  • Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a type of personality disorder that affects about 1-3% of the population. People with BPD struggle with self-image, and their behavior and view of others can change quickly as they battle waves of sadness, anger, or anxiety. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, BPD may be linked to traumatic events, brain chemistry, and family history, but these factors aren’t always present in people with the disorder.
    Hidden, or quiet, BPD occurs when symptoms of BPD are present, but internalized (Healthline, 2020). Because symptoms of hidden BPD are not displayed outwardly, it can be difficult for someone without BPD to understand that a friend, partner, or family member’s actions are due to borderline personality disorder and not a toxic personality or a different mental disorder like anxiety.
    Disclaimer: Do not use this video as a self-diagnosis. But If you see yourself with these symptoms, it's best to consult a professional.

      Yup. The system goes well this sounds like it would be hard to treat and require a specialist... DENIED! They might as well have told me to go off myself since apparently we’re just worthless garbage since we didn’t tell anyone that we were being sexually abused from forever, until they got caught grooming the next victim when we were starting to get close to puberty. Then couldn’t go trough with going to the police. Have you ever been brainwashed to the point where you don’t even know if reality is real or not? Where it’s all too much and you aren’t you anymore, you’re fragmented now? Then you’d understand. I want to die, unfortunately the other don’t agree and still think there’s still hope. Tick tock tick tock, counting time until the inevitable death.

      Getting therapy is practically useless at times for me and only scratches the surface because I consciously and unconsciously deny myself of my problems or minimize them to the point that I’m not really doing anything different than talking to someone I trust about a few basic problems I’ve faced throughout the week or smth.

    I lost my younger brother, my only sibling to undiagnosed BPD this year. After losing him, it became like a mission of my life to find out what went wrong and that’s when I came across something called BPD. When I learnt about the symptoms, I was devastated. Devastated because my brother exhibited all the said symptoms and yet we could not figure out what was happening to him.
    Knowledge and awareness about different brain disorders should be made mandatory in schools so we do not lose our loved ones

      Side note: If you're diagnosed with BPD remember, it is not your Moms fault nor your's or anybody else's it's a health condition just like cancer etc. Unconditional Love and Understanding is the best and only way to deal with things.
      Also, instead of thinking of the Problem how about thinking of the Solutions! It is what one does with "challenging" news that really matters, whether there are bad days, good days always out-weigh bad one's, hands down!!
      Stay strong & look after thy self, self-sooth and treat others the way you'd like to be treated. 🥰

      Don't be scared to be diagnosed. At least you already have the awareness! Which is the most important part in order to heal. Also, don't be scared of meds, I know they sound extreme but in my case, they have helped a lot and I feel so much better. I don't feel the internal void anymore.

    I really appreciated the ending part about how BPD affects everyone differently and not everyone has the same symptoms, all symptoms, or experience them in the same way/same amount of time/intensity as others. That's been one of the hardest things for me to come to terms with since my diagnosis. I keep comparing myself to others with BPD and I think to myself "Oh... I'm not 1:1 with this description/experience...I don't have this, my doctor is a quack and I'm just sensitive and need to get a grip."
    So hearing that really made me feel validated. Thank you.

      i think an amazing part of BPD is it’s correlation with sensitivity. it sucks that we as highly sensitive people self criticize the most while taking on the pain of the world, but an amazing part of it is having the resilience to still move forward.
      us doubting the validity of our condition goes to show how invalidated we’ve been, but we are resilient ❤️

    Honestly, I’m not one to self diagnose. But watching this makes a lot of sense to why I’m acting the way I am. Been struggling with major depression and anxiety for years. But lately I have been very angry with my family members even if it wasn’t even something to be angry about! Making Christmas cookies with my sister and I didn’t follow the directions the proper way. She told me I didn’t do it right and this sense of anger took over me. It was almost like I wasn’t in control of what I was saying. I was just… angry. Ended up destroying my room and punched holes in the wall. Felt a great sense of guilt afterwards. And felt that my family would be better off without me. I felt like 5 different emotions within a span of 10 minutes. I don’t want to be like this. I don’t know why I am like this. It hurts my loved ones. They just think I’m straight up mean. I know it’s something much deeper inside me. I just need help but can’t talk to anyone about it, because I hate opening up like that.

