BPD Remission is Possible #borderlinepersonalitydisorder

Accountability, addressing unhealthy behaviors, and a lot of trial-and-error is also part of the journey. Healing BPD symptoms is not an easy one, but it’s one that’s achievable and very much in the realm of possibiltiies if you decide that’s the path you want to take. 💕 #bpd #bpdawareness #bpdrecovery #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #mentalhealth #lgbt🌈 #narcissism

It took me until I saw your channel to realize exactly how far I've come in my own healing journey. I met the criteria of BPD for most of my life. My last relationship wrecked me, and shoved me onto this journey by force. I had to realize so many things about myself that were maladaptive and toxic, which was excruciatingly difficult given the victim-mentality I'd lived in for so long. It takes so much work, but change IS possible, and so is living joyfully💛✨️

Your openness and honesty are powerful and inspiring. I can feel the empathy and hope you’re offering to others with BPD. Seeking help and believing in a better life is very important.

Literally can't thank you enough for making these videos!! You're saving lives and helping people feel not so alone and "crazy" ❤

I was on the edge of the diagnosis in my late teens. I was so lucky to have been with a therapist who called me on it. The biggest step was taking responsibility for my own stuff and no longer taking on the what doesn't belong to me. I also realized that I was depending on others for fulfillment and happiness which led to awful situations when those people were toxic or I was relying too much on them becoming toxic myself. I decided to be my support and love myself because I'll always be here. It was a real revelation. I still have my pity moments but I catch myself and get over them a lot easier now. I hope to be a life coach that specializes in trauma and empowerment to help others one day. For now I just support those I'm close to on their journeys.

I agree, I was just as confused at 20 years old, now I'm 30, have amazing relationship with my husband and two beautiful children and life is great!

The online rhetoric about BPD really had me hating myself even more than I already did. I'm not giving up.

My uncle is almost 70 and never searched for help because he thinks he's ok, at this point, you're far better than him because you realized you needed help and did the right thing a lot younger than him

I'm currently 5+ years into therapy. I have bipolar and BPD. DBT has changed my life dramatically! Showing up for myself and doing the necessary work has also alleviated many of my traits!
Thank you for sharing your story! So much respect 🙏🏼

Thank you so much. I’m 30 and just got my diagnosis and I have to say. Your videos help me a lot ❤

I got misdiagnosed unfairly in an MHU by a doctor who had only spoken to me a few times. I’m about to have my 75th surgery at almost 30 and it started as a baby. My biological father was also a narcissist (outside the home) who tormented and abandoned me. Though I was blessed with a Dad who loves me and raised me. What I actually have is severe CPTSD but I lived under that false diagnosis for a few years. There is no stigma like there is for BPD and my heart goes out to each and everyone of you. Know that I love you and there is a God in Heaven and you were fearfully and wonderfully made and He loves you. He knows every hair on your head. God Bless everyone❤

One of my closest friends is pretty sure that she has bpd, she isn’t old enough yet to get the diagnosis. I’ve been trying to research it to understand what she goes through. I love your content and it’s helped so much in understanding these disorders.

I have CPTSD and people used to/still sometimes mistake some of my symptoms as being BPD. I also had a big fear that I had it back when I was a teenager because I took a college level psych class that said cluster B disorders were not treatable and most patients in that category would end up dead or in prison, and there are a lot of overlaps on the surface between my diagnosis and BPD. Sometimes when people find out my diagnosis after asking me if I have BPD (which is actually not cool if you don’t know someone that well. Just mind your business), they say ‘oh thank god.’ Like, why does it matter if I unfairly burnt a bridge because of an emotional flashback or splitting? Why does it matter if I unknowingly ghosted you because I am abnormally afraid of abandonment or I thought for a second you were trying to harm me in some way? Why does it matter that my diagnosis is on the trauma disorder category when most people have trauma regardless of whether it is the cause of a diagnosis or a contributing factor?

Even I did it when I got my diagnosis. I wish I could say it was because I knew it didn’t disqualify me from therapy. It was some judgment I had over myself for about 10 years at that point. That judgment made me less likely to address some really scary abusive situations, or fight self destructive impulses (I also have bipolar disorder so there were a lot). Because I thought I was already too screwed up at 16, when I wasn’t even old enough to be evaluated for BPD, for it to matter. My future was fucked in my mind and I just had to do my best to not let anyone get close, which I was already doing to some degree, unless they were really sketchy people.

You got to own it before you can change it! Kudos to you young lady ❤

[itsjustnash]

feeling like turbo trash today and really needed to hear this. thank you

[manda]

Fun fact: +80% of people diagnosed with BPD no longer meet the criteria after 2 years of treatment. 2 years can feel like a long time, but the disorder is highly treatable. It WILL get better! You just need to keep going.

[lovely_bpd]

i'm actually starting IOP in a few weeks and while nervous for my bpd! swear this makes my heart so warm. i have such high hopes that i will enter remission and that this is the step needed to be a better me (:

[thevidnatin]

You know what? You’re right. It’s hard… but I’m sure I can do this.

[allistorkirkland]

And this is why you're a bean. A good person. :)

[Jessie-Hart]

I have a love hate relationship with therapy I just haven’t met the right therapist yet.

[lunr.hze]

I feel like I’m going crazy I got used for sex by someone I cared about and it set off my bpd so bad and now I’m manic and this helped a lot. Thank you
