I say this EVERY time I see someone mention it... IF YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH A MENTAL CONDITION, TELL YOUR COLLEGE/UNI!!! Under the ADA (in America) they have to give you extra time for your assignments! IT IS FEDERAL LAW! I would have failed so many classes if I didn't have that little bit of extra time, I graduated with a 4.0 GPA.

[@morfeubranco]

Exactly something someone with a personality disorder would do… instead of holding yourself accountable for the curriculum, manipulate your way to easy grades.

[@Bobby_wobby]

Nah I had a teacher who wouldn't give me extra time for assignments. I have autism, anxiety, depression, and PSTD. I have an IEP and stuff. This teacher would never give me extra time to get shit done. In my IEP I have something for me to get extra time on assignments. Legit my anxiety was so high for that class I started to skip it. Idc if it's an honors class you're kinda breaking the law Ms. B.

[@Moon_x_sun]

Yes! I have depression (and more) and i told my School and they want to help me so much. Extra time on tests, someone to help me during normal day to say stuff, i even Got my own room during my exams Because i cant handle sitting around other people and my gymnasium wasnt strict on rules for people who needed help. I live in Denmark not America tho sadly not everone who needs help know about the stuff that is there to help :/

I have BPD and I pretty much just gaslight myself into not being a menace. It involves a lot of distraction and just telling myself “bestie we’ve done this before itll be over in like 30 min” and then 30 min later I’m like “oh bestie I was right” The splitting is probably the thing I have the least control over, but I still do the same stuff like “oh but they do (bla bla bla) it’s just me overthinking!” But idk that one’s hard lol

Not a mental health professional, but have known people with ASPD, and it’s important to remember it’s a spectrum disorder. Not everything is as dramatized as the internet and tv. They are people too that deserve love.

[@huntsman9316]

I have ASPD (technically a sociopath, but I have psychopathic traits. Both are obsolete terms), and adapting to life after being diagnosed wasn't too hard. It wasn't really my choice to get professionally diagnosed, but it happened. When I was a kid I was diagnosed with ODD and then when I was an adult they finally concluded with ASPD. Looking back it was obvious haha. In all honestly, only I, my psychiatrist, and my ex therapist know about my PD. No friends kno;, my mother knows I had ODD but I took her off of my mental health records when I became an adult so she doesn't know about the ASPD. And because of that relationships aren't too hard. Just match peoples energy and everything is fine. Be happy when others are happy, cry when other cry, etc. I have defiantly scared people away due to them feeling uneasy about my behavior, but that just happens from time to time. The negative parts of ASPD like the aggression, narcissism, irritability, etc definitely gets in the way sometimes. That's why I actually tried getting a therapist (many people with ASPD don't). If I want to live in society then I’d need to learn. I'm still iffy with it, but I will say I am MUCH better than I was when I was a kid. Kid me had ZERO mask. Parents knew something was wrong with me and tried to make their kids avoid me. luckily for me I was funny and the kids my age loved hanging out with me.

[@jayzepickle6637]

Honestly as someone with BPD I had clicked on this video excited to hear about people's happiness. And though it's nice to hear how well people are doing in spite of everything I can't help but feel sad and jealous of them. I think for many people with BPD we feel a deep down sense of emptiness and worthlessness. I find it incredibly hard to feel loved by people even when surrounded by people who genuinely love me. The concept of having someone and knowing they love you unconditionally and sticking with you through everything feels like a far off idea to me. Like I never deserve to have that. I push people away easily because I don't believe them when they say they care about me. It's my own fault I wish I could feel secure and loved someday like these people do.

[@Pvppy_dr3amz]

I have BPD. Life is extremely hard but I think the hardest part is watching your loved ones suffer and close themselves off from you and see you as a danger. Knowing I did that makes me want to throw up and lock myself away. Therapy and accountability is important with these disorders especially cluster B. Don't continue the cycle of abuse.

[@lmaChroma]

Knowing what wires are crossed in your brain is so incredibly helpful in learning what you need to live a mostly normal/comfortable life

[@hazelgrunts]

I’ve been diagnosed with autism, ADHD, depression, and multiple types of anxiety. Therapy and medication have helped me a lot, and I’m able to go to an alternative high school to finish my base education as it’s hard for me to cope in a normal school environment. Getting these diagnoses was so relieving, as before I got them I just beat myself up for “being weird and antisocial”. I wouldn’t be surprised if I end up getting diagnosed with a personality disorder like Borderline or Bipolar because they run in the family and I’ve exhibited some traits of Borderline. I can’t be truly evaluated for it until I’m a legal adult though because professionals are reluctant to diagnose minors.

