Borderline Personality Disorder and Hypnotherapy
Just burst into tears reading this. I must try it. I want to be better so badly.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Borderline personality disorder is a condition in which people have long-term patterns of unstable or turbulent emotions, such as feelings about themselves and others.
These inner experiences often cause them to take impulsive actions and have chaotic relationships.
People with BPD are often uncertain about their identity. As a result, their interests and values may change rapidly.
People with BPD also tend to see things in terms of extremes, such as either all good or all bad. Their views of other people may change quickly. A person who is looked up to one day may be looked down on the next day. These suddenly shifting feelings often lead to intense and unstable relationships.
Some Symptoms Include:
Fear of being abandoned
Feelings of emptiness and boredom
Frequent displays of inappropriate anger
Impulsiveness with money, substance abuse, sexual relationships, binge eating, or shoplifting
Intolerance of being alone
Repeated crises and acts of self-injury, such as wrist cutting or overdosing
I remember when my Psyche teacher was describing BPD
“If you ever are in a relationship with someone with BPD… Run. Get out of there.”
At the time I was somewhat insulted, but now I just sit here… Smiling sadly at my folded hands… Thinking about how much of a good piece of advice that is.
/cried
“Individuals with BPD are often described as deliberately manipulative, and many of them are quite good at it, but it is more of a reflection of extreme insecurity and anxiety about being rejected or abandoned.”
