    The ending is key: Even if she meets the checklist, there is so much more that would be required for a diagnosis of a real person. ❤ What other characters from shows or movies would you like me to exam to further understand their behavior? Comment below! ⬇

      I would love to see your takes on Jayce and Mel individually (with emphasis on the relationship with her mother and contrasting it with her relationship with Jayce), and also on their relationship because I think it's one of the most easily misinterpreted and misrepresented relationships in the show, and a lot of people demonise their connection way beyond legitimate concerns/criticism. I also think they're very misunderstood characters and since I relate to both of them on some levels (Jayce's people-pleasing and impulsivity, Mel's relationship with her mother and having to unlearn certain behaviours that she was taught by Ambessa etc.), it's been a bit disheartening for me to see.

      I would absolutely love to see your reaction to the show Doom Patrol on HBOMax, however, fair warning, it is definitely not for kids, but it deals with a lot of different mental health situations. It is a DC show, so there are superpowers involved, but it also doesn't focus on their powers, it focuses on them as people and the things they go through. Loved the breakdown and your reactions to Arcane 🙂

    As someone with BPD, even in the first act I could see her BPD symptoms already emerging. Jinx as a character overall made me feel so heard for the first time in my life, and thinking about it now is making me tear up a bit, ahahaha. The writing in this show is incredible.

    Going through the checklist, when you got to "suicidal thoughts or tendencies", I think one of the best examples was the fight on the bridge with Ekko. Jinx's expression just before she released the grenade that nearly killed both of them, in my opinion, is one of the most powerful in the entire series. That was clearly not simply a reckless action, but an intentionally self-harming one.
    Definitely plenty of other examples, but that one stuck out to me most.

    • @brittvaughn9447
      @brittvaughn9447 Před rokem +35

      Yeah, I think people tend to ascribe a lot of evil intent there of just "getting" Ekko and not realize that it was a sincere suicide attempt. If Ekko hadn't knocked away the grenade (you can hear the "tink!" of him hitting it just before it goes off), she would have succeeded.

    One thing that really stood out to me as reminding me of BPD symptoms was that scene where she saw Caitlin and it immediately flashed to her having this sinister smile and devil horns over her. It reminded me of when people with BPD do this thing called "splitting" where they see people or things as all bad or all good. It seemed almost like she was doing that with Caitlin where she only saw bad within her.

    When Jinx is stapling her leg together, one can view it out of two ways: one, she is seriously hurt, and in that moment survival trumped everything to keep blood in so that she wouldn't bleed to death; it was the closest thing to get herself patched up, or two, she is still reeling from meeting her sister, and needs an outlet for her unsable mood, i.e. theough self-harm.

    I have BPD, and had not yet been diagnosed at the time. Watching the show actually sent me into a psychotic break at the tea party scene. I had not even realized how bad the show was triggering me until than. No media has ever done that before. It was terrifying. Her emotions and inner turmoil she experienced mirrored mine so much. But now I know why I guess.

      Y'all make me feel so validated. Watching Jinx was entirely too relatable to me and every time she expressed that intense fear of abandonment, I'd have to pause and bawl my eyes out. But I'd never felt so seen by any piece of media so I pushed through the series.

  • @karinakamichi4557
    @karinakamichi4557 Před rokem +78

    Unstable relationships were also apparent with Silco. Their relationship was one of the oddest and it wasn't that healthy but in its own way it was genuine. When you mentioned fear of abandonment i thought about how she was upset because she thought he thought she was weak. Especially when she thought he was going to give her over to Jayce.
    All throughout the show, Silco kept feeding into Jinx's belief that Vi would leave her again, even basically saying that he was the only one she could trust.
    I'm personally thinking this fear of abandonment could tie back to how both her parents died in the war and Vi was the only family she had left. If you noticed when Vi, Claggor and Mylo went off to get Vander she was super upset because Vi left her behind to do it alone. Even back then, she wanted more than anything to be of use to her sister. Throwing in the bomb was a means of proving her use and not being abandoned in a sense.

