I honestly wish there were more mental health professionals like you that were accessable! The ones in my county and surrounding counties lack empathy. They don't seem to care much or want to actually listen & take into account what their patients have to say. It seems impossible to find a decent mental health doctor for me so your RU-vid videos help me so much more than you know!! Thank you so much for all you do.

@AURIELLA333 Год назад

@mandytaylordelmont Год назад

@candaceharris3675 Год назад

It's really a shame. I also very much believe that Mental health disorders cause so many physical symptoms/illnesses. Family doctors & specialists need to start working hand in hand with mental health professionals. It shouldn't be separate. It's all linked. Physical issues can cause mental health problems and mental health problems can cause physical issues. It also needs to be talked about way more.... Even the mental illnesses that are "bad" or that make ppl "uncomfortable" need to be talked about more openly. My family & many others seems to think you should just be able to simply "get over it" and "change your way of thinking". I wish it were that easy..........

@anareginacoronado1147 Год назад

I was diagnosed with bipolar 2, however I always thought I had BDP which is a label I don't mind having, I talked about it with my therapist and psychiatrist, they said I didn't have BPD, I thought they were being condescendant, however now I'm certain I'm just 100% bipolar 2 with codependency issues. There's some online pop psychology content that tends to oversimplify diagnosis, beware of diagnosing yourselves people.

@3005511 28 дней назад

I am 29 years old and I was diagnosed with borderline when I was 24. I agree with this diagnosis as it is abundantly clear I have BPD. I showed my first symptoms at just 8 years old. That was the first time I formulated a plan to “off” myself. My childhood had some really bad stuff in it and that’s what caused the BPD, along with the fact that my mother clearly has it too from her own adverse childhood experiences. I know it’s not preferred to diagnose mental health conditions before age 18, but I really do think I suffered from BPD even as a child.

@taylorthatwriter6865 Год назад

I'm overwhelmed by my suspicions that I have BPD. I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder last year, and while medications are helping somewhat, I still feel all those feelings of emptiness, fear of abandonment, self-hatred / suicidal ideation, affective instability, unstable relationships, fear of abandonment / rejection, risky behaviors. I have periods of instability, but I can pinpoint specific triggers that precede these periods of instability. They're not really brought on by random occurrence. Anyways, I'm just frustrated. LOL

@rikuumii 7 месяцев назад

That really sounds more like BPD than bipolar. You could have both. I also think I have BPD. I have some bipolar symptoms but they don't last that long. I could have episodes that mimic hypomanic phases but they only last a few hours to 1-2 days. Depression lasts much longer. But I also have a ton of different emotions in one day. It's really distressing. I hope you can heal, it's hard but possible

@irfangullbhat Год назад

Moderate borderline with intense specific social anxiety handling delicate tea or coffee cups in front of others. My SA is so specific and tea obsessive that I am totally opposite in rest of the social situations. So as an extrovert and a social butterfly it is extremely painful for me to miss out on whole things out of the nonsensical fret of possibly having to handle those stupid tea cups. My ridiculous mind will inevitably make me shake my hands when lifting to sip the drink, then I freeze, get stiff, shakes transfer to neck, head, legs, then voice, then blush, in short I invite all the attention to the point where I force people to look away. Then I feel awful for weeks. This whole thing is the exact example of making mountain out of molehill, cooking it all in the head. What helps Coping methods and experience of 20 years with the condition 1. Get rid of all drugs, smoking, alcohol 2. When entering shop, don't leave, fight 3. Start is important, you enter confidently, head high, slowly and breathing deep and calm, make eye contacts, act confidently 4. Begin going alone, as BPD have susceptiblity to interference, you may loose focus, calmness by getting distracted 5. When you sit don't look down or pretend to use cellphone, look up, forward, to the ceiling, pay attention to attractive things 6.what to think Your condition is not your fault, you didn't even come to life on your own. You didn't choose your environment or genes or both This reduces entire mental baggage and self expectation. It's OK to shake a lil, then deliberate the shake a lil, you will realise not being perfectly steady or lil bodily movements are not embarrassing at all, it is all in the head. With age you will also realise control panel is the anxiety inside not the exhibition outside, you have to control and calm the mind. Don't fall into the mistake of fighting shakes or blushes What really helps is to see things while comparing their size with your own size e.g if you struggle with handling small things, just make it a habit to sort of charge at them with a dominant body language telling yourself how comical it is to shy away from something so tiny and benign. You are a big boy/girl, you have large hands, it is so simple. Handle things with minimum effort, the more energy you put into it the messy it gets Facial expression is important, act confident and at ease. Don't frown or squint your eyes. Keep your lips together and act wise and calm. Remember we are all in the same side in the restaurant or on the table with the purpose to enjoy food, it is not a performance event. Get through first two minutes, half life of negative emotions is so short, that if you start well, as soon as the anxiety subsidies the natural instincts will take over and you will finish the drink in enjoyment. More power to BPDs and SAD sufferers 👍👍👍

Thank you for explaining the overlaps and differences in such a concise and clear way. It's not only truly fascinating but also very helpful with having loved ones and peers who are affected. I actually started training and working (for a few hours for starters) as a peer support worker. Your videos inspired me to learn more, find out more about bpd and borderline and look into resources for myself and my cptsd. Your videos are so interesting and my curiosity took me even farther so that now I am beginning a new career at age 58, not having worked in years.