[@Genni4862]

Autism, adhd and bpd have a lot of overlap- its entirely possible you have traits of borderline, without BEING a borderline. And as someone who spent years trying to be diagnosed, no one wants to diagnose adults either. Good luck if you think you're suddenly gonna get a diagnosis by becoming an adult. Took me years and years. Also, borderline is diagnosed in teens plenty often, so there's really no need to wait.

[@r.brooks5287]

I'm Asperger, I have some Bipolar traits but not diagnosis level. As Genni put there's lots of overlap. If you're not on any autism forums think of joining one so you can discus with Autistics who are Bipolars, BPDs and those like me who just have traits so you can see if a diagnosis would help or distract you. Good luck.

[@Glittertrut]

As a person with more then 1 personality disorder, ones of them being BPD, sometimes the world can be hard.

[@ggenderking5609]

I have severe ADHD like the person in Story 7, sadly in my case it is so bad that meds just make me barely functional, i still can't follow any schedules or use paper trail methods because once i get pen and paper ready, i forget what i wanted to write down,

[@indigolarsen3191]

Yeah, that sounds really bad… I have ADHD as well (don’t worry, I’m not the “suck it up! If I can do it so can you!”-type. Not that I can do a lot, but still😅). Have you maybe tried looking into whether you might have some comorbid condition(s), that might be making it worse? For example PTSD can look a lot like ADHD, and people are sometimes misdiagnosed ADHD, when really it’s PTSD, but that also means that it can sometimes get overlooked if you have both. Also between 30-50% of people with ADHD are also autistic, which can present some unique challenges. Anyways, you might want to look into that😊

[@huntsman9316]

More of a mental disorder than a PD. Curious if people truly know what PDs are

[@hamstersdailylife4938]

To be in a country where the doctor will diagnose a personality disorder for you, that alone is quite a privilege and a success story in my opinion.

[@ourcavedinribs]

listening to others talk about getting better with bpd makes me feel much safer within my diagnosis and is a good reminder than i am on the right track

[@ikmkr]

story 5, hey, psst, original op? you’re not alone. i’ve felt like that nearly every day of my life. the way you described it was as if you could hear my thoughts. you’re not in the wrong for feeling like this, and wanting to erase the Constant Loneliness is a valid desire. stay strong, alright? there’s so much more to life than just The Loneliness. and you’re human, too.

[@zoelawrence568]

For anyone who's reading this that needs to hear it - I have BPD and at 33 I basically consider myself fully in remission. Admittedly I encounter a lot fewer triggers now because of other aspects of my life (not able to work, blissfully single after getting out of a unwanted marriage) and I'm not fully symptom free (my adrenaline still spikes like crazy, partially due to my physical illness), but it's still a WORLD of difference. I can set boundaries, self sooth, not fear abandonment, be alone without loneliness, trust my own perceptions of the world, tell people to bog off when I need time to my self, assert myself when my needs are being ignored, etc. My baseline mood is stable enough I can actually name and identify the source of emotions when they come up. I've even learned how to give my empathetic kindness only to those who actually deserve it (every human gets my cognitive empathy whoever they are, but my heart is now only for those who treat me well and BENEFIT me), and how to withdraw it as needed when someone starts to throw up red flags.

[@vieravrem6810]

As interesting as this list turned out many of the mental health issues presented were not the ones asked for. Like ADHD, definitely not a personality disorder. 😅

[@ihaveseverefrootsnackism]

ADHD as it stands is not a personality disorder. I guess there is actually potential for some middle ground though, if you will. I was listening to a Dr. K stream literally just today and apparently there's been some research about an emotional dysregulation subtype of ADHD, seeing as it primarily affects the frontal lobe (which is responsible for emotional regulation). I guess even if it in and of itself did not qualify as a personality disorder, I could see how there might also be some comorbidity with a personality disorder. Perhaps it increases the risk? idk xd

[@xyZer0_]

