  Friendly reminder you dont have to tolerate this or keep going out with someone with bpd. Have compassion and understanding yes but at same time its your wellbeing at stake. Dont feel guilty if you need to leave. Being a martyr wont help and will leave u emotionally broken

  Wow. I remember one time she caused an extremely chaotic situation against me and my family and the police actually were called. After the incident I told her she had to leave and she broke down like a 5 year old crying uncontrollably and she sat in the closet crying saying over and over “What did I do”. I tried to rationally explain the situation but she could not understand. She then took some of her prescribed Xanax and once she was medicated she called another guy she knew and went with him and told me she hated me etc….It was insane. I was just relieved at the moment to be away from her because I was having anxiety from the whole ordeal and had to get away. She called me a day later pleading with me that she really loved me and wanted to be with me and nobody else. The whole thing was really traumatic but I did eventually take her back. Wow when I think back it was really crazy. I’m lucky to have survived. I think back and I feel so bad for her and I would love to see her get the help she needs but I cannot be with her. It’s just too toxic and intense. I can’t deal with it mentally or physically.<br>When they flip it is scary and dangerous.

  As someone with bpd these comments on these types of videos make me feel like trash..the generalizing, the dehumanizing… I understand y’all are telling your experience with your person but not everyone with bpd does what have been done to you.. and we still deserve to be loved.

  Hi, I’m Francesca from Italy and I have BPD. I got my diagnosis about a year ago, after a suicide attempt. <br>I swear I’ve almost seen any video on the internet about this disorder. I’d like to say that this one in particular is one of the best I’ve ever seen: it’s super clear, detailed and I just keep up with the content as the doctor expresses herself in a way that keeps me focused (why I usually am not, I’m probably ADHD).<br>Thank you doctor for sharing with the YouTube community your knowledge 🙏🏼

  The character portrayed by Glenn Close in the Movie Fatal Attraction had numerous signs of the borderline personality disorder.

  Postpartum depression triggered BPD in my wife &amp; OMG she has been a 21 year nightmare to live with. The slightest thing triggers her out of control emotions &amp; BOOM off she goes: reckless spending, intense mood swings, cheating with coworkers, &amp; then just like that as calm &amp; as loving as can be. Recent Example: Driving in car - I would not take the road she wanted me to, &nbsp;BOOM - she went into a 6 hour intense anger rage. Prior to giving birth she was an awesome wife, so you never know, marriage is like rolling the dice.

  I was searching for marital advice on YouTube for about a week straight (tons of good info). One day, a video about borderline personality disorder pops up as the first video in my feed. Just the name of it sounds scary and I wanted to see what someone with BPD experiences. Well, it’s what I experience and it’s the reason that I was searching for marital advice in the first place. This explains a lot in my life. The online tests say moderate or moderate to severe. I’m now on Wellbutrin which helps a lot and getting a referral for a therapist for a possible diagnosis. Thanks, YouTube algorithm! 😉<br><br>Also, this channel best describes BPD, if I do have it.

  I was. Diagnosed with bpd by a psychiatrist in jail and I spent 3 years in intensive group psychotherapy and art therapy and believe me It changed me in so many ways not fixed but I’ve stayed out and not killed any more people (little joke) It was armed robbery &nbsp;this vid was absolutely so on the money!!! And very well put together

  Thanks for bringing awareness to this. About 4 therapists misdiagnosed me and I wish they hadn’t because soooooo much pain and suffering has occurred. Now that I am aware of these issues I will work towards healing and controlling my temper. Also want to point out BPD usually develops after much abuse/neglect in childhood. So DONT BE JUDGEMENTAL of others.

  Thank you so much for this informative, fair representation of what it is to experience BPD. As someone who has struggled heavily with Borderline, it is often difficult for me to explain to friends and family to help them understand. There is sometimes so much guilt, shame, and fear that I just want to underplay what I experience. Thank you for giving me this tool to share and help loved ones understand. 🌹
