Symptoms of BPD...

Me to a T

  • An intense fear of abandonment, even going to extreme measures to avoid real or imagined separation or rejection
    • A pattern of unstable intense relationships, such as idealizing someone one moment and then suddenly believing the person doesn't care enough or is cruel
    • Rapid changes in self-identity and self-image that include shifting goals and values, and seeing yourself as bad or as if you don't exist at all
    • Periods of stress-related paranoia and loss of contact with reality, lasting from a few minutes to a few hours
    • Impulsive and risky behavior, such as gambling, reckless driving, unsafe sex, spending sprees, binge eating or drug abuse, or sabotaging success by suddenly quitting a good job or ending a positive relationship
    • Suicidal threats or behavior or self-injury, often in response to fear of separation or rejection
    • Wide mood swings lasting from a few hours to a few days, which can include intense happiness, irritability, shame or anxiety
    • Ongoing feelings of emptiness
    • Inappropriate, intense anger, such as frequently losing your temper, being sarcastic or bitter, or having physical fights

    That earned me a knock on the jaw
