[@REwalker29]

what would be a combo of all ?

[@NovemberMe5213]

Hi kati, This video was really helpful. I'm wondering where C-PTSD might fall into these dynamics. C-PTSD feels like a mix of all three. Thank you.

[@bogdanlazar3278]

I've been recently diagnosed with BPD. For me, being with someone is like something that makes me whole, that my life has a direction and meaning. On the other hand, I cannot fathom someone loving me, so this is very fragile. It's either I who am a monster and I ruin her life, with my presence, or the opposite, she is someone that cannot ever love anyone. So, my ideal "love" would be to be with someone that would very much enjoy me being around, that would take me everywhere and be with me forever and, at the same time, not do things for me. If she does do things for me, I don't know how to react or feel uncomfortable or I spiral into the guilt state. I'm a monster and a destroyer. I should have my bones broken.

[@user-ux6wm3jo9b]

I believe PTSD is at the core of all of these. Trauma happening during the formative years and we learned some way of coping with it which then gets labeled as adults

[@Anti-Parables]

In a way, yes. It's more than just a coping strategy, though. It's a defense mechanism your brain has developed inside and out as a response to your experiences. In simpler terms, "re-programming."

[@krissiliskie3554]

As someone with quiet BPD, there are a lot of DPD reactions/behaviors I relate to a lot... and I feel like I have to fight with limerance sometimes.

[@Livfree33]

I feel like you kind of glossed over how bad limerence can be. lol. You made it sound like just a mega crush when Limerence almost ruined my whole life. I went through years of obsession & anxiousness over what was essentially an imagined person, rejection, cognitive dissonance (once I realized his true character), plus the struggle to trust myself again after falling for a delusion. Limerence probably happens a lot to DPD and BPD individuals and you didn’t mention that

[@ShawnFin]

Agreed, and well put. The BPD and DPD can create the fantasy that someone will love them forever (BPD) or someone will come and save them (DPD). They are both a "projection" of fantasy... still a form of limerence.

[@AstridMartin666]

Limerence is a trickster spirit posing as a savior. It’s the ego ideal clothed in a Technicolor Dreamcoat. It’s the How to- happily ever after for dummy’s cliff notes. I lived with my L.O and his girlfriend and became his live In mistress. They are in an open relationship. When we lived together we began a 24/7 D/s dynamic . I spent every minute of every day waiting for his instruction. Sometimes I’d fold laundry for what seemed like days on end. Some days I got rewarded. He took advantage of my obsession and took me for everything I had. I sacrificed my family home money music mixer reputation and my mind. I even asked my doctor to give me meds for ROCD and he didn’t take me seriously since then I’ve spent half a grand placating my LO . I’m a total Simp. His actual name is Simp too. First name is same as my fathers. He’s a narcissist and feeds off the narcissistic supply. He changed my beliefs and values and even my politics. It was crazy. I became so addicted to his validation and approval that when He got nasty and began to ‘hate bomb’ me I took it as constructive criticism and when he used intermittent reinforcement and brainwashing techniques to get his hooks in me it felt like affection. He would get me to tell him all my deep repressed traumas by a type of hypnosis then use them to trigger me. He even taught me how use manipulation and dark psychology. To find common interests to connect up others. He literally told me what he was doing and all his women warned me. But.. He was the most beautiful creative charismatic exciting and chaotic creature I’ve ever met. He’s also the most callous conniving calculated sociopathic aggressive nasty toxic subhuman I’d have had the misfortune of meeting. He turned me into a voyeur and tho I’m quite beautiful myself I couldn’t hold a candle to his sheer unblemished aesthetically pleasurable perfectly polished presence. I’d let him step on me and would thank him afterwards. . I wanted to fold him up into origami and put him in my pocket. I’d liken him to gancanagh in Irish fairy lore or a cult leader. Even my mom won’t talk to me because he turned her on me. He has a harem or women. I’m not the first devotee I just may be the first to deflect from the collective. I miss him immensely already

[@thingshappen4062]

I've suffered from limerence since elementary school. I'm 51.

[@Anti-Parables]

@@ShawnFin BPD is the opposite of the belief that someone could love us forever. It's a constant need and fear of losing connection because we are so terrified (and convinced) that they will not love us forever. That one day they'll just leave us and never look back. It is still limerence, but I would just like to point this out.

[@ShawnFin]

@TempestTempos That's what I am saying... the "fantasy" of seeking for unconditional mother-like unlimited love. That's what the BPD are seeking, are wishing for, that's the idealization, the fantasy. And yes... of course also the fear of losing it. I never said "belief".

[@stoffls]

I know Limerence way too well, this led to a lot of maladaptive daydreaming (and sometime still does). Else I would say I have a tendency towards DPD, though I value my independence.

