[@lifeisgood7740]

Thank you so much for opening up regarding BPD. You are so strong. I have lived with my husband for 36 years and he was diagnosed early in our marriage. We are both retired for two years now and it’s getting impossible to live with him. I feel bad about having to leave him, however, I won’t tolerate the verbal abuse any longer. He never went to counseling. Our three daughters know that I need to leave. Two of them “hate him.” What I am perplexed about is that there were no signs that he had it. Once we were married, the anger and loud outbursts began. By the time he and I went to counseling, we had three daughters (one was mine from a previous relationship. The therapist saw us for about four visits. He then said he wants to see us separately. I went first and the doctor handed a book entitled “I Hate You, Don’t Leave Me.” After talking about it, he asked how ai stayed for this long. I had three children and I couldn’t imagine where I would go. So, I stayed and we raised our daughters. Of course, there were good times but I walked on eggshells most of the time. We are both retired now and I can’t stand being with him. Too much anger. Sorry to ramble on. Sara, I applauded you. You are so strong. And I can’t imagine how fulfilling it is to be able to help others that walk in your “old” shoes. ☮️ ❤️ 😊

[@robyn-mareepenny2926]

Thank you Sarah for sharing this story. I have managed my BPD alone for most of my life and recently I have lost control of the positive thinking. For me, living with a child with a complex mental health disorder, all of our funds go to their treatment. This means that there is no funds left for me to get therapy. I'm in Australia and although we have a great mental illness awareness here, there is not enough access to therapy. Even with unlimited funds, since covid times, the need is so much greater than the number of clinicians and mental health workers. I am blessed to see a counsellor once a month for 30 minutes at no cost. They have helped me notice some of my negative thoughts and change them. I'm heartened to know that I can get better, so thank you for that message. I now just need to dig myself out of this. I might try to grab a larger shovel though as it feels like I am digging myself out with a teaspoon right now. Thank you MedCircle, love the work you do. It's helping me get knowledge that I otherwise cannot afford to get.

[@piousmutilator4513]

I was just diagnosed w/ BPD and I’m active duty military, which makes things even more interesting. Needless to say, I’m going to be honorably discharged sometime early next year. We’re all in this together! Thanks so much for sharing your story, Sarah!! ❤

[@k.t.8537]

Good work on your part in accepting the diagnosis. Seriously, that’s a big step. Many of us with bpd run from it and then don’t get the help they need

[@2ootSuite]

For those commentators who are questioning the lack of help for under-resourced BPD sufferers, while noting Sara’s well resourced recovery, you might want to read the full video description. Sara started a nonprofit organization to help you. It has a website with resources and is available on a number of social media sites. My mother had BPD. I came looking for information to better understand what I lived through. She lost her battle. I wish you all courage and loving support in your struggles to get better! Thank you for your work Sara. I found the video quite useful.

[@brittanymlanders]

I think there’s a big neglect of info in regards to the trauma that often takes place in the home to lead to BPD. This made me think to say after hearing her say she ruined family functions like it was all her fault. Maybe sometimes but not the majority.

[@teenahmichelle407]

I agree! When she “went” to seminary in England, I was thinking “whoa they sent her away!🤯😢

[@arianamooon]

Yeah, it doesn’t sound like she is very self-aware or deeply reflective or contemplative about what’s actually caused or lead up to anything. And this bothers me. Because like you said Britney- there is a huge neglect, and regarding the trauma that shapes our frustrations. And it’s sick that the focus is placed on us and the blame is placed on us and that there’s a problem wrong with us. I have spent thousands of hours of contemplation and journaling and talking. I know a lot of people aren’t willing to spend that amount of time sifting through why is everything so wrong? If I could show you a movie of my life…. If you could feel what I had to feel.. be trapped how I was trapped.. treated how I was treated… then you would understand. In contrast to that, we’ve got me confronting my mother years later about her abuse. And all she will really say is nobody’s perfect. She did the best she can and she loves me. Pretty much a blowoff and denial. But if we could go back with a secret camera and show her face and her actions and her craziness. They would be a different narrative here. Instead, I get to be painted like the crazy one. My “reactive abuse” when I couldn’t take it anymore, made me into the monster in the official paperwork… but the reality was quite different. Thank you for your comment. ❤

[@josephfrantz2320]

@cece that statement is not accurate. empirical data revealed that BPD can also be passed down genetically. They have cases of BPD with individuals who did not experience trauma nor abandonment in their childhood. Let’s not assume that there trauma in her environment unless she says so.