    The more I rewatched Arcane, the more I realized just how much I related to Jinx, I had always had very bad episodes mostly over perceived problems that my brain would make up, Insecurities and the feeling of being unwanted by my boyfriend which weren’t true.
    I didn’t even know anything about BPD until one day I looked up what Jinx and her diagnoses was on a post on Reddit and someone explained “Borderline personality disorder”
    The more research I did on it, the more I started to understand myself, as if I finally wasn’t crazy like I had told myself for the longest time for not acting like everyone else.
    Literally EVERY scene with Jinx, especially when she’s talking about Vi , was like looking into a mirror.
    Not to say I’m self diagnosing, however I very *strongly* suspect I have it.

    I too relate to Jinx with the loneliness and slight abandonment issues and unstable emotions during specific times since I was 4. But did have tv to help develop my identity and personality. Just never regained a personal important emotion and I know is what I need - euphoria. Just suddenly lost the emotion when needing to go home and my mom made it seem like she left but was a trick. And I can be really sincere, so being lied at a sensitive developmental moment like that, broke my sense of being. And it’s been such an annoying hate/truce mother daughter relationship, seeing that she’s so good at stepping on my emotions when I would like to breathe when just or trying to regain all of my authentic self. I’d just love to express all of my emotions like I used to and be free.

      In BPD (and in people who have trauma in general) it's more about being paranoid and anticipating the bad before it happens. I'm constantly "reading" people and I subconsciously pay attention to any and all signs of frustration to be able to deescalate in time because I grew up knowing someone else's anger = danger. If I'm not mistaken autistic people have trouble interpreting facial expressions in general, not just hyperfocusing on/expecting the negative ones?

Every time in the past I have revealed I have it to new doctors or friends or potential boyfriend… if they know anything about it, they cast me as trouble and a red flag. After I got diagnosed I felt so ashamed and alone… When I first watched this show I related so strongly to Jinx and I didn’t understand why… but she kind of helped me relate and relive my trauma in a healthy way and seeing it from an outsiders perspective. She will always be one of my all time favorite characters and especially the song at the end “The Monster you Created”… just listen to those lyrics. I think back to the people that caused the trauma to first happen to me and turned me into this “monster” and I cry every time I listen to it.

    I'm so glad that I have visited Your chanel, i just binged Your Arcane reations. Your reaction videos of Arcane were so different from usual ones because Your analisis added so much to it.
    When it comes to Jinx there is an ingame interaction of Caitlyn with Jinx which says "Is there a point of this madness Jinx or is it a chanel for your pain?" and here is the thing it is actually the truth, Jinx is her chanel for Powder's pain. She still wants to stay Powder and go back to Vi but every time she is close to achieveing that her trauma overcomes the will of reuniting with her sister. All her worst nightmares and traumas are connected with Powder not with Jinx. While she identifies herself with Jinx she feels better going back even with short memories to being Powder is just to pianful for her. But we have to remember that both Powder and Jinx are the same person she can switch between her personalities in a way allowing to at least for a short time forget about pain but no matter what it is still in her, she just grew up and changed her name to Jinx.
    Someone wrote in a comment under one of countless Arcane reactions that "last thing Powder did was killing Silco and first thing Jinx did was to avange him" I can partially agree with that killing Silco was a moment of her return to being Powder to protect Vi from being shot by Silco not thinking about possible outcome. Realization that she killed another person she loved so much while identifying with Powder was this decisive moment when she decided to stay in her chanel for pain forever. It just hurt her to much., she lost to much.
    The saddest thing is that she heard that she is perfect in Silco's lats words it is what she always wanted to hear from Vi but she never did, no matter how toxic their relationship was it for sure had this element of true unconditional love of Silco for Jinx and she loved him to. Now she lost the one person that loved her current self as confused, hurt and broken she is. Vi still loves her but she loves mostly her old self, Vi is terrified by Jinx, by her brutality and by that she views Caitlyn as a danger while she did not replaced Jinx in Vi's heart, Vi just loves tham both.
    Damm I did it again. I once again started to write a book instead of a comment. If You want to do more materials about Jinx You should take a look on Jinx's dairy from council archives form in game event. It is so eyewatering and gives a look on how Jinx tried to cope with her loss and her transofmation from cute little girl into strong young woman trying to prove herself that she is worth and also about beginings of her relationship with Silco.
    I really would like to see an analysis of Silco he is so complex character
    And yes Jinx cosplay is a great idea. Grettings from Poland.

