The Psychiatric Emergency Room: The Borderline Patient

[2ExistIstoResist]

I have BPD and this made me LOL

[naomi22345]

I have borderline personality disorder and i'm nothing like this....

[jasperdrak]

as a fellow sufferer, this really made me laugh like fuck! 

[gayproud1]

I have borderline but this video was to it's worst! I would not go this far!

[kassandramd]

The video was pretty funny, too. I just didn't find some of these comments very amusing...

[kassandramd]

I couldve done a better job than the hypothetical psychiatrist bc I've had bpd. Their logic is not normal logic. People with bpd can change but it takes time and effort. Being condescending towards them will only trigger a more extreme outburst. I now have an awesome group of friends and I'm an amateur comedienne. I want to become a therapist as well:)

[1986sarahjayne]

This video is shit, takes the piss

[BrendanIsCool]

I -despise- borderline patients. bunch of cunts if you ask me

[gayproud1]

@BrendanIsCool Stfu bitch!

[BoyMonarch]

Most, if not all borderlines are rarely hospitalized for cutting. Your video is fucking ridiculous.



[ChicagoFusion]

These cartoons are hilarious. So totally spot-on when it comes to the energy-draining succubus called the borderline. Pathetic victim-mentality and all.

[TheObicha]

"So if he didnt say that you wouldnt have cut yourself?"

"No, I still would have"

ROFL! I have bpd and was actualy JUST crying from the last video, this jsut cheered me up and made me laugh so much. Ty for posting it, I agree, make a joke out of it, and maybe it wont be so sad. Good luck to everybody out there, and I hope you all the best of luck. God Bless you all, and keep your heads up. And no, your partner isnt cheating on you becasue if they were, theyd prob be with the other person

[ChadC919]

The psychiatrist is pretty smart. i could've never made that much sense with such a gal.

[Smellycats4eva]

self harmers are the most annoying people in the world, so r girls

[endymione07]

@Smellycats4eva You are very stupid. Some people need help and care and patience and you don't even give a damn about them. I have BPD and I say you are so ignorant about everything!

[Smellycats4eva]

omg hai

[HepburnFlicks]

I hope this is an exageration LOL!

[deadlyyellowrose]

I don't like this, I don't talk like a fucking robot!

[sharifrench]

As a therapist in a primary care clinic I see "This" patient about 3 times a day!

[rebba87]

i do admit ... its like watching me :( motivation to get better.

[Theredtail95]

At which point, I would say, "Thats it, I'm writing you a perscription for some cyanide!"

[MaestroBabe]

I work at a psych ER and I love it. I like this video because it's not as much of a caracature as some of the other animated ER videos, and it really does underline some of what our patients tell us what's going on for them. So glad for stuff like DBT because I've found that over the years those with BPD are more cognizant of their own splitting, and tackling it bravely (if imperfectly).

[vwwarrior]

haha!!! so freaking true. I have had a pt. threaten to cut me one day..then ask me to hire her as a nanny for my kids the next. I feel bad for them...but it's tiring to deal with sometimes.

[nateo200]

God..as funny as this is this is what allot of therapists deal with! This is certainly a good way to scare away 4th year med students from choosing psychiatry as their residency....God knows we all need it too!!! Haha bipolar patients are hard to deal with unless you really understand them which can be really difficult.

[PolishSplash]

This is hilarious

[MsBrucejuice]

Lol....Am I glad I only have Fibromyalgia:-)

[cookiedipp]

Lol I have Fibromyalgia xD

[somekindamillie]

lol so funny even though i am borderline. it's nice to laugh at myself sometimes lol even though this is such an extreme charicature. also why would she cut her knee? wierd place to do it..

[Setsunako6587]

BOOOOOOORING....

okay, she had me at fibromyalgia ^__^

[Setsunako6587]

BOOOOOOORING.....

[marshallrobin99]

Sounds like me three years ago

[sweetmay73]

i'm laughing so hard i'm crying...hahaha "i did not mean to set my ex-boyfriend's car on fire" hahahah

[Godlim17]

My god I have never cut over what someone else says to me. I hurt myself because of being me! Not because of other people. Stupid vids, they dont express my BPD at all.

[m00nkie]

LOL.. so true. suck it up bitches, and grow up!

