I HAVE BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER

a) Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Don't get this confused with bi-polar disorder. BPD is a condition characterized by difficulties regulating emotion. This means that people who experience BPD feel emotions intensely and for extended periods of time, and it is harder for them to return to a stable baseline after an emotionally triggering event.

b) Those who suffer from BPD can feel like they are disconnected from reality. Almost like you are in a video game and even though things around you are real, you don't believe it. Many times, intense emotions like come up from nowhere and your perfect day is all of a sudden ruined by a traumatic breakup or death in the family. This may sound easy to "get over", but if you have BPD, it is a continuous loop that slowly brings you down and isolates you from friends and family. 

d) This is what happened to one of our anonymous followers who has been struggling with BPD his entire life. It has destroyed many of his closest relationships and even made him black out and become somebody else in front of his girlfriend. He also gives us a very detailed description of the symptoms and what it's like to live with BPD. If anything in this video resonates with you, please reach out to someone and always make sure to stay safe. 

e) Please know, you are not alone. Even if those around you don't believe you or say you are exaggerating, we believe you; our followers believe you, and you will get better. We are not physicians, so if you feel you may be suffering from BPD, please consult a physician. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Help will always be waiting for you if you ask. Stay strong and don't give up.