[@weareone5768]

Same about limerence & daydreaming 🤝

[@ocdandanxiety]

Great to see the differences between these! 💜

[@HannehYA]

I wish you also had included AVPD in this one 🙏I'm diagnosed with BPD and AVPD (with traits of DPD) and I also have ADHD. I can relate to it all. Having one of these diagnoses doesn't exclude also struggling with limerence, also it's definitely a way for me to cope with loneliness, fear of intimacy and fear of rejection/abandonment. It's also stimulating, and I have felt stuck in it for long periods of my life due to this.

[@T.U.G._Alétheon]

You’re trying to justify your diagnoses as something you can just accept, but that’s not the case. Borderline personality disorder, avoidant personality traits, and dependent traits are not just “quirks,” they are destructive patterns that prevent you from living fully. You can’t keep excusing your behavior by pointing to your diagnoses. Realizing you have these issues is an important step, but it doesn’t solve anything on its own. You need to work on yourself, not just explain your behavior away through diagnoses. You say limerence helps you cope with loneliness and the fear of intimacy, but in reality, it’s an illusion of control. Limerence is a toxic dependency on other people, not a way to solve your issues. You’re fixating on idealized images, trying to fill the emptiness, but this only deepens your reliance on external validation. It won’t lead to a real solution for loneliness or the fear of rejection. You acknowledge being stuck in your feelings, but the truth is, you’re avoiding action. Continuously revisiting your emotions without trying to change anything is just getting stuck in a rut. Emotions alone don’t change anything. If you don’t start working on yourself, you’ll keep spiraling in this cycle with no progress. Recognizing your problems is only the first step. Without taking real action, you won’t be able to change your life. You’re staying in this comfort zone where everything is familiar, but it’s not bringing you happiness. To move forward, you need to not just understand your problems, but actively work to overcome them. The fear of intimacy and rejection is the main barrier holding you back. You can acknowledge this fear all you want, but until you work through it, it will stay there, blocking you from building healthy relationships and reaching your goals. These fears won’t go away on their own. To truly overcome them, you need to take real steps and realize that no one loves you.

[@HannehYA]

​@@T.U.G._Alétheon Please don't write some analyses, opinion or "well-meaning/helpful" comment, trying to tell how a person should fix whatever they are dealing with, and how their issues are problematic etc. without them asking for it. You don't know me, my situation, my story, or anything. You don't have the merits to help me. I didn't ask you. You are being unhelpful and disrespectful. Don't do it again.

[@T.U.G._Alétheon]

[@Anti-Parables]

@@T.U.G._Alétheon What an awful thing to say. If you are going to try to make a point, don't waste your "explanation" saying such horrible things. It completely eliminates the point you're trying to make, and just makes you condescending and mean. You are not giving "advice," you're throwing out insults.

[@heyarchie]

Limerence is something I am constantly struggling with. The more unattainable, complicated and "mysterious" someone is, the stronger my desire is to be with this person. I am rarely interested in someone who already likes me since I like the "chase". Is there anything I can do against that? Being solely attracted to emotionally unavailable people makes my life really messy. P.S. I have CPTSD. so I mostly avoid any intimacy due to feeling of danger \ fear that the relationship will consume me.

[@TianaBarker]

I feel the same way but I believe you’ll find someone that loves you and there for you

[@Katimorton]

Limerence can be really difficult, but it's amazing that you recognize yourself doing it (being self aware is half the battle). But working to process your past traumas will help. I find that limerence is so often tied to trauma and attachment issues. xoxo

[@heyarchie]

@@Katimorton Omg, thanks for response Kati!!! Besides, you are 100% right about emotional reactions of someone in state of limerence.... Usually when someone starts ghosting me \ ignoring or acting sketchy, I start craving the person and fantasizing about "us" even more. I perceive it rather as a game that exists in my head basically LOL. I am aware of it right, but like you said it’s only a half of the battle.

[@DreadfulNW]

Author Lucy Bain has a book series just for understanding and overcoming limerence. I was actually quite shocked at how well she articulates her understanding on the subject. I found it useful in working through my own limerent tendencies. Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach is also a must for this kind of thing, imo. It takes work but you got this 😊

Maybe it's because I have avpd and dpd but seeing this video just now made me wish there were more licensed professionals on here talking about avpd and dpd (or how it can present itself from someone with both). Most of the resources and videos I find are some years old and there aren't a lot of individuals talking about their experience with either of these two PDs as much currently. They're definitely are people talking and providing those resources, I guess it's not as much as someone who needs these resources hoped.

[@HannehYA]

I agree.