      Literally same. Whenever I get stressed or something, it goes from feeling frustrated/irritable -> feeling sad -> feeling guilty/angry at myself -> feeling sad again all in such a short timespan. Though it's kind of surprising since I've never really considered myself the kind of person to get angry much, but I realized that's because I usually direct most of my anger and hatred towards myself. And that's prolly also why half the time I end up being toxic to other people without even realizing it because I tend to do things like withdraw and ghost when I'm upset, but I underestimate how that affects other people because I figure that no one will care yet I also want people to care.

      Each sentence ends with a period aka *.*
      For example: _I can cook meat balls._
      And how you are to write it in a list thing: _A. I like apples. B. I like to read. C. I can cook_
      And one last thing I'm going to tell you is parentheses aka *"("* and *")"*
      These can be used in a sentence as: _I like to eat apples (with peanut butter or caramel), I like to watch youtube (mainly minecraft and among us), and I like to cook meat balls (sometimes with rice or spaghetti depends on my mood)._

    I’ve been dealing with clInically diagnosed BPD/Bipolar disorder for about a decade now. It took a long time with many different medicines, psychiatrists and therapists, hospitalizations, and growth opportunities to get where I am now. The best advice I can give is to be honest with yourself and others, acknowledge and express your emotions, find useful coping strategies and use them, don’t be afraid to ask for and receive help (you are not a burden), and schedule time for yourself. Also, realize that any medicine or care you get won’t “fix” your disorder or make it go away, only help lessen the symptoms, so it is not an end-all be-all. Keep fighting the good fight peeps

    For 7 years I thought I just had uncontrollable anxiety. So many doctors and so many medications to try and get a handle on it. However, after a few visits with a psychiatrist I was diagnosed with BPD. I had never even considered this. At first I was angry and rejected the diagnosis. However, over time I was able to accept the issues I have and am working with mental health therapists.

    This summer I was diagnosed with BPD after a major depressive episode. It was scary and almost bewildering to receive that diagnosis after being diagnosed with major depression for 7 years. Having this new diagnosis though makes a lot more sense and lead to my psychiatric team and I to find ways to help myself. So far, we are doing DBT therapy and we may delve into addressing trauma. It's nice to see a better portrayal of BPD compared to what I heard and learned prior to my diagnosis. I'm studying biology and psychology and I had a professor completely shit on people with BPD.

    I’ve always felt there’s something wrong with me, lots of diagnoses didn’t fit much but this one is so relatable. I resonate so much with this, the self hate and self destructiveness is so true, sometimes I get so mad or sad I lash out and it can come out of no where, I often keep anger inside and then lash out after awhile, I’ve always been so terrified of rejection and social anxiety that it’s prevented me from leaving my home, I often change my feelings about a person changing between positive perceptions and negative, I am not super impulsive because I am very structured but I often dissociate. I don’t know if it’s really that because I am still slightly conscious but I feel like I am watching myself. I hope I can get a diagnosis but I would have to talk to my mom regarding mental health and that’s impossible for me.

    I was diagnosed with BPD. Never even had heard if it. Was angered when I asked what pill to take to fix that and they said its a behavioral problem no pill can fix. I do not like being told I have a behavioral problem especially when I am not aggressive, abusive or acting out. I thought I was misdiagnosed even though the childhood trauma was spot on for it.
    But then I learned of two types “Classic BPD” and the less common “Quiet BPD” in the video I think you refer to it as Hidden. I am quiet bpd. Im not a danger to you, only myself. And I know right from wrong and avoid doing those things. Me being Asexual helps as I don’t have the romantic issues more people with my disorder have as I prefer to be single.

      Good advice! 💯💯💯 I spent most of my formative years wondering why I didn't think, feel or react how my peers did when in the same situations. My parents just didn't really care tbh, they viewed me as an "awkward, ungrateful and uncooperative little b***tard." (loving parental quote there!)
      Eventually I got sick of having to always put on a front and feign being ok, I completely estranged myself from the whole lot of them, parents, siblings - everyone! Finally, I'm in therapy with a list of diagnoses as long as my arm, I'm 50 now so truthfully it really is too little too late for me. I created so much misery and destruction trying to not be "a f****ng nutcase" (another loving parental quote) and hid so much, that some ships really did sail long ago. I can never get those years back. Don't get me wrong, other people were not the reason for my mental health, nor were they to blame, but I really wish parents would take the mental wellbeing of their kids as seriously as physical wellbeing. MH is no joking matter, but I now realise my parents were more concerned with how THEY'D be viewed & judged as parents than they were with my awkwardness/ungratefulness blah blah blah!
      If as a young person you feel you're not being taken seriously, seek basic counselling through school or college initially. Then go from there. Sometimes parents do NOT actually know best, but regardless, please please PLEASE do not ignore MH symptoms. You have a whole long life ahead of you and today is the 1st day of the rest of that life. Statistically 1 in 3 people will suffer from MH issues at some point in their life, that's a shed load of people!
      Good luck and best wishes to everyone in this kind of predicament, seek help. You matter and you deserve to be happy.

