What Is Borderline Personality Disorder?

Symptom of BPD may include:

  • An extreme dread of being abandoned—going to extremes to avoid perceived or real separation.
  • A history of intense, unstable relationships—often wavering between idealizing an individual and believing they are cruel.
  • Quickly changing between identities—shifting one’s values, goals, and perceptions easily.
  • Experiencing periods of paranoia wherein people lose touch with reality—these can last for minutes or hours.
  • Feeling tender about criticism and rejection.
  • Engaging in risky and impulsive behaviors that put themselves in danger—gambling, daredevil driving, drug use, unsafe sex, self-sabotage, spending sprees, binge eating, and more.
  • Threatening or attempting self-injury or suicide—particularly when afraid of rejection, or criticism.
  • Swinging between emotional extremes: irritability and happiness, anxiety and euphoria, et cetera.
  • A continuing feeling of emptiness.
  • Outbursts of anger or being belligerent—lost temper, sarcasm, bitterness, and more.

How Does BPD Develop?

There are several things that can raise an individual’s risk of developing BPD including environmental, social, genetic, and physical risk factors such as:

  • A history of childhood trauma (particularly emotional, sexual, or physical abuse by a caregiver).
  • A genetic history of BPD
  • A reduced hippocampus size (region of the brain that regulates stress responses and emotion).
  • Death of a caregiver as a child.

Treatment for BPD

There are a number of treatments available to those with BPD There is no cure, but there are ways to manage the mental illness, and often, people who seek treatment experience improvement in their daily life. It may be important to work with a mental health professional who can personalize a treatment plan, but often, that treatment plan involves a form of therapy called dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

Dialectical behavior therapy focuses upon healing skills such as…

  • Emotional regulation is an individual’s ability to identify, process, and respond to difficult feelings.
  • Distress tolerance allows people to build up their resiliency to difficulties in life. It equips them with skills that empower them to face life’s ups and downs in a healthy way.
  • Mindfulness means that people begin to pay attention to their mind and the emotions in a non-judgmental way. People begin to observe themselves. This skills is a foundational skill for emotional health.
  • Interpersonal effectiveness equips people with the skills and expectations they need to build healthy relationships of all kinds—as friends, as family members, as romantic partners, and more.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
