This video, originally published at http://www.treatementonline.com/treat... is part one of a two part series in which a therapist discusses what he has learned about treating the borderline client. Those who are diagnosed with borderline personality disorder are often misunderstood and discriminated against, sometimes even by those in the mental health community.

  • Its very, very hard to live with BPD. Its constant suffering.

  • I think the term "personality disorder" should be changed, as it makes the patient feel that THEY are to blame for being that way as opposed to the fact that they are suffering from an illness. (a hellish one at that)

  • Once I went above & beyond advocating 4 a child client of mine, worked after hrs, paid 4 things myself. For a year her mom thought I walked on water. I was 6 mths due for a 2-wk vacation. I took only 1 week, told my clients & had a fill-in for emergs. The mom tried to call me that week & my agency wouldn't give her my ph #. When I got back she was livid that I had the audacity to take vacation & tried to have me fired! Luckily I had good records of all my service. Later she was diagnosed w/BPD.

  • It's really frustrating making an effort to care about other peoples' feelings, but I feel guilty if I don't.

    Is that a quality of being a borderline sociopath?

  • @rockisbetter Doctors? Heck I think everybody thinks we're insane...

  • The problem is nobody is ever just borderline personality. It tends to come with obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression. How do you tell a person with BPD that over-eating. under-eating, compulsive sex and masturbating etc is bad for you? They will simply say "what else have I got to live for?". And its true - what else is there apart from food and sex that can give one pleasure? No one has ever been able to answer me.

  • Very informative . . . thank you.

  • @doonahhhh schizophrenians com

  • @TheSentientArmOfLife very ironic

  • I,m a bdp woman and i want to set the record straight on a few cliches. I am very sensitive, almost pathologicaly so and that emotional turmoil is indeed not just a part of my life, but who I am. HOWEVER, I am NOT mean- I never said anything hurtful to anyone, not even when i was attacked-, I do have tons of empathy, and speaking of being abusive, it's exactly the opposite: I attracted abusive men because I,m horribly vulnerable and I was the one who ran away from them in order to stay alive.

  • 3:03 to 3:11 .... i hear crying.

  • @arescassell, since when was it a competition? Have you EVER thought of why every single person you've met with BPD have been the same? The brain is an extremely complex organ and even the slightest change can cause a huge reaction therefore someone with BPD will be completely different.
