Thank you Reece for your insightful videos. I have a question.. at the moment I am blocked by someone who I think he could have bpd. To me, till now, almost everything fits the puzzle. but this one thing, I do not get. He shut his fb account down that much, he is not to be found in the search section. Not in any friendlist to see. Only by emoticons or messages he left at friends topics he is to be seen and you can click on his photo and you can enter his account. No one is able to send him a messenger message, no one can send him a friends request. Profile is shut down. No topics or comments to see on his profile picture. Yup, looked with it with another persons account. Have you ever done this for over a week long?! I mean, that's long if you actually want some attention from the outside world, right?
Hiya Reece. I’ve only just discovered your videos. Is there any way we could communicate? I have had a very similar experience to you but my symptoms have improved drastically.
Hey Reece... I have a teenage son with BPD and your videos help me understand what he is going through so I can better support him. Thank you for having the courage to talk about your experience and for doing what you do. Please know that you are helping a lot of people who you have never met and that you are making a difference in this world. ❤
OK this might be from a completely different source than the guys video you’re watching, but if you have any questions on BPD, I can clinically answer questions and from personal relationship issues with a partner with BPD.
35 yr old Af Am female in the US recently diagnosed. Had a traumatic childhood and that rolled right into an abusive marriage of 14 yrs that I finally escaped last yr. I can look back over my life and see how I was having these episodes all along. You described my feelings and experiences to a T. Thank you
Thanks, man, the last part touched me a lot.sometimes i have the idea that only by been depressed ill get my needs met and i forget my psychotherapy.its weird😅
I've had a mental dip 2.5 years ago, which made me unfunctional and I isolated myself for about 6 months, took 2 more months after that to get my shit together before getting back to life, Then I started studying, also worked with a therapist and started DBT as well, I've been in the DBT group for half a year and I honestly do not see how these things can really help me when I am in deep emotional shit, It just seems like these ways to cope are not strong enough for what I go through when things are bad, I always go back to my old patterns even though I am very aware of myself.
Hallo, I am very upset because someone in my family refuses help and he is super aggressive and paranoid and then he splits into a sweet sensitive caring person?😢
Hello, I don’t have bpd, but my, now ex girlfriend, does. They asked to be friends because they were afraid of engolfment in the relationship and I don’t know how best to proceed. Could you do a video on that if you have any experience with it
Thank you so much for this video! 🫂 I hope it's not too late for my relationship to save it...😢 This video will help🤞 and psycoherapy ofc... Without it, bpd would be so much more difficult to handle... Impossible even...
Hi Reece, awesome channel bud :) If i may ask a quick question, my g/f of now 4 months has engulfment anxiety, she's not violent, she just told me she can't hack the anxiety anymore and rushed out 2 weeks ago, we talk every day, she says she's not ready to see me, we never argued, we just came back from a very nice trip, she says she felt alive with me and was happy but feels lost now...I have no clue what she's talking about and wonder how long this is going to take, she seems to see me as Kryptonite and honestly, i was the best version of myself with her. Please help!
Wish I could get out of my Dissociative episodes. 95% of the times I have dissociated I've ended up in E.D. or at the Mental Health inpatient unit. The other 5% I've lost chunks of time, but I'm at home. I agree BPD is so up and down like a zig-zag pattern, it can be insane, well at least for me. Acceptance of any emotion for myself is hard because when I'm happy or sad I criticize my self for being that way and so my thinking process gets distorted. Changing that in its self can create a bigger stress and thus can begin a cycle of trapped thinking, as I call it.
Hi. I was wondering if you may have CPTSD and not BPD. a lot of symptoms overlap. I am a 52 yo with RBD diagnosis from 10 years ago. How are you doing?
Yeah if its hitting a soft spot, could make us feel stressed or worse we just cant feel any worse when it's too much already. Also I used to describe it as my mind screaming a hundred thousand broken opposing thoughts and cant think or feel any one thing at all none the less correctly or rationally. .I cant quite hear people talking to me cause of the deluge of thoughts and emotions and the sadness screaming in my head, its hard to hear over all the noise. They may not be able to focus if stressed all the way out.

The best and most accurate explanation of someone living every day with BPD
And I've watched so many videos
Thanks, man, the last part touched me a lot.sometimes i have the idea that only by been depressed ill get my needs met and i forget my psychotherapy.its weird😅
Extremely well explained for us around a BPD-person! Spot on!
You have done some great work here. Best wishes to you in your healing.
Insightful, educational & relatable content shared in a calm, considered way 💯🙏
Thank you for being such a brave man to educate people of bpd
My tears keep pouring out...i l9ve your videos...😊
Yeah I felt the same way but wanted to express it by saying, " shut up, I love you hate you, leave me alone ". Lol
Thank you for the video :) Its very helpful to see other people with BPD. And i really liked the last quote with the comparison.
Glad it was helpful!

Read atomic habits. This may also help. We must try change out identities
Amazing vid bro thank you👏🏽

I've been through that exact situation irl in childhood so I started dissociating at you describing it heh
Great example
Excellent content 👌

Have you checked into any of Sam Vaknin's work on cluste b trauma?
I went through narcissistic abuse. I had to be like that.

Omg im so related to this 😅😅😅
I cry often and dont have a filter or ego>>>
Hi. I was wondering if you may have CPTSD and not BPD. a lot of symptoms overlap. I am a 52 yo with RBD diagnosis from 10 years ago. How are you doing?
😅
Can bpd cause switching of topic mid conversation with no relevance or connection or would that be a co occurring condition?
Yeah if its hitting a soft spot, could make us feel stressed or worse we just cant feel any worse when it's too much already.
