rollercoaster to be with. He would recover really well when attending councilling but would come apart again when he decided to quit it again
Well therapy works well if you practice what the therapist offers as homework exercises . But most of all it's the willingness to unlearn as change is hard as it means leaving what you view as familiar to a scary uncharted territory.
take a big breath and focus on you ❤
I have to disagree with some of the extreme comments about bpd. I was always what people would think of as a pretty normal person until I had a breakdown because of some trauma that happened in my late 30's. The thing is that my doctor thought that it was pretty much dormant until then.I had been severely abused as a child and just blocked it until the trigger. My whole personality has changed except with my grown children and grandchildren. I learned in therapy to stop and think about what is triggering me and take a little break if needed. I worked very hard for many years and my psychiatrist specialized in bpu. Where I have trouble is my family of origin. I am my caretaker and she and my brothers just think that I'm crazy. I think my life would be better if I lived alone again so I can choose when the time is good to deal with difficult people in my life. I know that everyone is different and it has taken me years but I haven't run any of my friends off for a long time.
I have BPD and besides others praying helps me a lot you guys
I'm sharing this video with friends. I think it will help them understand, without overwhelming them with too much complicated information all at once. I think it will really help open a dialogue with them. I feel it's crucial for friends and family to have a better understanding of this bizarre affliction, if you hope to keep them in your life. I personally find it difficult to properly convey what it's like to have lived like this for most of my life. Thank you.
Thank you! Let's all keep learning
I've got diagnosed with BPD since 8 years now and no psychiatrist gave me a treatment, i just go from hospital to hospital, i'm invade and parasitized by all my emotions and impulsivity, i've got a boyfriend who lives far away, but no friends or family around me. I feel lonely every second of my life, it's been my worst outbreak since a long time. I ask for support from my boyfriend but he keep saying that he understand but it makes me angry and keep shouting at me, i don't know what to do anymore... So many s*** attempts and no one is here for me, even the doctors are tired of me... that is too difficult to live with that and having nobody really understanding what i suffer for...
Thank you for your video, extremely well done explaining everything, plus a really good illustrations. Thank you for understranding this disorder.
PS : Sorry for my english, i'm french

Have you tried Dialect Behavioural Therapy? It has proven to be extremely helpful. Mundfulness is also good for you.
I hear you. For my own experience I can share with you that Mindfulness and Accaptance based Therapies are very powerful to find a way from within. If you read your own words, your expectations are all outside: the doctors, the boyfriend... but the best support comes from within. All those thoughts and emotions that come bursting, that feel intrusive, that scare the shit out of you when you feel they're coming... you can learn to just let them be, observe them and let them go. You won't stop feeling these things, but changing your relationship with these experiences will improve your quality of life and your relationships. There are therapists that focus their practice on Mindfulness and Acceptance therapies. I hope you find your strength within!
I recommend trying meditation, writing a journal of your emotions, trying to establish a routine, it took a long time of trying meds to get better, but i am better now and that is possible no matter how empty and devoid of emotions you can be there is always a road to take step by step
Remember you are not alone and it is possible to get better no matter how hopeless it may seem, it's ok to feel negative emotions and it's fine if things don't seem to improve, doing something is what matters in the long road
I hope you have a fantastic holidays and remember to take time to self care
Do a 5 day fast (phone, computer, social media, food, from everything but water), repent from your PAST behavior, and pray. IT WORKS, you learn (get) self-discipline. You need God, you can find Him by following Jesus. Don't listen to secular music, entertainment, or people, they are the one's driving you away from a blessed life.
I'm currently in a 1 year relationship with a girl diagnosed with BPD and.. it's been one hell of a ride.
You can't really explain how difficult it is without experiencing it yourself.
If anyone has any questions about my experience, or would want to share yours feel free.
I paste what I commented a few minutes ago:
"I had a relationship with a girl suffering from this. They were some of the worst years of my life. She completely destroyed my self-esteem and self-confidence. And I stopped thinking about my problems, feeling guilty if doing so, because I got to believe she was much worse than I, and that it was ridiculous to think about my own problems (I suffer from bipolar disorder and ADHD). She was suffering a lot, of course, but the degree of emotional blackmail, manipulation, humiliation, anger and verbal violence was extreme. If someone had told me "hey, this is not normal" I would have realised, but she isolated me, so there were no witnesses, and she was able to convince me she was almost always right. Because she got SO angry that I thought that I must have done something terrible without realising.
