    Hope and Resilience: I got out of a codependent relationship over two years ago. I finally made the choice to be happy alone, instead of with someone who was wrong for me. I miss her, I miss the companionship, though it wasn't true and was mostly conditional acceptance. I'm glad I finally made the choice to break it off. Long story longer: I reached out to a local DBT therapist and fasted from 420 pleasures (going on four weeks now). I miss Mary Jane more than the ex, but am learning to face the BPD discomfort without self-medicating. Thanks Doc.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you are a a gift to the world. I was diagnosed with BPD last year and I get frustrated with my set backs. I feel unlovable and like I’ll never live a healthy life. This video really inspired me to push through. I hate most TH-camrs, since they speak as if our identity is BPD. Thank you for all the wonderful work.

    I am 65. I was diagnosed with BPD in the 70's. I promise recovery from the BPD is possible.The right help, hard work and faith you can have a life worth living are what you need. Good luck to anyone suffering. Never give up. You can do it. As fragile as we are, we are also strong. We are survivors. ❤❤❤

    Thank you for another lovely video and for pointing out how BPD folks are very often viewed through a negative lens (by everyone, authors, strangers on the internet, even clinicians) a lens that portrays them as "monstrous" or overly dramatic. I can’t stand BPD TikTok or instagram. The influencers who act like it’s desirable or downright evil to have BPD always leaves me feeling more misunderstood and ostracized. Thanks again

    It feels painful everyday having to deal with extreme emotions, the difficulty of trusting others and avoidance of interaction when overthinking strikes makes it even worse. My brain just wants to give up because it makes so many enemies over the simplest word uttered, or by their actions. Too much overthinking of what others might've thought of how I irrationally reacted at one moment, repeating that moment again and again. But by being more self-aware really helps and is a good start. I'm currently going through therapy and I'm hoping I'd get properly diagnosed. My doctor said it would take much time to open up to a lot of childhood traumas and developed core beliefs. Though I already felt for a long time that I have this difficulty similar to BPD. I hope others would understand and get a clearer image of those who have this kind of disorder without any more negative judgements.

    I can finally breathe. I was avoiding a lot of other TH-camr content because it was so triggering and negative. I feel negative enough on my own and that other stuff isn't helping.

    Dr Fox is very honest about the ability to successfully treat BPD over time. As an active psychiatric patient with BPD, coupled with c-ptsd, chronic (unresponsive to therapy), depression, and anxiety, I have made HUGE strides in my fight with BPD Using a group DBT, Dr,Ford's published workbook and card deck ( which I use daily during periods of stress in the related topic field).
    What I'm saying is, there is hope. You are not alone. The pervasive emptiness is still there some days, but SO MUCH LESS and not as bad.
    Dr. Ford, I wish I lived closer, I'd love to meet you sometime, to thank you in person. ❤😊

    Thank you so much!! From someone with BPD. What you are spreading is so helpful and always makes me want to cry. Hurting anyone or seeing someone hurt, even strangers, physically hurts me for weeks. I have NEVER wanted to hurt another person emotionally or physically. I have never even been able to want to seek revenge on someone who has hurt me. No one has ever believed that though, because caring about other people that much (more than myself) is impossible and a lie, so no one can put themselves in my shoes and see my perception. And because they can't see my perception, I am lying. I have hidden myself away in my room for the last 10 years, because everyone else matters more than i do and Im simply a wrench in their chain that makes them uncomfortable.

    I also think the main communication issue between ppl with BPD and others have is, that ppl with BPD hate themselves and other people have never experienced that, so they cant possibly understand (or believe when we tell them) what we are saying, what we are meaning, or why.

    • @glee_again2594
      @glee_again2594 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Never is a strong word. (DBT helps us recognize that).There are people without BPD that have had times of really hating themselves. So many others it may be “sometimes” and for those with BPD it can feel more towards “all of the time.”I am very down on myself at times /negative about myself w/o BPD. However I also realize it can feel like it’s worse than everyone else’s when one has BPD. But feeling like that and reality are not always congruent.

    I was diagnosed with BPD 5 years ago. Since then, I got out of an abusive relationship, Stopped SH and addiction, I have held down a job for 3 years so far, I workout consistently, I have more confidence within myself.
    I got better by being vulnerable with 1 person close to me, therapy (lots of it), self care activities everyday (even if I didn't feel like it), positive self talk and learning as much as I could about bpd.
    Regardless of what stage your are at in your journey just know that you have totally got this and you are stronger than you think, go at your own pace and forgive yourself for your mistakes 💖

    I have had so many turbulent relationships that now in my late 50’s I have come to the conclusion that I am better off not being in a romantic relationship. I have learned my triggers and know that a romantic relationship is too much for me to deal with.