    I have diagnosed bpd and I think relationships are the hardest for me. Like, one day, I'll adore my partner. I would do anything for them and I never want to lose them. But then the next day, I hate them, even if they haven't done anything.
    Before I was diagnosed, I would act on my hatred and just break up with the person. But now, I just know to wait it out until the feeling passes. It might sound easy, but its not. Hating someone for no reason and at the same time being aware that you hate someone for no reason makes me sick.

    • @kriskeilman8124
      @kriskeilman8124 3 роки тому +15

      Hey, Emma, I think, and I'm not alone in this, that it is actually a characteristic of most human beings to need the attention (pretty often AND regularly) of the people we care about. Attention is not just something that kids ask for, either by "misbehavior" or rebellion - it is needed by people of ALL ages. The thing is, the way many people AND MOST Americans are raised is to believe that asking for what you need is somehow BAD. (It may be a "left-over" from our Puritanical roots, which originally came from our forebears in the New England region of the country and also around New York.)
      What I'm getting at here is that it ISN'T wrong or bad to need and/or to ask for attention. You can make this go more easily if you think in advance what your areas of worry or concern are AND what sort of attention is most likely to help you with them. Some people are a lot more willing to help a worried or concerned person when they have SOME IDEA (from you) of WHAT they will be asked to do to help.
      Now, all of this shouldn't be discouraging. It is really only to say that the ease with which you can ASK for help and the LIKELIHOOD that you'll find family members or friends (you know: whoever you ask) who are willing (i.e., not afraid) to talk with you to help you ARE BOTH INCREASED if you can spend some quiet time thinking about what exactly is bothering you and what you might need to open up to another person about your feelings.
      Don't despair, please, because in almost every case you WILL be able to find someone to talk with, either friend or family or a person in the counseling profession
      One last thing, Emma: You mentioned that you were scared you might ruin relationships because of your possible BPD. If you tell the people who are in these relationships with you that you are having some personal worries (tell as little or as much as you think is wise, but DO share something) and ask them remember this and "cut you a little slack," because you value your relationship with them and want to protect it from any misunderstandings. This should help, too, at this difficult time.
      Good luck to you, Emma, and good wishes from me to you. I have a feeling from your comment that you will be able to BEGIN to find what you need. It IS, after all, a continuous process for ALL OF US.
      keep safe and healthy, emma! kris k.

      Just because your emotions do not swing, does not mean something is "wrong" . Emotions are not 'right' or 'wrong' they just are. If you are struggling with relationships with others or feel 'disconnected' from your emotions, that is just as much of a reason to chat with someone as if you have emotions that roller-coaster. It helps just to talk it out with a neutral person who can help you gain perspective.

      @@tararosabelle7368 Hey, I hope you're well and will get the opportunity to get diagnosed some day! but pls keep in mind that BPD is a personality disorder and most psychiatrists won't diagnose minors with it. It's said the personality isn't fully developed until the age of 18-20.
      I struggled with the symptoms since I can remember (even in my early childhood), mum went to 15+ psychiatrists with me since I was 6 (now 22), even had to stay at hospitals 4 times, before finally being diagnosed at the age of 18 in my final therapy. It can be a long way and most of the things to help you have to figure out yourself, because BPD is different from person to person. So I wish you that you don't have it, it's a pain in the ass most of the time...

      Exactly! I finally got diagnosed last year. 15 years ago I already knew I had it, but no one believed me and I couldn’t find a good and helpful psychologist. I really wanted a professional to diagnose me, so I’d have it on paper. Last year I finally found a wonderful psychologist and I got the diagnosis. It was such a relief even though I always knew I had it. Therapy has been really helpful!

    One of my best friends has BPD and it used to be a very hard and challenging friendship throughout our youth becaus she wasn´t diagnosed with it. Her actions and reactions to me were often so irrational to me, it sometimes felt like being slapped right in the face for no reason at all. Nevertheless, we never let go of each other and when she finaly got diagnosed i almost cried because i finaly got an explanation for all those things that happened this whole time. She also apologised to me for the hurtful things, she did back then. We´re still friends until today, talk about her disorder very openly and are there for each other in difficult times.