[@elizabethc9406]

[@josephfrantz2320]

@Elizabeth C I guess the DSM 5 is rubbish. Any student in psychology can tell you that the majority of the literature agrees that not everyone who has bpd has experienced trauma. If that statement is true the. How do you explain the people who have experienced trauma and abandonment but do not have BPD. Your opinion has no bearing on the subject. I am interested in the literature. You disqualify yourself from the conversation, When you say something is rubbish without anything to back up your claim.

That’s random cause I read this after I commented and I was basically saying what your saying.. a lot of people don’t have support also and have toxic/narcissistic family’s who caused this disorder! I always trip when people say they have so much support from friends and family but for me I can see no one gives a fuck. I would never want to go to any friend or family member for help ever. that would only make it worse

[@leesakrall6592]

I was raised by a narcissistic mother and a step-dad who wouldn't cross her. I was given everything and a lot of spankings with slapping wherever she could reach. If I didn't complete her image, there was hell to pay. I learned from her that everything was my fault. Instead of forgetting, I can remember as far back as 18 months-2 years old. I was diagnosed with BPD about 8 years ago. I am getting better except for any type of contact with my mom. I don't know if I should do it, but I am now confrontational on the phone or face to face. I just cannot allow the lies and deceptions that it is all me, never her who is wrong.

I had to go no contact with my narc mother for my emotional health.

[@nevadamills2951]

I love that she shared her story. I love that she was brave enough to share to help others understand and help them have hope. At the same time I feel like it was so vague..... I mean as someone also diagnosed with BPD I understand rage outbursts being a huge issue but I feel like there is so much more to it that maybe she didn't feel comfortable sharing? I mean I'm not being negative towards her by any means I promise I just was left wanting more, like a deeper look into it. I was hoping to listen and go "yes, girl thank God I'm not alone in that" but instead I was left thinking sure my rage is bad but what else? I can't be the only one thinking this.....

[@natashamudford4011]

I don't know if I have BPD or not, but I've noticed that when I get mad, it's from frustration that builds up, and I have this sensation of tenseness at the bottom back of my head. This sensation moves up and over my head, and down my forehead. When it hits between my eyes, I start to cry, which makes me embarrassed and mad at myself, and this just reinforces the frustration and the cycle. Do you get that sensation, too?

[@EricKolotyluk]

Interesting... A psychiatrist once told me I had Borderline Personality Disorder, but he was not a very good psychiatrist. Two other psychiatrists have told me I definitely don't have BPD. In recent years, I discovered I was struggling with CPTSD, and it seems that this is often misdiagnosed as BPD. In recent months, I have also discovered I am HSP/SPS, which also explains why I have CPTSD. One of the problems with HSP/SPS is that it can often be misdiagnosed as Depression or even Bipolar Disorder, because with HSP there can be a lot of mood swings. I would be grateful if you could dedicate an episode to common misdiagnosis, how they occur, and what the mental health care professionals are doing to reduce them.

[@single_ladies_first]

They will always misdiagnose you with a „safer” solution. HSP is a fancy name for autism/adhd spectrum. And that in most cases means also having cptsd. Cptsd is not even a real diagnose in psychiatric diagnostic yet.

[@AndreaWKR]

This in an inspiring story. Thank you for sharing! I'm concerned about what my future will look like. I learned here that I will be ok because I accept my diagnosis and I will listen to the people around me who want to help. That is really good advice, Sarah.. Thank you!!

[@MaybeitsclusterB]

Some of the stigma surrounding BPD does come from fear of dealing with the explosive anger. It's very difficult, especially when the person with BPD does not even remember or seem to care about how their actions affect others. This may be because of the shame after having an episode, but it is also very self absorbed. I would love advice on how to be understanding without enabling bad behavior.

[@Dezraaazza]

Respond with how you feel instead of first going after the persons behavior. Never assume, relate to things where you can. Also reassure them of your love and support in a genuine manner.

[@sheilabrennan4481]

Talk about being negative, this story is very inspiring but how feasible is it for most people. Over and over again I hear of wonderful therapy and different things for people with mental health but it cost an unbelievable amount of money that most people don't have. You are talking about a year of intensive group work three times a week, as well as individual therapy, and then four years of individual therapy. You have to have an enormous amount of resources financial help to be able to do that. I wish to God that people that put on these things which are very informative would be , at least acknowledge it, or offer options for the large amount of people that just don't have this kind of financial resource or at least have resources for people that don't have the money to have intensive therapy. Over and over again I hear it and it just enrages me.

