Thank you! Dx’d in 1987 (yup) with BPD. Mainly what is now called Quiet BPD, with overlaps. I stopped dating decades ago (I’m 71) because it just hurt too much. I’m sure my clingy neediness and mood swings drove them away. I just started EMDR in October and DBT group in January, and I feel like a new person. I’m coming off (very slowly, with medical,supervision) some of my antidepressants, which I’ve been on for 50 (yup) years. It’s never too late, please keep trying, everyone. Life is actually good for me for the first time. Your videos always help me, and I do hope you’re feeling better as well. ❤

The first time I heard about BPD was through "Crazy Ex Girlfriend", when Rebecca gets diagnosed with the condition, which helps her deal with her self destructive behaviour and actions. Thanks for clarifying it more, Kati.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

The example of 6 is so real. I try never to share those thoughts with anyone because I know it's not rational and they would never understand. Its forever, it's not you, its me.

I was hospitalised and diagnosed with Bpd at 19. Im now 39 and was disgnosed with autism last year. I just wonder had i had a diagnosis as a child i wouldnt have gone through all that trauma, and had the support i always needed. I feel i was really let down, by alot of people.

The one thing that annoys me slightly is, it always seems like people are insinuating that you can only be 1/4 or 2/4 of the BPD subcategories— which I strongly disagree with, because I have always been a mix of the 4 my whole life, I have all 9 criteria within the DSM-5. It just depends on what cycle I’m on throughout the day, and I would like more videos specifically on those that are like a Jack-Of-All-Trades when it comes to having all 4 subcategories on a loop throughout the day, with all 9 criteria activated that you’re unable to escape from.

My mother was diagnosed with BPD. She was super abusive and scapegoated me. I can’t imagine her ever being vulnerable enough to admit she needs help. Instead, she became a therapist. She seems to enjoy having people put her on a pedestal. Sometime in my 40s I decided there was nothing I could do to stop the abuse aside from going no contact. The first couple of times I ended up talking to her again after a few months or a couple of years. But this time I have not spoken to her for 11 years and I hope I never see her again. I am slowly learning how to stop my compulsion to please people. Not everything is my fault or my responsibility. I have a great therapist, so I am really thankful for that because they can be hard to find. Thank you for your videos, I love your content. ❤

I know I have BPD for about 8 months now. I noticed in the Netherlands people are scared for BPD. Its stigmatized a lot. Its better not to talk about it. People treat you differently when you say you have bpd. But im still a person and that hurts a lot.

Wow. Whole video has me sobbing and the 6th one was specifically corrected down to a T. The shame is so intense.. I can and often feel like I'm drowning in my own embarrassment of myself. Thank you for making this video. It's brief but so accurate and meaningful.

I'm a quiet bpd mainly but I have impulsive behavior, I'm self destructive and also fast moving emotions but i don't turn them at anyone. Just at myself.

BPD, BiPD, ADHD, Depression, Narcissism, PTSD; all these conditions and disorders overlap a lot, how could psychologists and mental health professionals tell them apart?

She said FUCK IT. One of the reasons I love this channel. Real...

Thank you Kati, the stigma is so strong that it even professionals treats us with tweezers. I hate when that happens, but I've learned to advocate for myself.

I was in a relationship with someone with severe BPD. It was Hell. I’d get thrown out of his house at 9 pm for just looking at him the wrong way. He was so irrational and impulsive. He was paranoid and so insecure thinking everyone hated him. He goes through relationships quickly. It’s a shame as he was a lot of fun and has potential. He wouldn’t go to counseling and probably never will.

I feel all of these symptoms and I have cptsd so please be careful self-diagnosing. A lot more goes into diagnosing

I was diagnosed with BPD 2yrs ago. I felt so heard and also called out with this video, thanks Kati. I don’t want people to know my thought process cause the shame is so great. For me, to lessen the chances of people leaving me I had decided to not have friends and if I do it’s only superficial. I do find friendships to be incredibly overwhelming and suspect I may have autism as well (lots of other reasons as well). Thank you, Kati, for speaking on BPD in such a way to lessen the stigma. ❤

I have never been more convinced that I have BPD than when listening to the thought process example 🤣

It makes sense to think of personality disorders as adaptions from CPTSD. Taking into consideration their experiences, environments, relationships, and natural temperaments. I wish there were more studies done on siblings and personality disorders highlighting each parental relationship. One having BPD while the other has NPD, for example.
