What is Borderline Personality Disorder - It’s the most dramatized of the personality disorders (Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction with her boiled bunny, anyone?) but one of the least understood. This week, we clear the air with nine signs of borderline personality disorder.

----------------------
---------------------

9 Signs of Borderline Personality Disorder - (BPD):

Sign #1: Fear of abandonment.

Sign #2: Unstable relationships.

Sign #3: Feeling unsure of who you are.

Sign #4: “I make bad choices.”

Sign #5: Maxed-out mood swings.

Sign #6: Anger.

Sign #7: Emptiness.

Sign #8: Self harm.

Sign #9: Small departures from reality.
--------------------------

What to do about all this? Luckily, there’s Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the go-to treatment for BPD. There are four skills. Two of them fall in the “change” camp: first, there’s emotion regulation, otherwise known as being able to work with your emotions rather than just letting them break over you like a wave. Second, there’s what’s called interpersonal effectiveness, or how to ask for what you want, as well as how to say no, while leaving your relationships intact. The other two skills fall in the “acceptance” camp. The third is mindfulness—observing and describing the present moment without trying to change it. The last? Distress tolerance—building up your ability to endure emotion that otherwise might have sent you into a tailspin.

This is so accurate. I have BPD and try to lift the stigma regarding the condition and other mental health misunderstandings.
Overtime and with the right therapy, you can manage the disorder. Remember: you are NOT your diagnosis 🌸💙🌸

I have just been diagnosed with BPD traits as I’m only 16. This explains me to a T and after hearing this about myself today I can’t help but feel like a monster and feel like everything that’s ever happened in my life is my fault. I know I’m not a monster and I’m trying but I just feel so broken.

Well, I know self diagnosis isn't typically accurate, but just by this list I think I may have BPD