[@Kat-tr2ig]

I have CPTSD. Not only is the cost of therpy outrageous, it's REALLY hard even getting in with a therapist (where I live, the waiting list is over a year long). And, there's the fact that many therapists aren't well instructed in personality disorders, trauma, abuse and neglect. I agree 100% with you. Therapy is only feasible for a select priviledged few. What about the rest of us?

[@juliebraden]

@sheilabreannan4481 Who has a therapist they can call up in the middle of the nite or wenevr they need xtra help? A lot of people can't even get an intake appoint w/ a provider. Her situation w/ treatment is a atypical I think. Wen she said she went to her last yr of hi-school overseas in England I realized her family must have a certain level of wealth. I assume they financed her mental health care & supported her wen getting her education. B/c if she was suicidal & getting help(treatment) was a life or death situation I don't see her being able to support herself financially while going to higher ed.

[@Valiant.Unicorn]

I'm glad she's doing the work, and getting the support necessary. Family members of the people with BPD need a support too, her poor ex husband. My ex had BPD, his hall pass attitude with his behavior, did tremendous damage to my life.

[@vonniejellyhead]

Thank you Sara for sharing your experience of BPD. I've never had a diagnosis or quite such severe symptoms but, having listened to people who have, over the years, I certainly identify with some of the emotions and have thought I might have some BPD traits. I've suffered from panic attacks and anxiety and have had depression too. I'm on long term antidepressants which help greatly. However, as you say,one of the most important things is to hear that others have experienced the same feelings/emotions/symptoms to some extent and to know there is how our brains react and that there are things we can do to control these emotional reactions. I've read a lot about dialectical behaviour therapy and the basic concept of recognising negative emotion/reaction and learning to stop at that point and take control and turn it into something positive or at least not go into state of panic and remain calm, has been enormously helpful. It is life changing when, like you say, you know you aren't alone and when you realise you can gain control of these debilitating emotions. Thank you again - you're a shining light in a ark place.

[@BipolarCourage]

It's a stigmatized diagnosis so it's a good thing that patient advocates speak up. When I was in a psychiatric unit, when the diagnosis of bipolar disorder was decided, BPAD for bipolar affective disorder was written in my medical records. Then an intern doctor obviously saw that so wrote borderline personality disorder, confusing with BPD. After that error, some of the nurses uses horrible language to describe my distress such as "histrionic", "manipulative" etc. Turned out the hospital had a massive issue with bullying that several staff made formal complaints. Eventually I made a formal complaint. I received an apology from the director who also acknowleded that I had been let down by the hospital. I am still in treatment for PTSD & my psychologist said I don't have borderline personality disorder.

[@meeklio9869]

Hello, histrionic is also a personality disorder so best not call it horrible language. Maybe you aren't aware..

[@BipolarCourage]

@@meeklio9869 how about not policing people's words? They did use it an insult. Histrionic means excessively dramatic or theatrical. Describing my distress like that is offensive. I don't have histrionic PD. I am diagnosed bipolar disorder & PTSD.

So much stigma around BPD, connection to others with BPD isn't share in general.

[@TmaadHMD]

"Changing negative thoughts to positive thoughts" My question, does this sometimes cause friction with just feeling the anger/sadness? I mean, those are also actual feelings all humans have. How do you differentiate your BPD trigger from having an actual reason to 'feel anger'?

[@daniaroundtheworld1357]

The problem is not the feeling itself. It’s just how intense we feel it, and how we react to it. Most “normal” people can pull the breaks before doing or saying something stupid if you are feeling angry/ frustrated or hurt. People with BPD have the same emotions, except it’s 1000 more intense, and it basically clear our judgment and that’s how we get crazy

[@yeahright3733]

I am 52 and was diagnosed with BPD at 50. I have been in therapy for 2 years and have made some progress but still suffer the same problems for the most part. Most of the progress I have made is just accepting I am BPD and being relieved to have an answer to my life long suffering. The hardest part now is I have anger and resentment. I have not lived my life because of BPD and now I am at an age where treatment will take too long for me to be able to benefit fully from treatment. So I am very depressed now as I don’t have any hope of being normal and the best I can hope for is to make slow progress over years and years of hard work. In the meantime I am still alone and isolated and suffering despite being in therapy. I will always struggle with this for the rest of my life.
