Today’s video answers the question: what triggers the mood swings that you can see and borderline personality disorder?
One of the features of borderline personality disorder that make it look like bipolar disorder is having wide mood swings. I compared borderline personality disorder to bipolar disorder in this video.
But this gist of it is, with borderline personality disorder, you get quick shifts in mood that can last hours or even a day. Whereas with bipolar disorder, you get shifts in mood states that last for a minimum of four days for hypomania and two weeks for depression.
With borderline personality disorder, the shifts in personality are triggered by something, it just may not obvious what the trigger is at the time.
Here are some of things that can trigger your mood shifts:
Relationship problems
Feeling empty
Dissociative symptoms
Memories of trauma
Therapy is something that can help you make these connections so that you don't have to be as overwhelmed by the emotions that seem like they're coming out of nowhere. If you start by understanding that the intense emotions come from somewhere, then you can learn to accept the emotions, process them and let them pass without them overwhelming you. In dialectical behavior therapy you learn to do this with lessons on distress tolerance and emotion regulation.
There are a lot of strategies that are taught in dialectical behavior therapy. Take a look at this video I did on managing negative emotions. Thanks for watching. See you next time.

I hate how one word, one scent, one noise, one second of any memory can bring me back to that rollercoaster. It is so tiring, so exhausting. I wish people had more understanding of the horrific effect of constant mood swings and how easily they can triggered. I don't have a life - no friends, no relationships, no intimacy, no job (also due to physical disability), no hobbies outside of home, no social media - because I'm constantly afraid of triggering a bad emotion. If it weren't for animals, I don't see the point of living like this.

Rage is definitely one of the symptoms that are so unpleasant about suffering from BPD. I'm angry and irritable all the time. And rage episodes seem to be triggered by the smallest things. It's painful for those around me and painful for me to be that person losing control on others.

I am learning to manage my anger because I don't want to hurt the people around me, & I want to be in control of my emotions so that I'll have more mental peace.

Disappointment is definitely one of my biggest triggers, mainly linked with the rejection sensitivity. If I've made plans with someone and they've had to cancel for very legitimate reasons (illness, emergencies etc) even though I know they didn't have a choice but to cancel, the disappointment really gets to me and I often start spiraling because of it :/

This is exactly what I'm coming to realize right now. I've been misdiagnosed with bipolar and treated to no avail. I was diagnosed 36 years ago and only now have the way my life is gone has proven that and borderline is the main aggregator in my life. I started looking inside for the basis of my anger. I've been to prison twice I've seriously hurt family members. But I'm starting to get better it feels like for the first time. I love you just because we're going through the same things.

Any other criers? It didn’t used to happen, but now I’m in a nursing Home ruled over by people who do not believe mental illness is illness and they go out of their way to abandon, neglect, isolate, ignore, HURT me. I have no family and now no home to go to. I’m stuck here getting worse with wrong meds, wrong treatment, all my money taken by this establishment.....no hope.

That man deserves a huge Medal because after 38yrs he is still hanging on & with help I’ve learned you can survive BPD & have a good life ! Just never give up fighting to control it all !!

As someone who was recently diagnosed with BPD just this year, it's helped me connect the dots. I struggle with EXTREME thought transitions all the time, and i truly needed someone to sit down and explain to me why I think this way. I feel like this explanation really hits home for me, as I'll go from really happy, content and proud-- to all of a sudden ravenous, spiteful and enraged... People tell me it can be controlled when I simply cannot do so. I'll look more into Dialectical Behavior Therapy for my own sake and mental health. Thanks Dr. M!

(2:16) “…imagining everybody else having someone to ask them but one one asking you…” Yes. Those imperceptible triggers that emerge out of nowhere can be pretty unnerving. It’s paradoxical that one afflicted with BPD needs others to feel less isolated yet interacting with others bring about unwanted self sabotaging and disorientating thoughts. Is FOMO an emotional projection accompanying the Abandonment anxiety?

Same here. Quiet BPD is arguably even more difficult to deal with because one of the "strengths" of quiet BPD is knowing exactly how to present,behave and respond so that you fit in, don't stir the waters up & keep relationships and meet work commitments. But underneath all of that supposed "high functioning" there is a terrified child role playing an adult, but not actually emotionally mature or even feeling like one. It's nuts. Sometimes I just want to say to people "I'm still basically a kid" but then that would be weird as fuck because I'm nearly 30.