And, about a decade later, I spent 6 years with a narcissist, which has been even worse. There were no bad intentions or attempts to make me suffer just for pleasure with my friend with BPD. But this other one, the narcissist... I have never met anyone so extremely harmful and toxic. I am suffering from PTSD from this. And I haven't seen my son for 2 years and a half. She neglected and abused him, and I was with him all the time. She was jealous of him, so she separated us (and she separated the child from my parents too), and I was threatened by her, her mother and her brother.
Being abused when you're a child does not make you more prone to do the same to others. Some of us just become very fragile, insecure and empathetic."
Is it that bad? Does it like make someone with bad unlovable?
@@afshanmirza8446 Every single moment with them is like walking on eggshells. You have to learn how to see the world from their eyes, to join "their world" and only after that you could have a sort of stable relationship with them.
The times where it was good, it was perfect. She felt like my soulmate, my everything, it felt like I was on top of the world.
But the times it was bad, it was rock bottom. Abusive, toxic, punished for doing wrong.
For example, the most recent incident I had, I accidentally took the wrong bus when we were supposed to meet, so I was 15 minutes late and made her wait.
This got her FUMING, she got so angry she started crying at one point. Cold sholder, ignoring me, passive aggresive, sat on a bench instead of going to our date, then took the bus home, I followed her, she suddenly gets off, tells me to stop following her, I watch her as she takes another bus, breaks up with me on the phone, etc.
All this because I made a mistake of being 15 minutes late.
Are they unlovable?
If you understand them, if you know how to handle their episodes and tantrums well, if you support them despite them hurting you sometimes. *No* , but it's pretty difficult.
Learn their triggers, don't lash out back at them, be as understanding as possible. Understand that their anger and bad moments are a wave you both need to ride together.
They will give you so much love and attention that you wouldn't wish for anyone else.
Would I recommend being with someone with BPD?
Absolutely not, especially if you have no experience or emotional maturity.
Do I regret being with someone with BPD?
Absolutely not, this woman gave me some of the best moments in my life.
This relationship with her was my first ever serious relationship, and me being completely emotionally unaware, I was thrown right into an ocean when I was learning how to swim.
Figuring things out as I go caused both of us a lot of pain, but it made it one fun ride for me.
Just make sure to read a bit about the disorder, notice when their episodes "click", and do your best to not lash out at them and help them emotionally.
That's pretty much it.
@@afshanmirza8446 You can't get to imagine how bad it is. But it does not make someone unlovable. That girl was one of the people I ever loved most. The narcissist is harder to love, once you realise who you are dealing with.
Ok so I dated my coworker who has BPD for months and it was mostly amazing, I forgave a lot but ultimately broke up with her, we remained friends, then we actually started making a FWB situation work, the whole time obviously struggling with too much attachment and then not enough, sudden anger, the whole nine yards, one day she said I’m not ok this is making me unstable, I was like ok maybe we should do distance for a while, that’s worked before with us, to stabilize things by just being distant so no triggers happen, I thought all was going well, we’re at work one day and she’s talking to the manager about this guy at the gym that thinks she’s cute and she’s all excited and I call her over and say hey, I just wanted to let you know that that hurts, I still love you, we’re FWB, I’m not like over you, we’re just doing distance, and I get it if you like need the distraction but I would never just talk about it in front of you like you just did to me, that really hurts, and she goes “I had this theory that you asked for distance because you were secretly done with me.” And I was like uh no, wtf, are you acting as if that’s true? Just because you thought it? You never asked. I’m not done with you, and it hurts to hear you talking about other guys like that. (We always have had this candid and open of communication and told each other things that hurt all the time.) and she literally turned around and walked away and never spoke to me in real life again. Only texted about work. It’s been 2 months. She has started to leave our other coworker (a guy she literally told me one time that she likes as more than a friend) notes almost every day with hearts like “have a great shift
It always goes back to how we were abused as children.
❤Thank you very much for your concise and clear video
Glad you like it!
Schema Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy can also do wonders for BPD.
The ending was written by somebody who has no idea about BPD
100%
Had a friend with bpd (or was said to most likely after I described her to therapist) that manifested in early adulthood. Totally obliterated the relationship. She went from being kind and chilled-out to the most defensive, entitled, victimized, unaccountable user I've known.
Stuck with her because "compassion" and "the right thing," etc.
Nope, protect yourself.
