BPD Criteria #9 - transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms

transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms

Borderline Personality Disorder is quite often diagnosed instead of or along with Biploar II.

Criteria:

1. frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment. Note: Do not include suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in Criterion 5.

2. a pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation

3. identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self

4. impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating). Note: Do not include suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in Criterion 5.

5. recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior

6. affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days)

7. chronic feelings of emptiness

8. inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights)

9. transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms

I've never met/seen anyone else with a similar issue. Im an aggoraphopic to the point I dont leave the house much anymore and I have disasociative seizures. Basically, when I get around ppl I space out, I cant connect with whats going on around me, it feels like Im in another dimention or something. Anywho, I just wanted to thank you for uploading this cuz its good to know someone else can relate. Gives me something to connect to, ya know? So thank you. :)

This why I made the video, to connect with others like myself, and to show others we are not alone, keep on coping.

Wow!!!Just discovered this. Amazing. Thank YOU so much for posting these videos. I am so glad that you took the time to create and post these very concrete explanations of BPD for others. I am unfortunately dealing with a close person who might have BPD. It is SO HELPFUL to have your real explanation. Thanks very much.

[thecrackwalker]

You are so welcome. I am glad to share my life with others so help combat this dreadful affliction

[bbhwana]

Thank you for this. I do love you and may God bless you for being so open. This is a difficult condition. I want to tell you that you are NOT bad! Your video reminds me of someone that I love VERY VERY much. How can I help? What can I do? Sometimes I am scarred.. Help me to understand. Please!

[thecrackwalker]

You just need to support your friend when they need a shoulder or an ear. Don't be judgemental. a sharp word or a cruel look ever so minute might be seen as something very ,very bad.

I have done that disassociative thing for as long as I can remember, it's weird though now that I live alone, I can go get milk for an example and it's stressful and the whole time it's like a dream and when I get home I think to myself sometimes out loud, did that really happen and where am I. Why am I coming in and taking my shoes off, then I shake my head and there is stress.

Yikes,