    Love your reactions and analisis of this show and this character 💕
    But don’t you think she also has suic*dal tendencies? From what I understand, it can include not only activly trying to end it, but it can also include serius disregard for one’s own live.
    So in ep 4 Jinx is upset and playing with her bombs, pulling the trigger, riskly waiting till the last minute, and throwing the bomb away. Someone noticed that shows she knows her inventions very well at this point. But someone else noticed that’s might show gross disregard for her life. And I think it can be interpret both ways.
    But even more so, in ep 7, Jinx is quick to pull the trigger on both herself and Ekko, it seems like she dosn’t care if she lives or not, if she has the chance of taking Ekko with her. She doesn’t even try to get away, and Ekko has easier way of escape, being on top. He probably jumps away and only get’s injured some, when Jinx nearly ends herself. It wasn’t smart move if she wanted to k*ll him and preserve herself. Doesn’t that suggest some degree of suic*dal tendencies?

      It does. Self harm is described not only as the actions you actively take to hurt yourself like cutting or hitting but also the in-actions, if that makes sense. Not eating enough, going outside in light clothes when it's 0 degrees outside and overall not getting yourself out of harm's way even though it would take next to no effort shows disregard to your well-being and sometimes even life, it can very much be a way to punish yourself without actively doing things that would get you hurt.

      I'm not a professional, but from what I've seen, yes. From what I've seen, BPD is by far the most aware of the type b personality disorders that there's something wrong with them. They feel a hole inside, and are obsessed with finding something to fill it. There's a shit ton of other things going on with Jinx, to the point I'd seriously hesitate to give her a convenient label like BPD, but if you've got it you're tormented by the knowledge that you're missing something basic inside.

    I often see too many overlap of symptoms between d.I.d BPD schizophrenia and I don’t know enough about any of those to actually differentiate them but I wonder if that is what you mean at the end when you talk about someone showing all the symptoms of one but possibly having something else instead.

    I'm really loving your videos. I love the subject of the mind and people's behaviors. I've wanted to study psychology but I'm very very bad at reading and remembering things, so I've never tried it haha.
    Anyways, looking forward to learning with your videos. Thanks so much for sharing and caring for people always on your videos! ♥

    I've watched this video several times over and I'm still getting moist eyes watching it, and having to pause it in order to stand up and pace for a while. I think it's regrettable that the Heard case is mentioned in the introduction, because ... let's just say it detracts from the timelessness of the rest of the video ... but other than that, I really appreciate it. The reason for my interest in BPD is not something I can share here, but I would like to send a giant hug to everyone out there struggling with it. Thanks, and all the best.

    Hm, okay, now that you have watched all of Season 1 of Arcane, there’s a couple of options and recommendations that i now can present to you, based on what you might be interested in knowing:
    If you would like to know more about the production of Arcane and what might’ve been going on Behind the Scenes of Arcane’s curation? Then i recommend watching Arcane: Bridging The Rift that’s free to watch on CZcams, with 2 Parts currently out.
    If you would like to know more or at least have a better understanding of the Lore and World of Arcane and by extension League of Legends? Then i recommend watching either the Tales of Runeterra Mini-Series (which gives some insight of sorts for each of the Major Regions of the World of LoL/Arcane) and/or some of Necrit’s (who is basically the Lore & News Guy for League of Legends and it’s related content) content about the subject.
    Or if you would just simply like to know of or at least get some ideas for what to potentially expect from Season 2? Then there’s some Prediction Videos that i can recommend too, if you are indeed interested that is.
    Regardless, it’s all up to you for what to decide, just know this there’s currently a Season 2 Teaser out, if you’re interested?