@ladybaabaa3294 Год назад

That's interesting about the age of first symptoms. I have BPD and I thought at first that I first showed symptoms at age 17, when I first self harmed. But then looking back, I was lying, manuipulating, extremely emotionally volatile and unstable, before age 16. And THEN looking even further back, I developed my first "Favourite Person" (FP) feelings at age 15. And that person continued to be my FP until age 22, before which we were first best friends and then together in an intimate relationship. At age 15, I had a "crush" on her (which I didn't recognise as I didn't think I was gay and felt nothing sexual), and would explode at her, act strangely like throw leaves at her, one time I squashed a pear into the top of her head as I felt insulted and neglected by her. One time she said she might move away, and I got so distraught I had to sit in the toilet cubicle, crying, instead of going to class. Anyway...yeah. Age 15. BPD. Caused by CPTSD that came from trauma and chronic anxiety and fear starting at age 4. Bipolar...I have ALL the traits of "mixed episode Bipolar", but I don't have episodes. I'm ALWAYS like this. I'm ALWAYS depressed, and always irritable as a part of that. I'm not unstable or volatile APART from with a FP, if I have one. I only react extremely to them.

@ladybaabaa3294 Год назад

@@janettemartin4604 Thank you! I hold no anger, blame or resentment towards my dad. He quit drinking cold turkey when I was 14 and I'll be 44 soon, so he hasn't had a drop of alcohol for 30 years and that's something to be proud of. My parents are still together, as when he wasn't drunk, he was a great husband and father. They're in their mid-70s now. My mum and I have always been very close, and she was a very stable and strong presence. My dad was more sort of fun, no real discipline, he'd spoil me and I think try to make up for the drinking, even though I didn't show that I hated it. He was only absent when he was drunk, even though he was still there. But he was different, so it scared me. Plus I was always scared he would hurt my mum (verbally mainly, but when I was younger, I worried about physically too, though that thankfully never happened), and I was always loyal to her in our stance that we hated him drinking, but at the same time, I was trying to still make sure my dad knew I loved him. I was also scared my dad would die from drinking, as his mum (my grandma) died when I was only 5 and he was only 34. She was an alcoholic and died from it. My dad's whole family were alcoholics (all who are still alive are sober now) and his childhood was HUGELY traumatic. He once woke up to his mum trying to smother him with a pillow. Yet when she wasn't drinking, she was a great mum. Before age 7, I would be very open about my displeasure when he'd be drunk. After a while, when nothing changed, it felt embarrassing to show negative emotions, as it felt like my needs were unable to be met, so I preferred not to show I even HAD any needs. I also didn't want my mum to be worried about me. And I didn't want my dad to feel bad. I had felt guilty for expressing my unhappiness with him before. So...yeah. My issue now is, I have constant fear, a sense of dread, impending doom, and that something bad will happen to my parents. I can't enjoy or deal with anything as I now have depression / anhedonia caused by this long term anxiety. I can't work, I don't shower regularly, I sleep most of the day, and I don't eat all day as I'm never hungry. Apart from that, between the ages of 17 and 22, almost all the members of my family that I really loved died. I remember feeling numb and that it was a relief to not have many people left that I would be devastated if they died. Which is kinda sad.

Hi Dr. Fox, your videos on BPD are very informative and really useful. I appreciate all the work you do for people with these conditions. I was wondering, how are adolescents supposed to be treated, in regards to mental health? Back when i was 14, i was admitted to a regular hospital by ambulance after attempting suicide, having previous history of NSSI and also a diagnosis of depression. The attempt was life-threatening and I was high-risk already from self-harming and impulsive behaviours like drug and alcohol use, and being a flight risk at school. The crisis team spoke to me the next day when i was feeling better, decided that i could continue doing weekly therapy as i had already been doing for two years before the attempt, and sent me home under 24 hours after having arrived. I really feel that they didnt do enough, and didnt really take the time to care or even consider what was going on or how to deal with it. I just think it was a little underwhelming and very invalidating and not a very good judgment call, because i did end up going home and continuing self-injury and my dad was constantly on edge because i was threatening suicide a lot of the time when i felt abandoned or rejected. Later on, more in depth therapy and diagnosed BPD, and I really feel frustrated that I wasn’t taken seriously at 14 for those issues. I dont expect them to have diagnosed BPD in a 14 year old, that is not going to happen, but i am not sure at all whether their reaction to my attempt was normal or whether they really should have taken more precautions, especially with my medical history. Would love to know your input.

I believe that anyone with a condition that carries the risk of psychosis-- this includes BPD and Bipolar Disorder-- is not eligible for these studies. Psychedelic substances (including marijuana), are known to hasten the onset and increase the severity of psychotic illness. I'm glad that these new therapies exist, but as with all medications, they're not for everyone.

