Everything in this video was on point. I don’t hear voices, but I do smell things and idk if my eyes are being truthful but I also see changes in light and things become a bit too much. The light is brighter and sometimes everything is louder. I have been diagnosed with BPD along with other things that are comorbid with it.
Hi Bethany, thanks for your comment on the video, I'm so pleased you found it helpful. I totally get you about things being brighter and louder. Thanks for sharing your experience with me and the community. Best of luck managing your bpd and other diagnosis. Take care my friend. Hugs x
This was the hardest one to handle with my expwBPD, mainly because it was usually directed at me, which made it hard for her to talk to me about it. I only started to understand it after it was too late for me to be able to talk to her about it.
This is one of the worst symptoms, makes you literally psychotic. I’ve had issues with this, even hearing voices, having delusions that others are conspiring against me. I had delusions that I was being harassed at work. It’s messed up
I'm not diagnosed yet but I'm struggling on daily basis. I'm disassociating a lot and in that moments i become really paranoid for ex. One of the worst paranoia I had few months ago was watching black mirror tv show and there was an episode that you're controlling the outcome of the character and that's real I wasn't paranoid on that 😊 so on the end of the episode he ends up killing his father and therapist because he had schizophrenia. After the episode finished I looked up in my family and I started disassociating and from nowhere there where thoughts popping up like are they laying to me maybe they knows something about my illness and they just wait for me to die. So i was like what the fuck is going on i was in the middle of totally different reality but i have learned in that situation to remaind myself that is just a parania and i need to step away from that by reminding myself it's not real but in that moment it feels so real it's like a bad weed trip except I wasn't taking any drugs. So I went to take a shower and I called my girlfriend to explain what just happened and after a few minutes with her I got back to reality and it was like wtf I where been. Usually after this moments a forgot what happened like I can remember but it feels like it happened to someone else. I'm so frightened of this moments.
Thank you for posting. Diagnosed BPD (& comorbidities).. I love how you explained the paranoia and disassociation. You're an angel. It's hard for me to describe what I go through to other people and I just freeze up without the words. Xoxo super helpful
im a good driver but if i think about my driving to much i get anxious especially if someones behind me then i start thinking the car behind me is judging me on how im driving and i get really nervous and if they pass me i assume its because i look like a bad driver not because im going the speed limit lol
My mom does this. It used to be with work associates, which wound up costing her career. Now she's perceiving threats from family members and attacking them, which creates a REAL problem with that family member, which just validates her paranoia. You can calmly show her evidence to dispel the delusion, and she'll report back to others "he was SCREAMING at me!". She also says "I just want someone on myside", by which she really means "I want someone to validate these paranoid delusions". Half the extended family wants nothing to do with her. Many won't even speak to her again. Any suggestions?
does the paranoia have to be related to the fear of abandonment/trust issues? i recently had a mental breakdown because i felt like someone was in my flat, watching me and it even went as a far as me getting scared every time i blinked. im not diagnosed with bpd as of now, just adhd.
Hi, yes, it doesn't always have to be related to abandonment/trust issues. I had a paranoid thought that a time traveller was following me. Your experience sounds similar, and I was told it was a paranoid delusion. Thanks for your comment. I hope the series helps. Take care
Hi does the paranoia wear off? My bf has accused me of cheating because I took a few seconds to turn my video on on a call. I've tried reassuring him but wonder if I should just let him be for a bit
Hey Gem, was wondering if I can ask a question about whether the paranoid ideas have to be in relation to the typical (for want of a better word) worries that a borderline has? For example paranoid a partner is cheating (because of abandonment stress). Or can it be able to be things that are perhaps seemingly unrelated to borderline? Eg paranoid that a certain food is going to harm you (not sure if related to abandonment stress because in a roundabout way perhaps you were abandoned when you got sick?). Appreciate all your videos! Lots of love ♥
@@poppymacleod I would usually go through all my thoughts and address the ones I can’t rule out myself. Maybe just try to talk through how he got to that conclusion. My husband once told me if I trusted him then I needed to act like it.
Is this supposed to be a BPD challenge or what? BPD isn't entertaining or a fucking trend to entertain others, yes it's good to teach others about it so they'll hopefully understand it, BPD isn't fun or entertaining to have !

3:14 totally on the ball. I totally get this and can give me real nausea! What a revelation to hear some one else gets this.

As a caregiver how do you know the truth is at these moments?

You look like me. It's weird.
😭
I get the most paranoid when I’m switching on my husband
Hi Samaria, can I ask if you tell him your thoughts? My bf has accused me of cheating and I don't know what to do to talk him down

Sorry but where did the girl in this video mention about doing a challange, or that bpd is entertaining or a trend...
you look beautiful!