My sister also has BPD. Everyone in the family acknowledges this except her. We all walk on eggshells, but her attention seeking outbursts and paranoid rages remain. It has gotten significantly worse through the years (we are now in our 50's). We don't want to cut her out of our family. Our parents are in their 80's and just want "everyone to get along." They cater to her due to their fear of her wrath. We have all analyzed our own words and behavior to ascertain what sets her off, but she just goes off on us and complains about her life and believes we all hate her. This is also affecting our children (she has 2; I have 1). They are young adults now. They are routinely hurt by her bizarre accusations and confrontations. My son can be quite diplomatic and doesn't let it get to him. However, her children are manipulated and miserable around her but don't confront her either. We have all tried limit setting with her, but that just makes it worse. Cutting her out of our lives is not an option, as the rest of the family is quite close. Would love to send her this video or a book, but I value my life.

​@@stephie8978Acknowledging that she has BPD is a very scary step because it makes her believes that she is broken and not everyone else. However, both side of the party has the responsibility to act maturely and not resulting into cutting off contact. One's action will trigger the other person's response and we do not want that. It is advisable that you shall also learn not to avoid conflict or problems because you feel insecure to this situation(which you too have to work on yourself). Take it as an extreme case of anxious attachment style, set your boundary(not rigid/harsh), understand where she's coming from and guide her to therapy. Once she feels safe, she will work on herself. Triggering her even more just makes it worse. We all should learn open communication and not avoiding negativity rather than expecting someone else to change which we cannot take control of.

I did the DBT 2 years ago and it helped me a lot, even though I feel like I just went through the tip of the iceberg and I would need wayyyy more sessions to be fully healed from the disorder. I am still very easily triggered when I'm not being listened to when speaking or being cut short, when someone tells me I made a mistake when I am already aware and ashamed of it, which makes me prefer to stay alone and do everything by myself. I luckily have enough good friends who knows I will disappear for some time once in a while and not give any news or ask for some because I just need to be by myself, while in the meantime feeling like shit because I am not bonding with anyone while everyone else does. Yup, complicated!

Hi Tracey, your videos are really helping me. Thank you so much for taking the time to make them. I like that the videos are short and to the point. I have BPD, it's truly exhausting, I'm 28. I have finally started being able to recognise when I am over thinking and losing control and able to focus on my breathing or use a distraction technique. Your videos have helped a great deal, thanks again x I forgot to add that I've found telling myself that I'm just experiencing emotions, I'm a believer that constant distraction from emotions isn't necessarily a good thing. I'd rather accept my emotions, telling myself it's just how I feel right now helps. The coping strategies for bpd are fantastic. However the part of bpd I find hard is the relationship aspect. I can go from love to hate in a heartbeat, it's quite scary. Bpd really is a terrible illness, I often ask myself will I ever have a relationship that doesn't cause me so much distress. I find it so hard to trust people.

I unexpectedly got overly emotional and choked up when you were giving the restaurant example. That example was perfect because thats is EXACTLY what I think when stuff like that happens. It’s like, why am I not worthy enough to be able to have a fun time with someone I thought was my friend. Are they embarrassed to be seen with me? Am I just a secret friend that they don’t want anyone else to know about? Why can’t I be invited to anything? And so on...and I get extremely angry and obsess about why the hell am I not worth it but other people are? Where did I go wrong? What’s wrong with me? Am I too ugly to be seen with someone? Why are they ashamed of me? Etc. I have a very hard time not obsessing about those thoughts. So, ya that example about the restaurant reaction was spot on.