I'm not diagnosed yet, but I have symptoms of BPD and NPD which I'm working on. So far my self esteem improved which makes my symptoms get triggered less often. I would get so angry and toxic if I perceived anything to mean that person doesn't care about me or would leave me, even though I logically knew that's untrue. I was also selfish and had way too high expectations of how my loved ones should treat me. I wasn't intentionally like this. I'm just deeply traumatized and had no idea how to cope in a healthy way. I didn't choose my trauma response but I'm choosing now to get better

[@SorenBoBoren]

Hey!! I have BPD and NPD so if you need any advice or resources I'm happy too provide! I completely relate to this experience and it's cool to find someone in the comments talking about NPD in a non-demonizing way

[@xyZer0_]

@@SorenBoBoren Thank you so much! I honestly just wish I could get a diagnosis. Finding a professional is already hard enough, but finding someone who also is educated on personality disorders beyond BPD is like finding a rice corn on the beach. And of course, people with NPD deserve just as much help as anyone else. Yes, untreated it often causes unhealthy and toxic behavior which the person needs to take accountability for, but they didn't choose to have this. The same way someone didn't choose to develop any other disorder, so if they deserve help, so do disorders that cause negative behavior

[@JigsawSaysHello]

I have OCPD and Avoidant Personality Disorder. I never thought anything was "wrong" with me until my psychiatrist took notice of patterns I always dismissed as normal for someone with anxiety and depression. My need for perfection, the way I take control of everything because others can't do it right so I needed to do everything myself, my fear of failure, my emotional withdrawal when I lose control, harsh internal criticism, the way I avoid emotional connection out of fear, intense fear of rejection, really bad self-esteem, etc.

Somewhat understandably, she quickly rejected the idea and insisted I did too. She is diagnosed ADHD, but often rejects any and all "labels", so I don't see any chance of her changing.

Still havent found a Psychiatrist, no drive aymore to keep looking for the next while as i only found people already too busy or unwilling because previous diagnosises and stuff. Its demoralizing. To be fair i currently dont have much of a drive for anything, so mostly going through the basic self maintaining motions and doing what i so do when i dont feel up to anything atall. Atleast my friend is here again more frequently, to push me to do something (on my own request). I may have no motivation, but i as myself exist in a strong seperation between body and mind afterall. That and a more severe disasociative episode, may be a contributing factor to the lacking drive and the loads more typos i am fixing as i type this. Its really frustrating. Prolly.

As someone with BPD I would say so. We tend to project our suffering onto others to avoid facing it ourselves. Emotional punching bag you can say. People with BPD who are single are usually suffer way more the BPD people who have partners.

Sure, keep acting like personality disorders don't stem from trauma. I bet you don't have it, so how would you know how much they suffer?

[@Dae_Tripping]

do you even understand the base of how bpd develops? people with bpd generally suffer a LOT, and disregarding that is toxic and plainly wrong

[@Glittertrut]

excuse me? As a person with bpd i don't agree on this. Yes we can be a pain on others without the proper treatment and help, but oh wait how did bpd come into my life at the first place... yeah.. stigmatize us more. ffs

@@xyZer0_ I have Borderline Personality disorder and PTSD. My life was pretty sad and traumatizing but I also put my friends and romantic partners through hell because I refused to do therapy and heal myself and became an childish, unfaithful, emotionally abusive, violent junkie loser. Trauma isn't an excuse to be horrible to people and traumatize them. I learned the hard way now I have nobody and I'm trying to take accountability and be a better person instead of playing the victim. I'll admit I can't speak for everyone with the disorder it's a septrum but from my experience with other pwbpd we are absolutely obnoxious untreated. I know we suffer I understand BPD is Terrible but imagine how horrible it is for the loved ones who want nothing more then to love this mentally ill person and fix them but all they are met with is abuse and chaos it can absolutely destroy a person. We aren't evil people we are just extremely mentally ill and unpredictable and can hurt the people around us even if we don't mean to. It's sad but it's our job to fix it.

BPD here-I take mood stabilizers and if I’m having a particularly mood swing-y day, I call in sick. Also the acronym HALT-stop and ask yourself “am I hungry, angry, lonely, or tired?” and when you identify which one, fix it lol. I USED TO smoke a lot of weed, but recently had to cut that out bcuz of an interaction with my new anxiety med, sooooooo the symptoms have been a little extra hard to deal with lately 😅 just being patient with myself. Letting myself play Minecraft and listen to Reddit stories all evening instead of pushing myself to be as productive as possible.
