The BPD ego jumps up "Wait, did that person just say something negative about something I did? That means they think negatively of me as a whole! I am not this negative, horrible, awful, mistake of a person they think I am. I am good, like me! You don't like me? Fine I hate you, you are a negative, horrible, awful mistake of a person!" Vicious circle.
Wow this is so true and relatable haha
For me it feels like people hate me and that causes me so much pain that I start to split and I get super angry and afraid so I get even more angry. Splitting is more linked to past memories and my brain will start to tell me that the situation I'm currently in is the same as past abusive situations and I have to escape these situations at all costs. I also split with work and start to absolutely hate my job and then I'll start to absolutely love my job.
I know this channel is meant for folks with BPD, however, it has been immensely helpful to me in gaining empathy with a former partner in terms of understanding her behavior and reactions toward me. Thank you.
You’re so welcome!
I find it so hard, because I get a lot of anxiety over whether I am rightfully annoyed or whether it is BPD based annoyance. When, on the one hand, we are told to sit with our emotions, but on the other, we are told they are generated from BPD... how do I know when to sit with it or when to push it away? It is so exhausting trying to figure it out
It’s almost too painful to watch because it’s so accurate but also so healing
I've just been split on by a friend of mine recently diagnosed BPD, this has been really helpful in a very hurtful situation. I've others in my life who are also BPD, so I've an understanding but hearing each of you discuss, it's been helpful for me and also calming. Thank you, for the time and effort and editing and all those things.
The amount of appreciation I have for all of you that are openly speaking of your personal experiences is immense. This video brought tears to my eyes. ❤As a trauma therapist who serves those diagnosed with cluster B disorders into remission & recovery (as I’m the only child and was raised by a UU BPD Mommy) my respect for you all in your bravery in speaking of this is through the roof!!! God Bless you all! Peace & Love, Dr. Jessie
Thank you sooo much!!! 🥹😍
Thank you for this series!
I'm undiagnosed but I can so relate to Xannie's story one bit
I relate to Lena a lot and other times Xannie, I too spend way much more time in idealisation I mean I can get fixated in it and something tells me Xannie may do the same.
I find myself in the vicious cycle of feeling like I have to defend myself whenever those closer to me criticize me. I don’t want to take it personal but I do and it is frustrating. It makes a tough situation worse and a bad situation really bad. I have not developed the skills to recognize my BPD ego just yet and by the time I realize it, it’s too late and I’m almost to the point of rage
Loved this video. It really helps to explain to my partner what’s happening and makes my apologies mean something.
My experience is just like xannies,TY for sharing
my adrenaline pumps and i will snap it takes a lot to get me there and the reality is i needed to have gone left the situation long before i get to that point, um if i had better boundaries i wouldnt get to snap/split?
im interested if anyone splits on everyone so for example, one person does something that pisses you off and now you hate everyone
I was like that a lot when I was a young adult. I thought the whole world was against me. 😢
