What is borderline personality disorder

979 views

I’ve tried researching it and many explanations seem to be emotionally charged, judgmental, and non-factual. “They’re so evil and manipulative!” Okay, but can you actually describe what it is?

The the factual, non-biased explanations show what’s in the DSM-5, but it’s kind of vague. What exactly is it? What might people with BPD do to avoid abandonment? Etc.

Edit: Just wanted to thank everyone for their reply. Everyone has brought something of value and an interesting perspective.

When people ask me what BPD feels like, I tell them it’s like bipolar on speed. I can go from manic to depressive to manic again all in a span of 10 minutes. I’ve learned to control it since I was diagnosed though (diagnosis helps with dealing with it).
