BPD and Shame, Fear, Doubt, and Self-Hate

[@jspider6185]

"You'll never make anyone feel bad enough to do good things." Very powerful. Hard to change that belief though, since I was raised by shame-based parenting.

[@Patricia.Pangan8]

Same here. Parents tend to focus on past mistakes, mistakes in general seems like they cannot think of anything positive about me

[@kahlodiego5299]

I was raised around women who over-used shame. It was the only power they felt they had a right to.

[@kahlodiego5299]

-to this day I only feel safe with men.

[@lauren-gi1zj]

Ya, same

[@jaybee1155]

I didn’t even realize what I was feeling was shame. It had manifested into self hatred and pity and its like a black hole eating away at my personality

[@Fire-Toolz]

yea, took me til i was 37 to realize shame was my #1 obstacle. & i’m 37 now lol

[@FlowerUruguay]

They call it toxic shame nowadays, cause shame itself is just another emotion but when it grows to eat you from the inside that’s when it gets toxic

[@lisamarie3465]

I was just explaining to my partner that it feels like the angel and devil on my shoulders all the time. And when I'm left alone for too long, the devil usually wins.

[@stefss6833]

[@jennifermaxine2453]

AS a borderline, I get into relationships with narcissists that control me sexually or emotionally...then I self doubt & take the blame & get angry because I betrayed myself actually via gaslighting. I feel normal around non abusive people. I feel like myself. It's only when I'm exposed to emotional abuse that I feel the need to hide. Because psychological abuse is subtle, we need to make sure what's real & what is just abuse. That is an important distinction to make when dealing with ppl that are victims of narcissistic abuse.

[@DrDanielFox]

Someone with BPD. Resist defining yourself by the diagnosis. You’re more than that.

[@WhitePelicansareReal]

@@DrDanielFox It has taken me a very long time to not define myself as BPD, but I finally have. I see myself as having some traits now however, I don’t call myself borderline anymore.

[@gwenwatson8339]

So true.

[@WhitePelicansareReal]

Isn’t any kind of abuse enough?

[@hyperchord]

Two things. People at large think shame is the answer. They think that if you make people feel bad, that they will change the behavior. Its exhausting. I'm learning that there are more people like my abusive parents than not and it makes for a terrifying world. Two, I make the same mistakes as the people who hurt me. So I make the mental conclusion that if I shame myself, I'm somehow hurting them. I know its a delusion. But that pain was real. Thanks for making your videos!

[@mothbythesea]

this is spot on

[@mystrose333]

This video helped me a lot, thank you so much. I also showed it to a 17yr old who has been self harming himself (and several "attempts") for awhile now. He believed he had to punish himself and was absolutely horrible to his body and mind. He has been 15 days without self harm and his whole outlook (so far) has changed to a more positive one. He doesn't have BPD, but I knew he needed to hear Dr Foz say, "You're never going to make anyone (including yourself) feel bad enough to do good things" This rocked him to his core and he said, "I watched the video and I didn’t realize what it (SH) was doing to me." So, thank you Dr. Fox because not only have you helped me tremendously with this channel, but you've saved a 17yr old boy who used to hate himself.

[@AtlanticManic]

Just received your workbook. Thank you so much for your skilled, caring, respectful, non-stigmatizing, therapeutic approach. So grateful for the guidance you provide, in both your videos, and, through this fantastic workbook. The information & insight you provide, is invaluable. I’m turning 47 in May, and have made much progress on my own, over the past 6 years or so. It feels as though I have “walked out of a fog”. I don’t know if I am one of those people who “ages out” of the extreme features/characteristic behaviours of BPD...or, if I have “burn-out” from the rollercoaster that has been my life, but, I know that despite experiencing an overall improvement, I still have some lingering issues that remind me I still have work to do. Your videos and workbook came into my life at the perfect time, because perhaps I am better able to take in the information, and, have the clarity and motivation to put these skills into practice. Much appreciation from Nova Scotia, Canada. 💐

[@GraycatLobos]

Thank you for this video! I woke up in the middle of the night and turned on the computer, went on KZbin, and got the suggestion to watch the video you posted recently, "Defeat your inner demons...", and it was just what I needed to hear at this time. I'm diagnosed with BPD, and even if after years of treatment some things got much better, some other inner struggles seem to be persistent, and sometimes I wonder if I'll ever defeat them and feel hopeless and like giving up. But you reminded me that hopelessness is my mental health condition talking, that it doesn't have to be that way, and that even if I keep falling, I have to push back and try again until it becomes habitual. That video led me to this one, and it was eye opening. I always feel as if feeling bad enough about a behavior will make me stop it someday, and now that it has been confirmed to me by a professional who has studied the human mind, that it doesn't work like that, it brings me hope. Thanks again!

[@DrDanielFox]

I'm so glad to hear that the video resonated with you and provided some hope. Keep pushing forward!

Not once have I ever forgotten how hard it is for my partner to live with me and his parents can find it difficult too (they help us with our baby) not ONCE have I heard them shame or guilt me for having BPD, as much as i guilt and shame myself for having it and them experiencing it from me.