    Ya this channel is comforting whenever I feel bad about myself because of all the channels that are made for people who ‘have to deal with us’ and the most triggering thing for me is when other councellers or therapists advise others that it’s okay to ghost and just block the ‘toxic borderline’ for overstepping boundaries and other behaviours that I’ve done out of desperation of wanting someone I was attached to to care and someone who had previously been complimenting me alot did actually ghost me a few years back for this and it was horrendous and pain ljke despair because I didn’t know if it was all my fault or he was just a jerk and I felt so worthless after..
    Being told he was a great guy by people didn’t help me feel better but neither did some people placating me and saying I did nothing wrong because I knew that wasn’t true..
    Oh and hearing we are too immature and not capable of loving really bothers me too 😢

Right now after extensive therapy for the last two years, I feel like I am in control of my life and am not an observer.

    I agree with you about the data- it never sat well with me that there are "professionals" saying to just throw out individuals with challenging personality / traits... Does not mean the street warrior can tackle the therapy to that individual but the fatalistic viewpoint on persons with PD does not help a global empathy/community as a whole.

    Dr.Fox, this video was great. I have been working hard to heal from BPD and you are largely to thank for that. Thank you for always championing for us. Thank you for providing necessary information to help quell doubts and inspire hope. The algorithm only showed me this video today, but it was timely. I have been in an incredibly dark place for the past few months and haven't quite been able to get the help I need to squash this issue and definitely needed to hear quite a bit of this. When you said that you cannot shame someone into doing better it really struck a cord in me. I realized that I had fallen into a pit of intense self shaming and have denied myself the ability to live a life at all out of fear of being a harmful other because of my personality disorder. Thanks again. I'm looking forward to your next one.

      In order to actually participate: I have managed to cut my addictions entirely. After heavily using nicotine, alcohol, and marijuana for about 11 years I am finally sober. It was incredibly difficult to do, and it took me a very lpng time and there were a ton of slip-ups but I feel empowered to know that I was able to get through addictions that I used to punish myself all by myself. I know that I can persist and become the person I actually want to be.

  • @katieg7679
    @katieg7679 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    This is why I love Dr. Fox because the stigma can be very disheartening, especially for those with a shaky sense of self. I think it's getting better though, as therapists feel more confident to treat these issues than they did back in the day. In my personal experience, 'BPD' is not something to be eradicated but something to be understood, befriended and matured. It's like a misguided friend that stepped in in the absence of a secure attachment figure, which humans need in order to develop a healthy sense of self. Why would something meant to protect me make me hate myself? Maybe it thinks that if I hate myself the most, it won't be as painful when other people hate me or reject me. That's adaptive when you're in an environment facing rejection after rejection. But I don't have to hate myself anymore because I can choose my environment and I can disengage from people that are rejecting. Don't let other people, even experts, fool you into thinking there's something fundamentally wrong with you. You are a person that has struggled to survive in the circumstances you were born into and the more you understand about yourself and your own drives, and take ownership of them, the less other people can really mess with you.

    Shortly before a documentary hit Netflix about an abusive fraudulent trouble teen school I got sent to at 14 (Academy at Ivy Ridge, a big source of my issues and currently my index trauma event) called the Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping. It definitely kicked a lot of these problems into high gear, but periodically I've been watching these lessons and they often give me hope.

    I finally managed a stable work environment and a healthy relationship. But not through therapy. It happened, because I took action and responsibility and it is amazing how the world resonates with you, if your symptoms decrease. However I got a lot of work ahead of me, and might be similar with my eating disorder. It's never gonna go away completely, but you can manage your life with it and its presence is getting more irrelevant. Really trying to be positive here, but that's part of the process I guess ...

