I am diagnosed with BPD. I don’t have fights with people however I recently experienced pure rage which I had to control and sit uncomfortably with but that was more irritable and things getting on my nerves very very easy and I could feel I could start an argument with someone. It wasn’t nice to feel that way but thankfully it subsided after 5 days
This was so helpful Maddie! I have BPD and it can be hard to control my emotions sometimes but with therapy and God in my life, I have improved so much! ❤❤❤
i was diagnosed with bpd a few days ago and i've been watching youtube videos to learn more about the disorder and everyone's experiences with it. so i feel less isolated now that i'm seeing that a lot of people have this. thank you for this video, you have earned a subscription from me. 💕💕💕
I always felt I have BPD. Or CPTSD. Or both. And I 'split' on everyone from my bf, friends, parents, family members, coworkers, clients. I'm very unstable and I try so hard to be in control of myself. I self harm. Then I get into extreme happy days. But it switches up so fast. Idk how to even get a diagnosis. And I'm scared to get a wrong diagnosis.
Thank you for this video! I love your mental health Monday videos! I think I’m struggling with BPD, but haven’t received an official diagnosis, but for sure have experienced all of these symptoms (to a degree) thank you for sharing you have no clue how much you’re helping people like me!
Heya Maddie , just want to say these videos help !:)) really love watching your videos about mental health. I just want to ask a question to you and to the people in the comments : do you guys ever find it hard when people in your life try to blame a time when you are feeling hurt by someone and react reasonably, on your bpd . Like your splitting on them, for example in relationships, friendships etc hope this makes sense ❤️
Hello ☺️ - I personally am diagnosed with BPD & I am at my current best when managing it however I have recently encountered someone letting me down. I have definitely had to check if I was reacting because of my BPD or if I was correct in how I felt. Luckily my therapist helps me but it is personally frustrating because sometimes I have to ask myself if it’s my BPD or if I have a right to my feelings. If someone else says it’s my BPD, I will analyse it to see if they are right and if they aren’t then I will tell them why that’s incorrect. Open and honest is the best policy❤️
I adored my partner the other week....now I hate him 😒 the millionth time this year. I don't trust myself to know which one is real. It's exhausting 😪 Yes I've got quiet BPD. My self hate and anger goes inwards. This video has helped me so much. I've had to leave college due to my overwhelming emotions and self hate. I work full time also and it takes me all night to switch off from people at work. So college in the week with a big class was way too much for me to cope with, alongside all the work on top. Every day is such hard work due to ever changing emotions which we then have to try and regulate. I feel I need to live in a hut alone. Just me and nature 🧡
i am certain at this point that i have bpd and i have been struggling for 10 months now. i did get help for it but i just wasn't able to talk to the therapist, she was like a robot just sitting there. i was done with her and left after three sessions. that was 5 months ago and now when i told my parents that i want to a different doctor like a hundred times, they said to be that i don't need it.
I got diagnosed with bpd almost a yr ago and I can relate to the disorder but I'm not sure if I relate to it in a way where it's just normal but not bpd level. Are there signs that someone may not have bpd? Even if they were diagnosed? I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar so I have fears that this is also a misdiagnosis plus I was diagnosed weirdly. I don't know if the way I was diagnosed is normal. I know that it didn't make me feel confident that they did enough work to make sure I do have bpd. Plus I keep getting therapist saying I don't "look like" I have bpd. And these were ppl I've only just met or only see twice a month. Like the therapist I'm currently seeing is the one I see twice a month. She keeps saying I don't look like I have bpd but I've only been seeing her for two months (4 one hr sessions so far bro). I'm scared that if I try to get reevaluated that the professionals will half-ass it. I'm kinda paranoid and I don't know whether to claim I have bpd or pretend I was never diagnosed until I'm sure I do....
Hi, youtube decided to rec this video to me and i got sucked in lol. We think my dad had BPD (to the best of my family and our respective therapists guesses because he refused to go anywhere near treatment). He checks off so many of these boxes though, well over 5 and his mom was no picnic either. But even if it wasn’t exactly what he had, I can still speak to the anger management issues. He would get angry at us when he felt like we were abandoning him in any way shape or form. Most of these ways were gross over reactions, like maybe I don’t have interest in something he’s interested in, or maybe I don’t sweep exactly how he wants me to sweep. Or he’d rehearse conversations in his head before he had them in real life and if you didn’t say what he predicted you would say he’d get mad at that. It came off as very micro-managing with erratic emotional reactions depending on if we accurately guessed what he wanted. Hopefully this helps explains where the anger can come from. At least with him the anger seemed to stem from insecurity and paranoia around abandonment. In the end, it became a self fulfilling prophesy because everything he did to try and keep us from leaving made it terrible to live with him. Thank you for spreading awareness though, and encouraging people to seek help. It’s nice to hear it’s made living easier for you, and hopefully it helps others from hurting themselves and those around them 💕 Edit: I’ll add that he was very nice to strangers, only ever really showed aggression toward his family as far as I could tell. Although he would discuss other people who made him angry, he never showed them aggression to their face in real life.
I am also staying in a very busy street that pass my house. I am going off my head. Can I please have tips to help me not to focus on the noise the whole time? I even thought of a waterfeature on my balcony but not sure if that will help. Please help me with ideas. I am going crazy
Having a box fan going on creates an excellent white noise effect, it blocks out alot, I would use one close to my head at night pointed away from me to drown out freeway traffic sounds, hope that helps
I had to go to my doctor and tell them what I had as they kept trying to make me do the same 6-8 week therapies which I explained I had done many times and it wasn’t what I needed, I needed longer term therapy because of my symptoms. I had to argue my case for many years to many different people but you are your best support and you know what’s going on in your head❤️