I'm back again, it's been a rough one since the last time I was here but this one hits the nail on the head for me, I want to die every other day, I starved myself for 3.5 days last month and made myself sick. The biggest ones I suffer from is the ones that were mentioned in this video and rejection. I agree with you completely and yes, I will talk to my counselor that I go to for DBT about these things because I drown in shame and self hatred. I have people in my life who love me and stood by me for most of my life despite how I can be but I have convinced myself that they would be much happier without me. I see myself as a despicable human being who is less than human, and as a result, I can be very cold, paranoid,and lash out at people at times, I see myself as the orphan kitten that no one wanted. And sadly, I am well liked and have great people skills and can be very empathetic and big hearted. But this gave me some insight and something to go on, it's always a pleasure Dr.Fox and thank you

[@slim12345]

What about shame AND guilt. At 5 or 6 I would see the caring nature of kind teachers. At home I would report on these characteristics and say how much I liked those teachers. My narcissistic mother, obviously hurt, would tease me regularly about this, I was often accused of being in Love. I grew to believe that it was shameful to see the good in people and guilty about making my mother so jealous and angry. It has only been by listening to Dr Fox, and others, that I have become able to see what parts we were playing in this and how I became such a distorted person. Thank you Dr Fox.

well I've tried that "say nice things to yourself" but that doesn't work because i know it's a lie... and when i do that i get a feeling of narcissism, wich it the worst thing you can be... maybe I'm to negative for it but it sounds to me like people telling me about my depression: well have you ever tried not beeing depressed, just think positive... and that angers me a lot... now I do believe that for some people this may work, I know people that do that, but for me it doesn't work, because then i don't feel like i'm beeing realistic

[@hashh2019]

Dr. Fox, could you do videos on healing after narcissistic abuse? Its such a jumble that its difficult to know where to begin. Just can’t seem to come out of “using calculated words” and always feeling how the person will react, if i should say it this way or that. Loss of identity, inability to know self-wants, goals, need for immediate reactions out of fear, inability to process thoughts and needs in the interactive moment. ( its like autopilot of anxiety, hyper vigilance, obsessive correction of words, rumination after interactions with shoulds/coulds and suspicion/trying to know real motives of the other person’s words due to their inconsistencies and silent treatments ). Grateful if you could consider making a video or atleast provide tips. I want help but don’t know how or what to change and begin.

[@snow84917]

I just want you to know how much I appreciate what you do, I feel like most doctors I've seen don't take my diagnosis seriously and I'm just lost at sea but as corny as it sounds your a port in a storm for me. Thank you.

[@WhitePelicansareReal]

Hello Dr. D. Fox, this video really made me think about shame in a different way, it actually made me see it. It made me see how I have been feeling so much of it. I had been thinking, is it possible to be emotionally suicidal or have committed emotional suicide? I’m not sure why I picked that phrase, I guess because I’m not physically mentally suicidal, does that make sense? I was just wondering if anyone else ever said or felt that way before, maybe it would be a good video, but probably a highly charged one to put up. Thank you for a great video, going over with it on Wednesday with my Dr. 😊

[@kitsinoel]

No one mentions to when your partner uses your mental illness against you. The person I’m with takes every situation and garbles it up to BPD. So I’m so confused on what’s the good days and next. I’m 7 months pregnancy. And he’s been unsupportive. But when I get mental. He takes me for a ride and then says I’m always like this. When there is good days. He never validated the god days when I loved and tried. And when I fall. He spits on me when I’m depressed. Then I split. Then confused. Then insult him. Then he says I shouldn’t talk to like that. But at the same rule “see your slate like this”... it’s so sick. And I don’t have any money to move out.

[@Fire-Toolz]

dr fox, when my nervous system is so, so ridiculously accustomed to how it operates, i honestly feel as if affirmations do nothing. it’s so deeply engrained. i need help beyond affirmations. i need to continue EMDR, and explore somatic methods, or even ketamine therapy. or SOMETHING. it’s just too strong. reciting rational sentences just have me feeling more angry because i disagree with them when i’m feeling immensely triggered. i almost feel invalidated when i recite them because it’s like i’m telling myself something that i don’t believe is true. i know i’m playing a victim role & i can see that now because i don’t feel triggered. but looking back, those affirmations are just so frustrating. i wish they weren’t. i’m not trying to be difficult.

Anyone who does not (or cannot) feel a healthy sense of guilt or self recrimination when it's warranted, just stay right away from, because unfortunately, they have the capacity to really damage other human beings, because of what they lack.

I find it ironic how psychoanalists categorize these conflicts about shame etc in the same category of narcissism (they even sometimes call it "vulnerable narcissism"), yet there's a tremendous difference in frame from these yuotube videos about shame and youtube videos about narcissism.

I feel extreme mood swing for example I love my mom and kiss her on kisses when I feel that she did or said something for me something good and within second I feel so raged for her and think of harming her cause she just said something bad (may be about my body colour, or anything negative). And I can't control how I feel about... and it happens not only with my mother but with other members of my family... I mostly try to hurt my self or feel worst with slight change of behavior of people. And I tend to think that no one love me or people are just using me. I don't know if this considered as emotional abuse But my family shamed for my colour and many times direct indirect target me for my self talk and called me that I have low IQ. And disrespect me in front of other peoples about my colour or other things that are nit in my control. Shamed me for my clothing style and basically everything about me. I also sensually abused... I can't ask my parents for diagnosis cause yeah they will not do but ashamed me in front of people and most probably call me mad ( thay they always anyway say) How can I know I don't have BPD?

Jesus is the answer to any shame or doubt. Each day is a day full of new mercy. Live a joyful life even with BPD. It’s challenging and I want to thank you for your BPD workbook!!! Best tool I’ve ever used!!!

I find with my body that I need to punish myself due to shame and self worth.

I think some shame becomes part of a downward spiral.
