Does anyone know anything about it?
I know it is a hard thing to deal with both for the person who has it and those around them.
The part that is hard for me, is knowing that there is nothing I can say or do to make that person happy. They need to do it for themselves. They have a skewed view of relationships and love. Everything should be a romantic fairytale for them.
IRL, there are ups and downs and you have to stick with them. I am used to this roller coaster in myself. I am bipolar.
It's like being a sociopath in every possible way, except, their emotions are turned on high. Some even have no emotions until they come like a surging wave into their brain.
I'd compare it to the weather. Sometimes its calm and sometimes its overbearingly sunny. Sometimes its stormy and angry and sometimes its downpouringly rainy and sad. Sometimes its snowy icey cold and sometimes its the opposite.
I never took an interest in BPD until I started watching Bates Motel. I thought it was a great show and even went to watch the original movie it was based off, which was Psycho (I need to watch the other movies now lol). I am aware though that norman suffered from DID and not BPD. To me it seams like DID is just a more serious version of BPD. Aside from that, what I thought was interesting was that normans mother suffered from pathological narcissism and basically drove norman to the edge.
I know there's a lot more to the story but I don't feel like explaining it. I guess why I'm so interested in it is because I think I might have BPD which is relatively similar to DID, but definitely not the same thing. I've drawn that conclusion because I think my dad was a narcissist and still is. But what separated me from developing BPD instead of DID was the constant abandonment in my life.
Anyways that's my newer and more sensible conclusion. It would explain basically everything. The hardest part though I guess would be to accept that being the truth. It's like I've been wanting to make sense of everything and now that it does, I'm not sure what else to do.
I don't know anything other than the chaos is very difficult to be around. I have enough chaos in my own head. Then to have someone else? It is hard to be strong for a BPD when you feel like it is never enough, and that they don't appreciate it.
I have someone that I love dearly and nothing I do is right. EVER.
no offense but u dont sound like a bpd to me
most people with bpd sound perfectly normal and sane if ur not trying to have a relationship of any kind with them
as pals great peeps but avoid relationships with this particular type it will drive u crazy before u finally decide to call it quits and even then its insanely difficult to get rid of them
