I'm glad my mum has come across this UA-cam page, my name is Rhys and I'm 35, I live on a small island north of Scotland called the orkney Islands, I've been mis diagnosed for years and got diagnosed with BPD last year. Where I live there is no therapy or anything to help with BPD so feel very lost with my emotions and with this diagnosis, hope you guys can help me find a way to help or any help! Would love to talk and get to know more people as only know of one guy where I live who had BPD.
Can you find a therapist who can work with you via online sessions? Also, there are BPD workbooks you can buy online. I recommend Dr Daniel Fox's BPD workbook. That book is great, it has helped many people. He also has a youtube channel, talks a lot about BPD. Good luck
I don't like the part where you diminish trauma as a reason for having BPD. In my case, trauma was a big part of it besides invalidation. I got the notion that most of you can not relate it to trauma because your experiences are most likely to have less or no trauma. Also, I don't get why the big Ts exist is as if it's meant to undermine other types of trauma and negative experiences. I am sure that emotional neglect is abuse, verbal abuse, psychological abuse is too, not to mention invalidation even of physical illness which has made it difficult to believe I was sick enough and not find help until it got worse because they will diminish it (I still live with them). And my insecirity played a part of going back and forth in going to Urgency Care or not because is not that bad and my perception must be skewed or wrong. Also, attachment problems can be taken into account. So in my case trauma is a big part of having BPD. 24:4324:4324:4324:43
It’s definitely not about diminishing trauma as a cause for BPD, and we apologize if it came across that way! The point was that, many people believe Big T trauma is a necessary cause for having BPD, and while it IS a part of many people’s history, it is not true for everyone who has BPD. Lots of people who've experienced chronic invalidation have felt as if there is something especially wrong with them for developing BPD, despite not having a "Big T" experience. So the goal of that section was to show that you don't have to have experienced something extreme to be traumatized by it.
Many people who develop BPD have no history of major trauma Many people who develop BPD have no history of child abuse or neglectful parents. That's not diminishing the role of trauma, it's just stating facts and dismantling the myth that the cause for BPD is the same for everyone. Next time we meet someone with BPD, we shouldn't assume it was due to trauma.

I have a question for y’all. My best friend is suffering big time. I think she has BPD. Is it appropriate to tell her that? Thanks for your input
Question 1 more women are diagnosed because more women seek help simples surprised you don’t know that!

Attention seeking Questions so much contradiction being spoken.
