Hello,

This video best describes what I’m all about. I am 22 and was diagnosed with BPD 3 years ago. I’m half treated today and when I look back I can tell whenever I had been wrong in the past. I was almost psychotic and i’m glad its beginning to go away. I’m learning to control my emotions now and it feels strong.. But the loneliness/emptiness/boredom won’t go away. I am very worried because my life looks colorless as I feel disconnected with the world and the loved ones. I am still seeing things in black & white terms.

Wow. What an incredible video. The use of music with pictures captures the feelings so very well. Since that is a part of my diagnosis all I could do is say OMG. This captures it so very well. It is true so very few understand BPD. Yes, there is a lot of shame around it for me, yet with help I realized that it was my upbringing that (for lack of better wording) induced this. My childhood.

Kevin,

Please view the video posted on this article. It defines BPD better than any wiki article or other piece of literature ever could.

All my best,

what would be good if you could brake down the tecnicle turms witch borderline personality disorder is could you do a rewrite of say the wiki article im starting to understand most of the terms but i think they could be written a lot better in plain english if not i could probably do a rewrite with someone checking what i write cause my english is not that good and my grama is terible if i was to put it in short with having BPD is it is like living on egg shells quite a bit with the fear of falling and cracking them and ending in a black hole and the black hole is a very hard place to get out of it does not have doors that you see of windows to escape from you just float back out long turm goals are very hard to get to with out someone leading you with a leader and best forends can become enermys in minutes back and fowards and loved ones we love to hate to love all over again

Hi,
This is my first post but I just had to do it. I stumbled on this site by accident trying to understand myself and BPD. I watched the video and, OMG, it was like I was looking in a mirror. It was like someone punched me in my gut. I just started to cry. I’m 45 years old and have just been diagnosed within the past 6 months. I now know I’m not the only person who acts like this.
I showed this to my partner and she now has a much better understanding about me and my illness. I’d like to send it to my daughter but can’t find it again. Can you help me?

Dear Dr. Salters-Pedneault,

It is always my pleasure to post anything that I feel will be helpful to others. Everyone is indeed extremely unique and will have different symptoms to the same “diagnosis”. It’s important for people to be aware of this.

Thank you so much for your comment! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

All my best,
Dr. KC

Thanks for posting the video- very evocative. And, I appreciate the post- it is very hard for many people to understand that the combination of BPD symptoms can look very different for different people and still meet diagnostic criteria.

Dear J.D. Meier,

I’m not sure there is one model for “normal” or “good” personality. I think that every culture creates their own definition of what is “normal” or “good”. Many parts of the world share very different ideas.

Talking about the “medical model” which is scientific in nature is very different than something that is subjective such as how someone should act or behave. So, again, every culture around the world creates their own. It’s so difficult to understand how something becomes socially acceptable or not. At least to me it is hard to comprehend.

Thank you so much for this amazing comment!
All my best,

It brings up an interesting point … is there a model for *normal* or even *good* personality?

My cousin’s a chiropractor and she mentioned that there was actually no model of a good spine for the longest time, until finally an engineer became a chiropractor and created a model of an ideal spine.

It’s great to know what the baseline is because then everything is just an adjustment towards an end in mind.

I wonder what they did before the model