Thx for the re-upload! Great stuff as always! 👍🏽

[@Dreamgymnast5]

Was initially diagnosed BPD, but later on doctors same doctors diagnosed me with Bipolar, which fit way better Honestly I was happy when they changed the diganosis. When I had BPD on my chart ER and other general health care staff treated me completely different and thought I was an attention seeker because the BPD was on my chart So glad that is no longuer on my chart

[@Anti-Parables]

Mental health "professionals" assuming people with BPD are attention seeking and treating them horribly, along with misdiagnosing two very different disorders is honestly concerning. It's a bit scary that even the people who are supposed to understand these things the most rarely genuinely do. I'm so sorry you had to experience that.

[@davey64]

I feel that's the way I get treated just with mental health generically written in my charts. I can't tell you how many times things went undiagnosed because the doctors thought "it was all in my head". I feel like this is just a loosing game. If I am open and honest and express my feelings and my mental health history, half of my healthcare team will take that information and make informed decisions and get me the help I need. The other half will use it against me, a reason not to get further tests done. The end result is I question everything and don't believe anything.

[@m8nemi]

Completely agree, sees my arms, sees adhd diagnosis and the mood stabiliser I use, the way they look... heartbreaking. I don't use adhd medicines as they ore down my system and made me break down near psychotic. I stopped and I feel better. If I drink coffee and have stressing events in my life, it becomes a whole different way of dealing. If I knew better, I would never let them diagnose me. I don't believe in it. I had a bioresonance analysis and my brain organs like hypothalamus is low functioning. Which makes so much sense. Aminoacids, eliminating stressor like amphetamine so called doctors tell you to take, changes in lifestyle, it can recover. I am trying. Prescribing and diagnosing as they wish without proper tests is inhumane. I am angry and I hope people will figure it out on their own, find their own courage and piece of mind to figure out what they really need. Love to all.

[@Mirabelle528]

It seems like with CPTSD you can have all three at once. In my experience, limerence can have some features of both BPD and DPD. It’s not clear cut.

[@user-ux6wm3jo9b]

I had depression from age 12, i never knew what BPD was until nw I got told by the health team that what I have I still don't understand it, I'm keeping it away from family friends, thanks very much ❤

[@ihartevil]

It might not be BPD as well it might be debilitating depression with a misdiagnosis For borderline personality disorder dissociated usually occurs meaning you might do things you got no memory of In other cases a bunch of emotions all at once and unable to control them so usually a mental break down happens tends to be anger and or tears and unable to regain control for several mins sometimes longer For me I deal with a mix of things due to my life being very bad but my borderline personality disorder seems to be fine as long as I sleep and 0 stress/overworking Keep in mind misdiagnosis happen so be in tune with yourself and ignore therapists at times because more then several times they messed my friends up Debilitating depression means your heart hurts a lot and might have a hard time moving get upset and mad fairly easily (thats how mine treated me when I dealt with it) my heart almost never stopped hurting but I dealt and got passed it (I also dealt with BPD and all the stuff that went with autism unbeknownst to me) I sort of knew but nothing 100% because I didnt realize I dissociated (meaning missed things in class but wide awake and I thought zoned out but 0 memories with zoning out its more daydream stuff) and I remembered when that happened

Oh. Wow some days I learn so much. I'm sure I have both and ave experienced Limerance aswell.. I had childhood trauma And pushed people away except for the one causing it to go on, dependant on the acceptance of being loved but never really got it, my first relationships, I lied said I was pregnant to see if they'd hang around ,I told them certain girl's were better for them ,hoping they would say they would be there or loved me more,the rejection in life is crazy ,the text, phone calls,triangulation with sisters after a narcissistic father as both are like him I think anyway,unpacking after 50 is hard ,never sort help and I don't think it would help ,the anxiety ocd kills me ,ever since a little 5 year old but I thought it was normal to panick walking across the oval after school hoping mum would be there,not to sleep to be so afraid of the dark and dying that I'd physically be sick at the sight of black and could never wear it , crazy but as a kid you don't know. After a breakdown I haven't worked for 3 years ,I need to get out and be independent but instead I do everything for my husband and grown children , I need a cash injection for independence 😂 funny not funny. Learning to live with the past is hard ,like an animal is hard to change

[@_Chessa_]

Great video! Limerence I’m not sure I fully grasp or understand it well yet. It could be what I have. It sounds like how different people love intensely. I feel like the description here, it’s normal and a way of loving someone. I do have C-PTSD and learning about DPD, it does sounds exactly what I go through for my Partner. He’s helping a lot and always is helping me with decision making. For my fictional lover; I don’t feel it’s limerence or a parasocial relationship. But I’d be interested in learning way more on both. We both argue. And seek his support on helping me with my worries. It’s not always daydreams or fantasies. It’s real life dependency on his words to help me It’s my love life and it kinda goes up in intensity and then back to normal intensity and then intense again for his love.