Same thing here friend. they destroyed a possible friendship of mine because of their jealousy, broke up with me, reconnected with me, then ghosted me! Now I’m unwell mentally and I feel like a clown 🤡
Myself, No anger...just feeling down, purposeless and empty then sometimes happy or just normal
I suspect my mother has BPD. She ticks all the boxes except for self harm.
it’s best not to arm chair diagnose stuff especially personality disorders :)
@@Eli-me2vs He said he "suspects." The video might have touched him to the point he felt like being verbal.
Ending a passive-aggressive statement with a smiley face doesn't make it less so. :)
ivy didn't diagnose anything, just made a statement of suspicion about her mother possibly having this disorder.
It's good to learn about disorders and understand possible explanations for the behavior of loved ones. As long as you're not trying to actually diagnose someone, there's nothing wrong with having some informed suspicions or questions to ask a professional.
@@Eli-me2vs this is why I said I suspect. But I am also doing a Bachelor's in Psychotherapy.
18 year old male from Australia,
Been diagnosed with bpd and it explains alot of why I was always so emotionally sensitive and unstable.
Turned 18 last October.
I can’t hold down a job due to extreme social anxiety, I have no friends and I’ve tried to end my life twice.
It’s something I think about daily.
Bpd makes me feel like a passenger in my own body at any moment my emotions will take full control going from the best feeling ever to my worlds ending,
I truly just want to be normal.
I’ve missed out on so much and feel like I’m just a waste.
Bpd is like being trapped in your own head going from high moments to the lowest moments in an instant.
I don't have bpd, i got another disorder but the feeling of being a passenger in my own body is something i relate to. I have given up on any normalcy, as the moment i am doing good can turn prettty quickly into doing bad. It has taken off the pressure to be ,,ok,, though and as a result I am actually doing more ok. I am grateful now for the good times, which have increased, and any time shit hits the fan I know there will be a way out again. As I get a little older I hope that simply time will learn me to reckonise patterns, that what I stew about is nearly always exaggerated and i will be ok, but that penny hasn't dropped yet. My system really needs to feel that for itself and i just await the moment it does. If it sounds like I don't take full accountability for what happens and I just let shit happen to me it's because well, yes. The passenger thing again. I can ,,know,, whatever but i don't have the biology to translate it. But passengers can enjoy the ride :) while the driver has to watch out all the time. The body has a weird way to always watch out for itself, is what I learned in biology too, the respons however is sometimes misguided unfortunately.
I don't mean to say this to derail your post but I wanted to maybe say you are not alone in this feeling and maybe some of my copium might give some tips what has helped me. I hope you're doing well today and take care :) mental illness is a tough wrestling match sometimes
You're just out of balance, and it sounds like you're an empath. Daily meditation and prayer helps, try for three months or so
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching! :)
hey all, 28 year old male. for days on end i had this vid recommended to me and decided to have a click today and seeing some of the comments of people claiming this whole thing "doesn't exist" and how those of us with it are all "shitty people" in denial is incredibly disappointing mate, it really is
borderline personality disorder first developed within me when i was 18/19 years old back in 2014 and it almost ruined my life at first, because i had no idea how to control it at the time. it was this fresh scary thing within me and i knew something was wrong, but what was it? was i imagining the whole thing or was my erratic behaviour that came out of nowhere have a reasoning behind it?
when i was diagnosed with it years later in 2018 it was such a relief. not because i had an excuse/free pass to act like a shitty person but because these extreme feelings that came out one day seemingly out of nowhere wasn't something imagined, it was something very real and it explained so much
i never had dbt/cbt treatment made available to me but i eventually did learn to majorly suppress most of the emotional/neurotic side of it. i admit once in a blue moon i have my bad days when the psychotic symptoms come out to play but compared to the person i was all those years ago its night and day difference in all honesty. and i'm getting better and improving as a person everyday
just thought i'd leave a comment cause there's major stigma around bpd. those of us stuck with it aren't monsters, we screw up sometimes but i promise you we're all trying. for anyone else here who's unfortunately got it, i promise you it can get better and you can manage to live with it. it's a motherfucker to control, but it can be done. don't give up hope frens ♥
I have bpd and spirituality is helping me through ❤
Whatever works for you, can fill that emptiness.
Wish I could find something that doesn't feel fake or dishonest
Vipassana meditation.... Just once go through it
I got the BPD. It's an actual nightmare.
I liken it to being a dead person trapped in a living body.
@@InjectBleachget over her already
@@boxonothing4087Yeah, i agree with you, worst part of BPD for me is anhedonia, i am like a zombie