Taylor Bew I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. I felt ashamed last night that I relapsed (thats what i call it when i have an out of control episode and take it out on myself physically) but I was proud i fought it for as long as i did. I spent over an hour telling myself to calm down. Breath. You may be reading into this wrong. And other positive things to myself. But then I couldn’t stay strong anymore and i felt ashamed that i gave into it. But as I said I am extremely proud of myself to have been able to catch myself in time and hesitate and even say anything positive to myself for even an hour. I don’t have any advice obviously, but I can at least say that even something as small as not losing your shit for even just a minute. Not acting out and reacting instantly, but even just a small pause before you react...is SUCH and AMAZING feeling! And to feel genuinely proud of yourself for something as what other people may consider small or insignificant...is indescribable but in a great way. It may not happen twice in a row but at least there can be a little bit of proof for yourself that BPD doesn’t control who you are completely. Hope that made sense. And I shared that knowing that even that is easier said than done. And the fact that you and I are still here, being able to leave a comment on a youtube video...and not in a psych ward, hospital, or 6ft underground ...says something too and we should be proud of ourselves for even that too! Sorry I just made the realization as I was finishing up this long comment! 🥰

It made things a lot more clear than the basic vanilla-website list of symptoms most google search will send you to. Substance abuse has blinded me but I'm finally able to take a bit of distance with myself to see when and where things went bad.

I have been in psychotherapy for 5 years and I have improved a lot since then. Once you become aware of your thoughts and triggers you can take more control of it. Sadly for me, it doesn’t go away completely and sometimes the emotions caused by triggers are so heavy that eventhough I know it’s not appropriate for the situation, I can’t stop my mind from the negative spiral. My career is doing really well but I still feel lonely and still don’t have many friends. I am still scared for rejection and disappointment and also scared I will hurt anyone in a way. It’s not easy but at least therapy, my strength and determination have saved me from attempting suicide. I still think about it weekly but am more open about it to people who are close to me. Thank you for educating people about BPD. I hope people without BPD will see us as humans just like them who just struggle mentally on a daily basis because of childhood traumas. We long for the things just as every human being: happiness, safety and companionship.

Watching this through a mood swing calmed me down. I haven't been officially diagnosed, but I'm about 90% sure I have BPD. The signs are all there. I currently don't have the resources to get diagnosed and even though I know that knowing whether or not I have this disorder would help me out in the long wrong I'm scared of being ridiculed, looked down upon, or thought of as dramatic; it's happened before by psychiatrists, friends, family. My mood swings are sometimes excruciating, seeming to last for hours, when it's only been 30 minutes. I can't tell if I want to punch something, cry, or hurt. Thank you for the video.

Drunkcherries, ​ To feel better reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a healthier life sit on a chair, back straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Day or night, when taking a walk, when reading, on the phone, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life.

Despite me not having a diagnosis, considering my age, plus the fact that they haven't properly worked out the symptoms, this really does seem to help my fear of abandonment. on a sidenote, I also experience mood swings that usually do have a trigger, but they're rather vague. I've had symptoms of borderline a while ago, but They're definetly not as intense as they are recently or now, given that I actually can have a proper attachment to other people, Which I usually couldn't, thinking that it was for the weak and such. everytime someone throws an insult at me, even jokingly, I pretend to mask the fact that I find it insulting. I start overthinking about it, which can result in anger outbursts, feelings of hopelessness and such. I also experience feelings of "Elation", which is usually caused by either feelings of loneliness, irritation or hate. During these periods, I might have less consideration for the feelings of other people. may it be taken into consideration that these symptoms come and go, and might return at certain moments. I've only really started to experience the full package since somewhere around February of 2020, but, I've had childhood trauma at the age of 6, which might also be a reason why I experience and feel this. It shifted from anger Issues, to low moods and slight fear of abandonment, which has gotten worse, when more people started to move away from me. Intense jealousy also comes with this. if, for example, I see two of my friends that I'm close with bonding together, I'll start to think that they'll find me useless. if someone hasn't talked to me in one or two days, I'll also think that people might've found a replacement for me. once, my current partner in my relationship Told me about this very friendly person that helped them with suicidal thoughts. I acted out rather rudely to that, which I realised later was a bad thing. On that same day, I started acting quite hostile towards the people that I love and care for. I also have trouble with being friends with other people, because sometimes It gets rather repetitive, but I'm scared to be honest about it, because of my fear of abandonment. it's only just now in 2020 where it really shifted into this Borderline-Like state. (This is not the entire story.)

