“I’m angry this keeps happening.” Naming the emotion feels freeing.

How does this look with adhd

Super helpful

I guess I didn't know why I kept forgetting 🤔 never heard this term ty

And I'm the same way you and I and a few others are the very few of the few, and if they were all open-minded enough to see themselves be aware of themselves and want to correct the fault that isn't ours, but it is our responsibility the world would be a lot better place, with less betrayers, liars, manipulators, bullies, and dominating straight up assholes.

Very accurate!

Good illustrations. My daughter gets like that. The raging is terrifying

Oh these are all me 😅

While a person can suffer from certain symptoms of mental health disorders unless they meet full criteria they are not suffering to the extent that is meant to be considered a disorder. That does not mean that a person may not need assistance in overcoming the problems that are present.

I feel so seen

How is all this different than Bipolar II…?

Facts, I've accepted this a little. Still upsets me. What seems harder is getting others in my life to understand that if I'm suffering from an episode again it doesn't mean I wasn't trying hard enough or that I'm not committed to my recovery.

I struggle with support system so it's so hard when I try to fact check or try to vent or reach out my "people" tend to disengage due to my intensity, personalize my feelings and it ends up causing lots of fights. I also experience expecting others to be sensitive and then getting upset that they didn't remember that I get triggered in those ways.

Its true but at least we can say we fully experience emotions in life 🎉 better than not having any!

I dig the commitment!

The tats on happiness and boredom are beautiful ❤

Dang. I was just telling my friend how it’s not all bad and they agreed, this was a really good way of showing the way it can feel.

The BIG PICTURE is CRITICAL here. Most people experience intense emotions at times. It’s not that people with borderline personality disorder feel emotions that others don’t; it’s that those with BPD typically feel emotions more easily, more quickly, and more intensely. They also struggle more to return to baseline compared to the average person. So, what might be upsetting for someone else could be absolutely devastating for someone with BPD, and take longer to recover from. It’s also important to note that not everyone with BPD will express emotions in the same way. Our purpose with this video is to highlight the difference in the intensity of emotions compared to everyday experiences, which we can best convey through large physical behaviors. However, there are many people with BPD who experience intense emotions but are skilled at masking them. What is emotional instability like for you? Drop a comment to share your experience!

I always over share 🙄 ugh

Splitting on people is common for me. When I first meet a new friend I tend to idealise, put them on a pedestal and later when I see flaws, I want to block them! Now, am cautious. When I meet new people, I go slow and tell myself' I don't know a lot about this person yet and they haven't shown me their whole character yet'. So, there is no need to idealise and then suffer later.

I subscribed to this channel because my wife has BPD and I’m trying so hard to make things work. Hearing you all speak has given me perspective and I will watch more of your content but is there any advice or wisdom you can offer when it comes to being in a relationship with someone who has BPD? A sort of “things that help” and “things that don’t” perhaps. As all of you I’m sure are aware, it really is a struggle for both me and her. We’ve been married for 7 years, I’m 33 and she’s 30. We have 4 kids together and I feel that the strain in our relationship is affecting them. I know this is like at least a month old video but the few videos I’ve seen of yours have been quite insightful so I really hope to hear back from you.

I got one of those TikTok pop it things and MAN DOES IT HELP

Then yall go avoidant after all that

❤

If ur girl doesnt do this to you...is she even ur girl?😅

Yep we sure are, we don't feeling like doing the majority of what we do. But it has to be done. We aren't comfortable with manipulating others to do what we need to do/should be doing.

You forgot the part where they split and tell you that you’re the worst thing in the world

tipp

You all have no idea how much I needed this. 😢 This validates everything I've been feeling. Thank you.

Wow I'm a Fan needed this💜🌈🦋

Yet around a Bunch of people & it Hits I have too 🦋

During ‘splitting’ do your partners ever say they don’t love you? If so does the BPD mean it?

Thanks to all of you💙💯🦋😃yes the emptiness

Just got callous your mind and push your own boundaries as to what is and what isn’t acceptable in order to grow. Eg; not wanting to workout but we know we have to in order to stay healthy bc you already went to the dr and they said that if you don’t you can get diabetes.

Example i say even devil on my shoulder dont know wht might come out of my mouth till it does

I been tru crazy shit but like she said i was off before.

Ughhh me rn... so much has happened this past week and I just wanna prove I can use my skills

You got this 😅

On point 😢

Btw, can someone explain the blankie thing?

I have BPD ofcourse I have an identity crisis every week

Yep! Just found out that I'll know in 30 days if I am in the 7% of people at my company to be laid off. Focusing on my zone of control, staying mindful, and practicing thought re-framing to avoid fortune telling and catastrophizing 🧘‍♂️

You described the pain and the way it affects your ability to see anything else perfectly

It's fairly simple really. People without cluster b disorders usually understand the future consequences of the actions.

not to be too emotional lols but this video made me smile so big to hear all of your lovely answers, and really restored my hope in still feeling happiness even with how negative having bpd can feel. thank you for inspiring me to write my own love list!! <3 the bpd bunch is definitely gonna be on my list :)

I’d run

My go to thought has always been "I want to open your chest up and crawl inside of you so I can feel your heart beating right next to me. Then I'll be close enough" 😂 It's good for younger BPD people can see it's not only them that have feelings like this and all the others. In the 90s and early 2000s so many thought that they were they only ones. Felt so isolated, alone and misunderstood. Maybe they'll learn how to love and accept themselves years or even decades sooner than GenX and Boomer BPDs were able to, if they ever were.

Wow, what an experience! I’m so sorry you went through that. You must be very strong.

Were "special" we have initials😮.