    This is so me. It is painful, overwhelming and utterly exhausting. I wish that these traits I have were recognized earlier in my life so I might have gotten the appropriate treatment, and wouldn't still be dealing with this at 45 years old. I know that anger and resentment are not helpful; I'm sure that the professionals I saw over the years just didn't understand it, so blaming them is pointless. It was always just chalked up to depression and anxiety. But now that I am becoming more educated about BPD, I realize that it is so much more than that. And that's why medications have only been mildly to moderately effective, depending on how stressful my life external circumstances are. I can be coasting along, but when something happens that feels bigger than my capacity to tolerate it, I crumble to the ground and feel like I will never be able to build myself back up again. I don't have the internal or external resources to bounce back. Resilience has never been a tool in my toolbox. As you say, they medication can only treat the surface content, but I am still left with my core self. I can't help but feel cheated out of what could have been a more fulfilling life. So much squandered opportunity and potential and the shame that follows. Learning about BPD is a double-edged sword of ambivalence to the extreme. I am grateful to have insight, but terrified about what this means in terms of the recovery process. I wish I could just to a hard reset of myself and my life.

    Dr. Daniel Fox, what is the typical/best medications used to help treat symptoms?

    • @DrDanielFox
      @DrDanielFox  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Medication does not treat core content. to treat surfacer content, it depends on the symptoms and severity.

    Trusting people enough to communicate honestly has been an almost insurmountable problem for me. I am seeking out people and finding people in my life with whom I can be honest with and who can actually listen and understand my core content and encourage who I am.

      It's great that you're actively seeking out supportive and understanding people in your life. Building a circle of trust is important for personal growth and well-being.

    I'm new to your videos but have found them enlightening so far. I was diagnosed with BPD 9 years ago along with serious depression. Looking back, I realize I've likely had bpd most of my life. I've struggled to find treatment in my Province , most professionals here do not even really understand bpd let alone know how to treat it. My question is, would someone be able to take your course and learn to successfully live with bpd without also working with a professional? My bpd destroys my life and I'm desperate to find a way to live with it.

    Yes yes, all those things you have mentioned are great! But how to make a BPD person understand that she needs treatment (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). I told her she has BPD and needs treatment but she does NOT admit it and says "I don't have BPD, you have it. Very frustrating. So, please advise or make videos on how to make a person with BPD seek treatment? I am pretty sure almost all spouses with BPD have these challenges. So, if you can help us with this it would be a really great video!!

      I'm in the same boat. I started with a DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) app on Google. You can't find free DBT stuff online by search. And lastly, I bought an audible subscription which offers DBT books. I would assume kindle monthly does as well.

    I’ve been in therapy over 15 years, most recently with an LPC doing CBT and DBT. In the beginning, he gave me worksheets and “homework” to do but now our sessions are just chit chat. I’m extremely intelligent but some of the concepts of therapy seem totally alien. I likened it to learning a foreign language. I wanted someone to “translate” this for me , help walk me through it and hold me accountable. I truly want to heal! I’ll do the hard work. Unfortunately I’m feeling like a failure because it took so long to find someone to agree to go through DBT with me and he expects me to read the material, understand it and implement it into every day life. It feels so hopeless. Should I seek a psychiatrist instead of an LPC? I’ve had psychiatrists before and none were able to get me into a healing journey 😢

    • @DrDanielFox
      @DrDanielFox  28 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      It sounds like you're really putting in the effort and it's completely normal to feel frustrated at times. Finding the right fit in a therapist can be challenging. It might be worth exploring different options or discussing your feelings with your current LPC to see if there's a way to adjust your sessions to better meet your needs.

      Medication and drugs only treat surface issues. YOu know because when the drug wears off the symptoms resume and there are no drugs/medications for core content issues. Please be careful.

      @@DrDanielFox yes i agree with you. I do not use illicit drugs, though when i was younger i did experiment with hallucinogens. The person who adjusted me as a child for several years would tell me i could never tell anyone what he was doing to me because i would be the one who got in trouble. So i kept quiet till my 20's. It was while under the influence of MDMA that i finally talked about it to my best friend. I felt like I had separated from myself, no longer the victim but witness to it all. Without the emotional attachment to hinder my memory or interrupt the process altogether I was able to finally speak about it.

    • @katieg7679
      @katieg7679 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I've heard this too. Because theoretically people are able to look at themselves differently when they are in a calm state of mind, so their normal feelings of self hatred or blame might not pop up in the same way when looking at their past experiences and they can gain a more compassionate or objective perspective of themselves. Worth a shot I think but for people reading it's definitely only recommended with a therapist there to support and guide the experience.

      That's a really important point. Access to treatment can be a huge barrier for many people, even when they're ready and motivated to seek help. It's crucial to advocate for more accessible mental health resources. Try workbooks, university counseling centers can be good options too.