My advice. Go see a neurologist. Not a psychatrist. A neurologist can use EEG scan. EEG scan is useful for identifying insomnia. If your insomnia can be detected by the EEG scan, most of them would use fMRI to idenfity the part of brain that is disregulated. If this happened, most neurologist would prescribe proper drugs for you. If that dont work, they can use surgery like deep brain simulation (brain pacemaker). A psychiatry cannot do surgery (brain surgery) even though they have medical degree. Psychiatry is a sham. Most of them make diagnosis even not on solid science. If you want someone that truly expert in brain, go see a neurologist. Dont believe me? Google Project Mkultra by CIA that experimented without consent the use of LSD to mentally ill patient. Google Soviet Union psychiatry corruption, where almost all people that against or outspoken to Communist regime are labelled as schizophrenic and their work even as scientist are redacted from public. A psychiatry is the only branch that have legacy treatment that dont have Randomized Controlled Trial. That treatment is called Electroconvulsive Theraphy. It is literal zapping our brain to induce seizure. Its like turn off and turn on your brain again.

As someone who puts a ton of effort into overcoming my mental illness, I read a lot of self development books that talk about how you create your own reality through your thoughts. A future video on this topic would be helpful for those who struggle with this concept as it makes it challenging to accept/beleive in mental illness disorders, and creates guilt/confusion around symptoms & diagnosis (thinking you could have prevented it had you just used "The Secret" or mediated more in your life). Mental illness starts to feel like an excuse or cop out for behavior related to both treated & untreated mental illness. I often spend hours researching and trying to understand at a scientific level if what I am experience is proven though science (ie something beyond my control) while also practicing mindfulness mediation, visualization, positive thinking, etc. As soon as an episode or symptom occurs, an enormous amount of guilt and anger toward myself follows becuase of the contradicting beliefs I see on creating your own reality/its all in your head messaging. Any insight and perspective on this topic would be so helpful.

Hello! Can someone have bpd without having impulsive acts, like buying compulsively, drugs, addictions... Or without having outbursts of anger?

Yes there are other symptoms. I go through the symptoms and this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g33PZZVvbJdpraM. Also people can have aspects or features of personalities without having a full disorder.

Right as you said Abandoned or Rejected A light bulb went off in my mind and have discovered my deepest and root fear comes forth as being afraid that “I won’t be accepted or loved” or “nobody likes me” and that’s a profound belief, more like a programming that I’m not a likeable person - I’m not a loveable person. And this programming has ruled my life for a very long time (23 years!) and I just turned 24 and I accept myself and nurture myself to see the lies that have hung heavy over my mind heart and soul. I pray and hope that anyone with similar experiences may overcome their destructive self beliefs, patterns and poor programming. May we all overcome this💚💜

Very helpful and informative video, your presentation calmed me down thank you. I was doing well and hadn’t had an outburst in a while at least not directed at my family. Happened today and I regretted it. I hate acting out like an angry child. I often spiral inwards with self loathing to stop myself - which isn’t a healthy long term tactic. Now on to the next video.

Cannot stress how much your videos have helped. I've been living with these symptoms and never cared to look up what I might have, but every single description or scenario for borderline personality disorder is me to a T. I now know ways to cope and also work on bettering not only my life, but my partner and friends. Cannot thank you enough. ❤️

my partner just broke up with me yesterday because i snapped at him, and it hurt him because i've snapped/gotten angry for the smallest reasons. i love him so much, and i dont think he realizes the love i have for him because he only sees the negatives. What coping mechanisms do you use , if i may ask?

i would tell my partner that i would work on myself and managing my emotions, but this time i couldn't control it, and he said he was done with me because i said that multiple times to him, that i would change and act right. i blamed myself of course, but also blamed my medication because it caused me to have brain fog all day, and i couldn't control my emotions as well as when im not on medication, but i still would snap at him over dumb things before starting medication for my adhd and ocd. i did some research on the meds i took, and it says when taken together, it can cause more irritability, ect. ;-; i am so heartbroken, i go from crying, to being distracted, to crying again.

It was a great question. Thanks Dr. Tracey; as I've been doing mindfulness I've noticed my emotions are a bit of a fog. I wasn't sure if my emotions would just oscillate and cause negative emotions or if there was a trigger. You were very unambiguous and that's the part I liked the most :)

Dr. Tracey Marks thankyou for creating these videos, please don’t stop. If i could i would come to you for therapy in person, but i live here in India and here we don’t have any relevant help for bpd or bipolarity. That’s why your videos are a lot of help