It seems quite a lot of these symptoms cross over into ADHD as well.... but that last one is definitely something I go through but didn't realise the term for it.

BPD is actually rarer than people think. It only affects 1% of the population and if you’re under the age of 18 you’re unlikely to be diagnosed with BPD as your personality hasn’t set in yet. It’s a lifelong disorder but you can manage symptoms better.

      @@Elizabeth-vr8cb Hello! I can recommend a channel called *How To ADHD* , there are SO many videos on there but there is definitely one in particular which outlines some of the tell tale signs of ADHD. Basically my husband was actually the one who noticed my behaviour and thought that was what I could have, then when I sent to a specialist it turned out I was a pretty textbook case. For me, my ADHD is hyperactive and inattentive combined. I'm incredibly easily distracted, hyperfocus only on things that interest me to the point where hours and hours can go by and I don't realise, but can't focus on something that doesn't give me any sort of dopamine... e.g mundane tasks, reading long paragraphs of texts (though funnily enough I can write them, but that's probably because my hyperactive brain is trying to spew out as much information as possible and doesn't QUITE know when to stop🤣🤣), watching something that isn't the most interesting. I struggle to process what's being said to me quickly, or what I've read. I often have to go over things again and again and even then it sometimes still doesn't sink in because my brain has already darted off onto something else. I am very easily overwhelmed by tasks, take on too much, have an acute inability to regulate my emotions... going from 0 to 100 real fast. I have a humongous issue with rejection of any kind, and have lost many friends because of these and more symptoms. It's been a constant struggle all my life, yet was only diagnosed 2 years ago. Another great channel is *ADHD Management*. Check both of those out. Even though I've laid out SOME of my symptoms, please don't compare yourself to me. See if you relate, yes, but get yourself checked by a professional. I really hope you find the help you need... it was a breath of fresh air getting diagnosed xxx

    I have been diagnosed with BPD. BPD is so complex to talk about when you are not speaking to a person that also has it. More often the feelings are so overwhelming that you cant even describe what you are feeling, it can be a mix of so many different kinds of feelings. Anxiety mixed with anger and disgust just for an example, for me that has been how i’ve behaved in deep relationships with girlfriends, uncontrollable feelings that are so foggy and not logic at all, something gets triggered, a thought comes up, a fake scenario is made and last the fake scenario becomes a reality, not in the mind but in your feelings, fake shit can feel so real its absolutely fcked up. I guess its kind of a self-defense mech? Go through feelings before they happen or ever will happen? Although in the end of the day to make things easier you have to be in absolute self-control over your feelings, and also have done therapy to become aware of every aspect of behavior you have. You are not born with BPD, call it a personality disorder but to be honest its more of a in-learned behavior, I never asked for this but here I am, taking responsibility for my own healing even though I didnt cause it, thanks.

I find that bpd is also very hard for people to spot but many also struggle to handle themselves when faced with situations they have no influence over and it involves them. I also account for this. Please any one that struggles with questions do not dismiss the option of counselling! it took me over 8 different kinds of councilors and therapists before I found my current one that I have been with for over 20 years now. always go into sessions be it individual or group with an open mind on things. Remember to think how could I take this and help myself or how it could be something to help another. Learning how to manage your mind and figure out how to manage yourself threw interaction settings will take time, and patience, and honestly quite a bit of self reminders like Maybe it is the situation and not just what interaction happened. Sure people may look at you like your nuts when you tell them how things make you feel. Yet then you have just taken the first step to creating a working understanding between those interacting. Stay strong, Know you are loved, and always believe in yourself ALWAYS. You have a choice, thus a chance to change things when you reach out for help, better understanding, and it is not cheating, but merely a use of resources!^^

    You can love and be loved without this disorder getting in the way, you can be a loving and good person, people can love you the way you are.
    BDP is one of those disorders with so much prejudice. It is hard, going through it and getting to a controlled point. There will be always better and worst days, but therapy helps, a good therapist helps.
    I know it's not as easy to get good quality therapy, but keep trying, don't give up and push through those intrusive thoughts about yourself. You deserve it, you can do it and you have a place in this world. Look for help of any kind. Life can be worth living and fighting for.
