I am glad to see that this video series delves deeper into the topic of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and its relationship with the church community. BPD is a complex and often misunderstood mental health condition, and it is important that people living with it receive the support and understanding they need. The focus on treatment options and ways that the church community can show support is especially valuable, as it highlights the importance of not only raising awareness but also taking practical steps to help those in need.
Fascinating topic! While establishing boundaries is essential to protecting ourselves from persons struggling with BPD, It requires careful and compassionate approach. Seeking professional help is vital.
Okay, now this is a whole new perspective I never looked at BPD from. I know a Christian family who had such case and how they handled it was remarkable. This audio is amazing and now I know just how I can support an individual with BDP.
Appreciate your share. How did that Christian family make a difference in handling BPD?
The Church and Borderline Personality Disorder is a great video to understand personality disorder between the church and borderline. This podcast helps to the clear misunderstanding between them
What parts of the video and podcast connected with you personally? Any experiences or insights you'd like to share about how they help bridge understanding of BPD in the church?
The thing on “Improve” and prayer being a part of that is very interesting to me.
How has prayer influenced your improvement journey? Any personal moments where it made a meaningful impact on your growth, either personally or professionally?
When in relationship with a BPD, you have to accept that no amount of love you give will satisfy. You will and should expect to fail. This is the disorder.
Much like an alcholic is not satisfied with a reasonable amount of drink.
Only God can heal their broken parts.
It is indeed difficult
I met somebody which probably suffered from this disorder, after talking to a professional about it. This person was capable to make an unnecessary and unwanted enmity between me and her, after she chased me for a couple months for getting my attention.
She idealized me after having a friendly approaching for getting to know her until cutting me off from her social cycle for any good apparent reason. She used to have a unpredictable frantic and impulsive behaviour and expressions of affection that she used to give her back to me in case of not responding the way she would expect it. She also got hurt with every kind of innocent comment that I could make.
She belongs to the church's leadership and she is quite sociable and kind with most of people. I would not able to tell anything to them, she is quite protected by her religious position which doesn't allow me to have a good relationship with her and her social cycle around because of this absurd devaluation made by her.
But seriously, I don't blame the person who is one thing in the church, and is another outside. I feel that the society has painted a kind of personality such a person is supposed to possess so when he/she is doing things of the Church, they act it all the way through. And when they come out, they act a certain way which is different. I know this because I was in that boat too even though I never realized that it was a disorder.
True talk. I also did that along with some friends but never knew it was a disorder. For me I was fed up when I couldn't balance the life and felt I was deceiving myself and others. You can imagine putting up a different appearance to be seen as a wonderful person by the church and the people, but deep down, when I'm all alone, I do things that do not even fall in line.
Exactly! Our religiosity can mask many personalities. And that's exactly why I'll not choose to date a Church girl unless I have known just what she is outside the Church premises. I have watched 2 of my friends who went that way and honestly it didn't go down too well.
You never mention prayer.
That’s a given. I assume churches will already have tried prayer.
