How to Test for Borderline Personality Disorder

[younespl]

Honestly having bpd isn't just about shifting moods or feeling angry and then happy
It's about having your emotions be so intense but last for such a short time that you're left with the impression that nothing you feel even matters
Its about feeling invalid about your anger, about your sadness and worries. It's about not knowing if anything you feel is or was ever legit.

reading about bpd and looking at its symptoms has probably been the only time ive ever felt understood, or like my emotions make sense. i hate self diagnosing, but for as long as I can remember my emotions have been so extreme, and constantly all over the place, making me switch from completely euphoric and excited to feeling paralysingly depressed, and vice versa over the tiniest most irrational reasons. i currently don’t have anyone left in my life, i recently went off and started acting crazy to every single person that cared about me and now im all alone. it literally feels like im stuck in my own personal torture, which is my mind. no clue if anyone will read this, but I really needed an outlet.

I hate to self-diagnose or anything but I relate to this so much. I've been diagnosed with OCD, major depression and serve anxiety. BPD symptoms are symptoms I can truly relate to. I am constantly finding myself getting irritated at the smallest things. Also, I'm constantly worrying about people leaving me, especially if I talk about my problems because I don't want to burden anyone. Now I try to keep everything to myself to not scare anyone away. Sometimes I just stare at myself in the mirror and it doesn't feel like I'm looking at me but at the same time I don't even know who I am.

i’ve been diagnosed professionally with bpd ... it’s horrible, hard to deal with, but for anyone else who thinks they might be bpd, please ask for help, it’s difficult and hurts to do but please do because it will make you feel so much better

Emotionally unstable personality disorder, EUPD, or Borderline Personality Disorder as it is also called, describes the problems you experience if you are emotionally unstable, anxiety-ridden and have a pattern of self-destructive behaviour. If you have EUPD, you may get into a borderline psychotic condition where you experience extreme doubt in yourself and others. You cycle rapidly between moods, and may move from despair to euphoria in a very short tim

I've been researching on bpd lately. It fits me really well, almost describes me perfectly. Just that I don't remember or don't have a traumatic moment in my life.

Youtube has a lot of quacks pretending to be professionals, be careful. Also, no matter how easy it may appear, DON'T diagnose anyone (including yourself). I have a Masters in Mental Health and I see how quick people are to diagnose. Lengthy assessments and a great deal of rapport are at the forefront of diagnosis. Keep in mind that there are two main reasons for diagnosis: 1) Treatment planning, 2) To alert other mental health professionals of possible symptoms. These diagnoses are not to stigmatize or label, just a somewhat crude way of preparing other people for potential behavioral issues.

I really was hoping I’d watch this video and feel so unrelated to it. But everything he said accurately described me. It really sucks that I’m out here on YouTube looking up personal diagnoses for myself after having pleaded with therapists and counselors for some evaluation

Why do I have most of the symptoms?


I feel like I'm more than one person sometimes, I tend to talk to myself in my head when in a situation. Think of it as the characters from inside out, but joy is a slacker and anxiety is added.

BPD and bipolar can be soooo hard to tell apart.A lot of people are misdiagnosed because the two are so closely linked.Its extremely difficult to tell one apart from the other.Very few differences but there are still differences none the less.

Borderlines are a narcissists favorite snack - so sensitive and reactive!

The awkward moment that youre here because your date suggests you may have a multiple personality disorder lmao

My main issues are with my identity, i shift from a mindest to another very quickly, in a disturbing way, i can be very religious and believe in certain values and act upon it for a month and the next month i am a whole new person and it keeps going, i am always changing personalities, i really don’t know who am i exactly ? Does anyone struggle with this? I am considering seeing a therapist soon in hope of getting a diagnosis that at least will explain why am i like this .
Ps: all the other symptoms apply to me too

[Imkaciconnor]

I’m here because every now and then I’ll feel like a child and speak like one too 🥺 I don’t know what that means but I’ve only just realised how much it happens

[vitaleonis]

He's WAY too vague. This definitely does not cover the 9 basic things you would be observed for. Not the best for understanding BPD.

[manglethefox]

This video was so helpful! After watching it i asked my mom to take me to check if i have it because i am usually acting like he said. And i actually have it! I dont know how i would have realised it whitout this...

[Blake-iiyi]

I think I have borderline personality because I've been mentally abused and mentally scarred and I have depression and anxiety and so on

I'm nearing the end of my fourth year, I feel like I've been lacking crying too many tears.. everyone said it was so great... but did I miss out, was it a huge mistake...? I can't help the fact I like to be alone... It might sound kinda sad but that's just what I seem to know... I tend to usually handle things all by myself... and I can't seem to ever ask for help. I'm sitting here, crying in my prom suit, I'd be the prom king if crying was a contest, world is falling down, feelings are all around, how did I get here? I need to know! I guess I maybe had a couple expectations, thought I'd get to them, but no I didn't... I was guessing prom was gonna be fun, but now I'm sitting on the floor and all I wanna do is run... I keep collections of masks upon my wall... To try and stop myself from revealing it all... Affecting others is the last thing I would hope to do... I keep to myself though I want to break through... I hold so many small regrets.... And "What-Ifs" down inside my head... Some confidence it couldn't hurt me... My demeanor is often misread... All I wanna do is run... All I wanna do is run... yeah, all I wanna do is run...

I used to get psychotically angry but eventually it turned into agitated depression.