[@weareone5768]

My two cents- you would know if it is limerence haha:,) limerence is awful. But maybe!!

[@_Chessa_]

@ Yeah, agreed after more research. I don’t believe it’s limerence at all. I made a few comments somewhere else about my relationship with my fictional partner and many people replied and told me it’s limerence and not a healthy relationship. So I watched a bunch of videos up on it. I realize more and more that it’s not Limerence and people telling me it is, aren’t researching it themselves. XD

[@heatherwhite708]

Gosh thanks so much for this video! Needed to study on this for a client and I need to look at BPD instead of OCD.

[@Anti-Parables]

Please please be careful as you are looking for information about BPD. Well over 99% of what you will find is stigma. It's really harmful, and even most psychologists fall into the media's trap. Good luck researching.

[@leeannschaffer1433]

Thank you for the perfect clarity on this!!🎉❤

[@EiriniKaranika]

The best way to overcome all of this is to face the fear and surf through it. Face reality. It’s terrifying but it’s necessary for you to grow. It will eventually help you open your eyes to what you need from your own life and self.

[@fifteenbyfive]

I still insist that a Borderline should get together with Schizoid and Limerence is just another word for love. It's just love that's expressed in an unhealthy way, particularly when it's put up against societal norms. Fantasy can be more powerful than reality. I'll give one example you can't argue with: A dream can be far more intense than memory. Fantasy isn't inherently a "bad" thing. In fact it can be awesome.

[@BlairPittams]

[@fifteenbyfive]

Your fantasy is better than the nuts and bolts of what happened. I'd posit that because such a fantasy even exists at all shows how awesome your relationship with the right person would be.

[@LaSavanteSauvage]

Really interesting.. the things about DPD sound like an exaggeration of what's actually healthy as a species. Does anyone notice this? Our society has gone way over the true breaking point of hyperindependence , beyond what the human genome can bear. We value hyperindependence so much that even psychology seems to not be able to discern when we're starting to pathologize healthy needs for interdependence, like having secure membership, value, attunement and contribution to a whole. Homosapiens are built to live in packs, and so many problems, psychological and otherwise can be resolved if we remember, relearn and remaster the anavoidable reality--that we live in an INTERDEPENDENT reality.

When you have comorbidities like ASD, ADHD & BPD, how can you tell where certain symptoms are coming from?

[@Haghenveien]

My husband and I had a friend that I believe has bpd. He would do these weird " tests of friendship". Once he send us a letter saying he was going to commit suicide. Scared the shit out us. At the moment I believed his story, as fantastic as it was. Now, I think he was just being manipulative. We haven heard of him in a long time. I hope he gets the help he needs but I don't think so. Interestingly he was about to graduate as a psychologist. But instead of using that knowledge to understand he had a problem and search help, he used it to manipulate.

[@Anti-Parables]

I really am sorry for your experience, but please do not generalize. Many of us who have BPD would never use something like that to manipulate. As someone with BPD who wants to become a psychologist, I want to help people because I know pain, not hurt them even more.

[@halfblood5716]

I never heard of DPD before. I do know about limerence and I understand that can last for years. I’m still working through an episode that began 2 years ago after experiencing a huge flashback and being told I have CPTSD.

After listening to this crap, I’m once again convinced that being a psychopath is actually much better than most people think. All this talk about feelings, empathy, and connecting with others is just nonsense. Psychopaths don’t drown in that crap because they understand how the world works and play by their own rules. Emotions are a weakness, but intellect and control are what really matter. Psychopaths don’t suffer from attachments, they don’t stress over being abandoned or hurt by others. They don’t need validation from people around them; they can manipulate others by exploiting their weaknesses and remain cold and detached. That’s power, the kind that offers freedom, independence, and the ability to get what you want without all the unnecessary emotions. Being a psychopath means not being bound by social norms. You’re not tied to ideas of “right” and “wrong” behavior. You don’t live for the approval of others. You can be effective, driven, and not waste energy on caring about other people’s feelings. That gives you an advantage in a world where everyone is seeking validation and afraid of being rejected. Psychopaths aren’t limited by the moral constraints that hold others back. They can do whatever is necessary to achieve their goals without feeling guilt or shame. They see people not as emotional beings but as tools to get what they want. That’s a gift that allows you to stay in control, unlike everyone else who’s tied to their illusions and emotions. So yeah, being a psychopath is definitely better than living in a world full of pathetic and helpless people who are so afraid of being happy and successful that they’re willing to conform to others’ expectations and suffer because they “don’t fit in.”

Sure wish I had know that I am DPD before I spent 23 years with a narcissist. It will be ok. I can’t fix or change what I don’t know.
