I still don't really understand what's wrong with this person? Seems just like a regular person who is quite driven to box.
I don't understand what's wrong with MYSELF either, appart from the fact that I think about killing myself a lot of the time and all that stuff and I never want to see anyone, but is there really anything wrong with wanting to die?
After watching this video, I still didn't fully understand what BPD is. The video makes it seem like just an intense depression. I'm sure that's not all it is. It's just that I don't think the video particularly helped. Could someone please help me understand?
Firstly it helps not to see BPD as one side of the fence and non BPD the other. There is no fence. Secondly it is rumored that the term BPD is being phased out of DSM V when it is released, along with a few other "disorders" and being replaced by "Emotional Dysregulation". Although it has been pointed out that the term dysregulation suggests it was something that was once regulated, yet is no longer regulated, and this is not entirely accurate. (cont ...)
(cont ...) I still think "Emotional Dysregulation" is more accurate than Borderline Personality Disorder. Emotions originate from our mammalian brain; the limbic system, yet our "Human Brain"'; the cortex, especially the prefrontal cortex evolved to control and regulate our mammalian emotions in order to better fit in to the societal environment. For people with BPD, and to some extent NPD, Bipolar and even Autism, the development of the necessary (cont...)
(cont ...) Connections between the prefrontal cortex and the limbic system were curtailed or interrupted in development. Some people point to genetic predispositions, but many more hold environment and experience during development as the primary causative factor. Essentially you have a maladaptive emotional response to perceived danger and a maladaptive emotional perception of danger that causes dissonance in the brain, (cont...)
which in turn causes destructive coping strategies that can involve causing harm to one’s self or to others (the mammalian brain inappropriately seeing them as a threat or danger that needs responding to and the prefrontal cortex is unable to regulate that perception and response).
amanda, your video really touched me and brought me to tears, it was amazing hearing your story. i haven't been diagnosed with bpd but i think i might "have" it and watching this video was like watching myself from an outside perspective. us--people who struggle with mental problems like bpd--we're special and we have so much to offer the world :]
I think this is one of the reasons that I escalate things with my boyfriend sometimes, even though I'm thinking, "Stop! What are you doing? You don't mean what you're saying. You're not going to break up with him, etc., etc." He and I talk a lot, so he knows this is something that I'm working on. He also has some mental health issues--dx'd Bipolar, but he thinks he might also have BPD symptoms, himself. Great video!! I have seen it before, so perhaps I have commented on it already.
This is a DISorder? I didn't know that. Someone confronts me, I can never tell what I am going to do to someone either, though I've never run away crying. I liken myself to being more like a wild, totally unpredictable animal.
Thank you so much for this video, last night, I placed a plastic bag over my head, and wanted and wished I took pills and kept it over my head until I pass out and die. Your video helped, thanks.

@happyorangeanimation Not at all. I think it just means you need to find something in life worth living for.

Great video, thank you very much. I have added your video to my list of documentaries of those with BPD on my own channel.
I myself suffer with Borderline Personality Disorder, and only recently have started taking it seriously, and am seeking counseling.
I wish you the best luck to you and God-speed in your recovery!