[nrsrchd]

Reminds me of old times at work.

[PastorAimeeColbert]

AAAAAHHHH!! I love your videos! lol

[cmichael67]

my ex girlfriend was just like this. good riddance lol



[Sammylee87]

Lol !!

[WeedPeaceSerenity]

I know people who are seriously like this who dont have bipolar ...lol

[popomatic1970]

OMFG This is soooo funny and sad and spot on.

[swork29]

This is hilarious and unfortunately, spot on

[fireflies333]

FLAG THIS. As being harmful to vulnerable persons. BPD is a serious chronic illness that often ends in death when left untreated or not taken seriously, which this encourages. The fact that this may have been put together by a mental health professional makes it all the more unethical.

[marmite400]

Jeez, I know this is put across in an easy way so us laypeople can be brought up to speed quickly; but I feel depressed for people who have the wool pulled over their eyes by these nut jobs. They should show these films in schools.

[californicator]

This is fantastic.

[cerebulon]

Okay, so I'm not borderline. (checks off list)

[janityy]

LMAO I laughed so hard my stomach hurts. Omg. Lol.

[TryAgainJ]

This girl is pretty high-functioning as someone with BPD, and her thoughts are not circumstantial....

[composer63]

This is a very small part of BPD.

[Anime4Life35]

LMAO 3rd time in the past 2 days

[beaners448]

My favorite part was at the end from 4:20 to 4:44.

[DropDeadCouture]

oh my fucking god. now i'll know how to spot one of these retards. thanks for this video.

[AlyssaQ420]

I was diagnosed with some disorders including bpd. Being in a relationship and having bpd is a pain in the ass. Even when me and my boyfriend are apart for a short while I feel neglected and paranoid that he's with another girl. I never cut myself, but I did have drug problems and tend to use more when I was stressed from my relationship. If I feel I'm being betrayed or neglected I need to ease the pain somehow and fast. I love him, but I still feel so unsure of myself.

[lle80]

Are you taking new patients?! Haha

[Beegees75]

Borderlines should have their heads put in a Vice until their eyeballs pop out!

[RockNRollStalin]

Please keep in mind that this is obviously only a caricature of a typical BPD sufferer. If the disorder were this obvious it would not be such a problem.

While watching this, imagine for a moment that these contradictions would be spread out over WEEKS of therapy sessions or Months/Years of an intimate relationship. The more the contradictions come unraveled, the stronger the emotional response by the BPD and the more difficult their interactions can become for the ones who care about them.

[murphj4]

I was with a girl like this for 5 years ( it's hard to get away from people like this ). It took years to get back to normal, whatever that is. It's pretty tough dealing with people that are messed up to this degree. You can't help them, they just chew you up and when you finally escape they move on to the next victim aka boyfriend. It has been my experience that more girls are like this then guys. I may be wrong. It's only my own observation.

[stupidjunk878]

@murphj4 Yeah, I was with someone very similar, right down to not wanting me to go to the bathroom on my own. It's hard, somehow everything is your fault yet you keep wanting to help them, but nothing you do will ever be enough, they will always feel insecure and take that out in anger and self-harm

[beaners448]

@murphj4 You're not wrong...most people with BPD are females. I did a long research paper on it.

[Groomboy47]

@beaners448 i'd love to read it. I was in a relationship with a borderline. it was the most horrible experience of my life.

[HolyShitsickles]

ok... now, i have bpd.. and where part of this makes me facepalm because not all of us are that F'd up.. i can definately laugh at this.. it did make me smile.. but cmon guys =) YES ok some of us are waaaay out there and even the ones of us who arnt as messed up as this vid depicts still have our waaay out there moments.. we are still human beings with feelings =)

[honeygirl931]

@HolyShitsickles Ditto!

[psychwardmovies]

@HolyShitsickles Well, on top of BPD she also appears to have a healthy dose of stupid.  They're not mutually exclusive! LOL

[webeducation]

And this is why therapists who treat borderlines also need therapy themselves.

[thelastunicorn13]

wow! 

[skiddywinkle]

excellent! Captures bpd in a very humeros yet accurate way. Bravo!

[inuyashafan354]

phycho b*tch

[mamuay]

wow sounds like me !!!!