Still can't make my mind about my own condition: I do have prolonged depression periods which are very severe, i usually cant go out of bed for days, i have suicidal thoughts and even took action once, sleep for days sometimes around 16-18 hours a day. I do have hypo manic phases whic if are not induced by drugs and substance are pretty minor , although very narcissistic. I think im all able and all powerful and that im the most intelligent and capable men in the room and definitely dont need as much sleep breaks or food while in that phase. But i do feel like i have more the 3 phases or characters (stable, manic, depressed), i feel like i have a very wide and diverse personality. With different people im a whole different person. I do have abandonment and attachments issues , woman where always a problem for me. I had like 20 different girl friends in my life and I'm 27. I feel like i define myself and my self worth through my relationships and with woman in particular. Could it be cbpd? Maybe it bd 2 and bpd? Something else? I feel very lost for years now, and from as far as i can remember myself i doubted my sanity and my ‏decision making. Constantly asking people around my for their perspective and opinion for my actions and thoughts.

I think callig it emotion swings rather than mood swings is better when it comes to BPD

Are these diseases actual diseases like having cancer? Like, a disease in the brain? If so, why do most people threat it like a personal thing or disfunction, or like, if we just acted differently or think positive? And HOW do you change it. For the love of god, how!?

I was diagnosed with both BP2 and BPD, although my psychologist suspects that I have a mild case of DID, rather than BPD.

20 years ago my wife gave birth and went full blown postpartum-Borderline/Manic Depressive. Irritable mood, engagging in rish-taking behaviors, impulsivity, fear of abandonment, reckless spending, relationship problems, intense anger, hysterical. She is a nightmare to live with & I am leaving her this summer right after our son graduates college.

32yo male here , diagnosed with BPD when i was 24 , quiet type , went thru all the therapies , followed by a doc in the private sector. met an amazing girl 7 months ago , said she didnt feel well , guided her thru the process and she ended up with a bipolar type 2 diagnosis.( i didnt help her , she did it by herself i just guided her ) all went well for 4 months , until what i suspect was an hypomanic episode. started lying , pushing my boundaries , stopped all form of meaningful communication , sent an avalanche of mixed feelings. didnt know what to do cause everytime i tried talking to her about it she responded along the lines ' tired of people telling me im a bad person ' i had to leave one month ago , learned the lies started months ago and that i was the only one trying to make it work. even tho im the one who left , cant help but feel the trigger of abandonment. relationships sometimes....

I, as a bpd diagnosed 41 aged 👨, feel some discomforts like feeling impatience an suffocation, Repentance for past mistakes and .... . Then I think you said that there is no medication for personality disorders. What about for decreasing symptoms? And my next question: is RTMS beneficial for it? Is there any reflection from BPD in QEEG ? Thanks 😊

If I don’t feel that my bpd affects my life (I don’t care much about rejection and emptiness and other symptoms) but still I’m irritable and and binge eat and bored very easily like 2 minutes and I need to go somewhere, to do something else, and it lasts days or weeks and then i feel depressed, lazy and not talkative and I don’t have appetite, can this mean i don’t have bpd but may have bipolar 2?

@victoriaa.993 Год назад

You can also have both. I suggest that you get assessed by a professional.

@chrismelvin3159 11 месяцев назад

I like this presentation, but I think we should really evaluate that graph with BPD and bipolar disorder around 3 minutes in. The graph suggests that there are far more individuals with BPD vs bipolar disorder. The BPD circle is massive in comparison. We need to think more critically about this. I believe the size of those circles are not representative of the population. I wish Dr. Fox would spell this out better or make stronger visual guides

@mayall6985 Год назад

The other day I found an AD in Facebook for a clinical trial to do with BPD, in the comments I found people who've done it already saying they put you on medication, which I'm against because I was on medication for years and it never worked for me as someone with BPD traits, I was given the green light by my psychotherapist back in the UK. I commented on the ad that it sucked because I wouldn't go on medication ever again, some guy who calls himself a doctor and he is, because I checked his clinic on Google, started laughing at me. I confronted him, he said my doctor shouldn't be a doctor because he let me off my medication, not only that but he did told me to go and k**l myself and that I probably self harm, which he found hilarious (I do not self harm, never have), he also ridiculed me telling me I will never be in a stable relationship because of my BPD (I've been in an 8 year RS going for 9 and it's been one of my healthiest RS and it's actually healthier than many relationships out there from people who do not suffer from a personality disorder). I know, from years of reading and studying about my condition, that BPD isn't really treated with medication, but instead with therapy and other skills such as mindfulness and meditation. I tried to explain this to this Mickey Mouse doctor, but of course his ego wouldn't let him see passed that. Obviously this doctor wasn't specialised in psychology or neurology, he's just a general practice doctor. What's my point to all of this? Don't always trust what a doctor says just because they say they're doctors, this guy I had this dilema with, is obviously a doctor that quite possibly does a lot of malpractice. When I was 15 a doctor of general practice said I was bipolar after listening to my issues for 15 minutes. You have to be very careful who you trust in the medical world. I like this video because it showed a lot of evidence of which I tried to give this other doctor who thought it was all BS.