    I feel like Jinx shows more signs of paranoid schizophrenia. The frequent switches of character from aggressive to manic to terrified feel like more of a separation of personalities within her psyche. She also has some of the characteristics of Dissociative Identity Disorder - the hard split between what she sees as "Powder" and what is "Jinx." They are essentially two entirely different personalities, and she is trying to figure out which one is the real "her."

    • @EclecticallyEccentric
      @EclecticallyEccentric Před 11 měsíci +1

      The hard split between "Powder" and "Jinx" may be more the unstable sense of self/shifting or lack of identity with BPD than DID. Paranoia revolving around interpersonal relationships is definitely a thing with BPD, and psychosis can be part of it as well. Of course, it could very easily be that Jinx has multiple disorders.

  • @teschi23
    @teschi23 Před 2 lety +4

    Super interesting video.
    Just curious, are there other good examples in media which showcase how BPD manifests. I do get the checklist and how it relates to Jinx/Powder, though it still feels a bit abstract for me.

    • @bramblewood585
      @bramblewood585 Před 2 lety +5

      I don't work in psych so take this with a grain of salt, but Crazy Ex-Girlfriend on Netflix is basically an exploration of a character living with BPD. It seems fairly well researched and sensitive on the topic and is written by someone neurodivergent, so I recommend giving it a look. It's also hilarious and has a bunch of catchy songs.

    Just leaving some anime recommendations here...
    - Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood: two brothers look for the Philosopher's Stone to get back what they lost after performing Alchemy's greatest taboo. Action/Mystery/Adventure/Science Fiction. It's very psychological and deals with topics such as genocide, cults, sin...
    -Nana: two women with the same name who are the same age, meet on a train on their way to Tokyo to follow their dreams. Slice of life/ Drama/Romance. Don't be fooled by the synopsis, it's still super dark lol. Deals with themes such as mental illness, prostitution, drug addiction, adultery...
    They're both bittersweet but super funny and cute at the same time. Also, if you do watch them please watch the sub version.

      I'm talking from my own experience, but in me it shows through not really feeling like I have any purpose until someone who I can obsess over comes around. Obviously I know I'm an actual person, I know what I like and dislike, but most of the time I just feel like an empty vessel for someone to come and use however they like. I don't have any actual goals for the future and can't imagine anything I can do on my own being able to satisfy me the way having someone around could, not a career, not having a lot of money, nothing. I basically spend my life waiting for someone to swoop in and save me, but then again I'm unmedicated so I'm not doing the best lmao

    Have a question, is borderline personality disorder the same thing as bipolar disorder? If not, what are the differences between the two?

    • @MxLynx
      @MxLynx Před 2 lety +13

      Hi so I am a psychology and neuroscience student who has Borderline Personality Disorder. Bipolar Disorder (BD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) are two very different disorders. There are many differences but the really short version is, Bipolar disorder consists of periods of mania and depression, usually lasting a few days to weeks. Meaning they experience highs for a period of time and then lows. Borderline personality disorder unlike bipolar, is a personality disorder and affects more then just your mood. People with BPD usually have intense instability in their mood, relationships (between friends, partners and family) and with their own identity. Their mood episodes usually only last a few hours, at most a day. We also do not experience mania like people with Bipolar disorder. While there are a lot more differences, those are the key differences.

    Hah, I remember Jinx became my crush when I struggled with the tumor in my head almost 10 years ago. 10 years forward long forgotten LoL, and I've just got diagnosed with BPD and now this video. Funny enough Jinx MBTI type is ENFP and mine is INFP, I wonder if xNFP has any connection with BPD. Non the less, it's interesting to see how different an introvert pw/BPD to an extrovert pw/BPD.
    Why does it have to be so painful? It makes me wish if I were died on the surgery table.
