There are a lot of bpd people on my discord server. I respect them, I don’t understand what bpd is.
Their speech pattern is normal, their behavior is normal, their EVERYTHING is normal.
Clearly, they’re hiding something over their “normality mask”, but what?
I tried reading some articles about it. No dice – the articles were either very clinical to the point where I understood every third or fourth word, or very “this person basically has mood swings.”
I tried talking with them. Again, no dice – “I have mood swings, basically.”
I tried talking with my neurologist. “They have bad mood swings, basically.”
I once tried to kill a dude who was honking for straight 45 minutes (kepprage) while other shit was piling up on me. TBF, that was one occurrence. That didn’t land me in the bpd zone.
Just how bad are their bad their mood swings are?!
What does it take to get to the bpd zone?!
What is this bpd?
Explain like I’m legitimately 5, but with a larger vocabulary.

People with borderline personality disorder are basically describes with “intense” and “unstable” modifiers. Their moods can swing from intense joy to intense rage in a few seconds. Also there tends to be a fear of abandonment and negative self imagery (usually with suicidal thoughts). They also do what is called “splitting” which is where you see things in very black and white terms, either all good or all bad.
I knew a young child who was adopted from an abuse situation. She had borderline personality disorder, and was having difficulty adapting. She would go from hugging her adoptive mother to literally attempting to stab her because she said that she was going to the grocery store.
They aren’t “I got mad after 45 minutes” type of folks, they tend to take minutes or seconds for moods to shift dramatically.
