Do you split? #bpd #mentaldisorder #splitting #mentalhealth #relationship #love

Thank you for this. I try really hard not to use "splitting words" like, always and never etc. This is a hard thing to learn and I struggle big time with splitting with friends and myself. I'm at the point in my recovery where I am aware about it, but it's really hard to catch myself when it's happening. I see it more after it happens. It's frustrating.

Dr. Fox,

"Splitting" is such a nice colorful word from a clinical perspective. The dichotomous ideology is the fabric of my life. Everything is extreme for me. My feelings are extreme. My emotions are extreme. My energy is extreme.

Hell, I even describe myself as extreme 👀😭😭😭 Not "splitting" as you put it absolutely does seem impossible 😭😭😭

When I'm being extremely emotionally hurt by someone "splitting" has save me from total physical rage so I'm not too sure if its totally a bad thing IMHO 🤷🏼‍♀️

Can people actually do these things, as easy as you make it sound without treatment for Bpd? I just recently got diagnosed and my splitting behaviors right now, the feelings behind these episodes are very strong...I split mainly on my favorite person, who is my mental health program worker. I am not in love with her but I get the feelings associated with love, and sometimes like an intrusive thought they just come out of nowhere and hits my mind so hard. Yet, I can so easily through a misperceived look, tone, or body shift, begin to devalue her because I think she's playing with me...but I feel like I love her so much. Sometimes I go through strong feelings of attachment and strong feelings of avoidance at the same time, this causes emotional dysregulation and anxiety for me.

BORDERLINE IS SO CONFUSING, and it can be SO DRAINING, but yet it can be SO REWARDING at the same time..

I start therapy soon, hopefully someone can help me. I am very pessimistic but we'll see what happens.

I wish I could get my GF to see and understand this… frustrating to see this happening over and over.

I happen to be splitting right at this moment. More in the after math of it. But still. I want to leave my partner because I do not feel seen. I do not know if he is telling me the truth about things sometimes or if he is manipulating me. I don't know if I am the only one or if both him and I have a dysfunctional brain. It sucks. Sometimes I feel like I can persevere through anything. Other times I just want to run away. I have no health insurance so I had to stop medication. I'm good most days, I think. I just sit in this self pity of mourning the person I feel I should have been able to be. But because of this thing, I feel mentally disabled sometimes. Anyone else feel this way? I will come out of it, and persevere again, just today, at this moment, I feel a deep sadness. Ugh 😩
