Tips how to deal with a Borderline Personality Disorder during the holiday season PART 1 of 2

Part 1 of 2 - I will be discussing Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms and how to deal with them during the holiday season. I was diagnosed with a Borderline Personality Disorder 3,5 years ago. I've been in therapy for 4 years now and I've learned a lot that I want to share.

This is my first video and I am a bit nervous and also my English isn't great. But I'm trying.

Look for Part 2 in my 'uploaded videos'.

Greetz,

Bas

You are an inspiration to people with bpd. The fact that YOU are taking control is what makes you different to so many people with bpd. Many cant seem to keep control, which is one reason that their disorder affects their relationships.

Ben ik nog 1 keer hoor...

Weet je dat jij heel goed aan de slag zou kunnen als ervaringsdeskundige?

(misschien doe je dat al)

Je zou er echt een heleboel mensen mee kunnen helpen!

Hi Bas, thank you for sharing the 'what if' technique. I will be going on a New Year's holiday with my partner which involves spending some time with that person's family (aargh, Christmas!) so I know I may experience some quite stressful situations and I'll be away from home for a while. So I'm going to use your what if preparation plan so I can deal with anything difficult that comes up. Please keep making videos because you have great advice and insight :) seasons greetings!

i love the way you talk!I,m English and have had BPD about the same amount of time as you.I,ve not got any help though as no therapies here work,we don't even have DBT.All I can do is read books and use the internet for support - I know no-one else like me!I'm also agoraphobic,anorexic,self-harm­,o.d.often,and have PTSD and OCD!You're an inspiration.

Borderline is hard to deal with! People used to think i had Bipolar but they are similar but we fear being alone and feel empty etc! My workers says i need to find the grey areas instead of seeing people in good or evil formations! If someone looks at me funny i fly for them!

@Groomboy47 I think saying he's not a 'real borderline' is extremely offensive. He's had as many struggles as the people you call 'real borderlines' and to him, what has happened will feel like the most painful thing in the whole world. What I don't think your realising is that with Borderlines, you can be aright and then one tiny little thing can literally kill you, Those people you describe are no more real borderlines than the rest of us, they are just borderlines no one has helped yet.
