I think it is all part of the dichotomies between fiction and reality; the harshness and dark emptiness mental illness can lead to is quite hard to portray, maybe more so by tv and cinema as art forms…i feel literature can often come very close…but it’s also an obvious trend as psychology, therapy and labeling have become more well known…a development that has sped up in the last 50 years maybe?

I’m starting to feel like i have developed a bpd persona to cope with childhood trauma…porn and alcohol addictions have grown to very problematic proportions too…i will receive treatment for these in a few months and hopefully find recovery…but the bpd bit is still a shock…thank you for sharing! ✊🏽👍🏽🙏🏽

interesting, often perceptive reaction, TD...but you do know it's also comedy?

Oooof. Biggest "things kids shouldn't hear" is an insult. I was born, and grew up with severe acne. It never used to bother me - I never picked my acne, even as an adhd 8 y/o, I kinda liked how it made me unique. (And because NO topical treatments worked. As in, nothing. I tried using diluted acetone to dry them out as per doctors orders, nothing worked) Main point; even despite being bullied, *I Used To Like My Appearance. Flaws and all.* So imagine sitting in the car after judo practice, and your estranged blowing up on you for 0 reason, then going "why can't you just take care of your skin? Aren't you embarrassed?!" "No, I kinda like my spots I guess. They don't bother me" "That's disgusting. I mean, your skins horrible. Sometimes it's hard to look at you" Fast forwards, I have BFRB, in and out of doctors because I pick my skin and nails so much i've had countless infections, I've survived and am dealing with eating disorders, and prostituted myself as a young teen to feel "pretty". But hey, with medication, at least my acne cleared up, right? :) Like... Ugh. Ew. That's not a parent, that's a beast. I still feel ashamed for liking my appearance. But my partner gets really happy and points out all of my features, and seeing how giddy they get about my existance, it makes me happy and giddy. I promise, you aren't a bad kid or a bad person. You were probably taught your flaws and problems. But the point of therapy is to rise tf above it all and conquer that shit.

Bc I’ll never be good enough. For my parents. For my friends. For love.

I’m freshly grieving my own mother and I stumbled across your channel. Honestly these episode analysis are really helping and I wasn’t expecting that so thanks!!

this is perfect ı have been trying to understand this topic for 40 min now its so clear thank you lots

I wish someone cared enough to atleast try,to understand.

Are you being serious?

I do it because…. It’s a distraction and it’s somthing to *feel* like I feel emotion but I remember when I actually cared and the emotion was strong now it’s faded I don’t usually get sad except in the moment if I’m getting yelled at I just feel…. Well it’s like if not caring was an emotion sh is somthing strong that won’t get dulled the sting is somthing sharp and strong while my emotions are dull and muted I never make myself bleed becosu I’m scared it will scar and I don’t have anything that can I’ve cut a spot that made a few drops of the non blood liquid drop tho and today my friend saw my cut myself with scissors and made me show her my arm and she just said “I knew it” and that I shouldn’t do that I known she cares but she sounded so happy the whole time and i don’t know I want help I *need* help I want someone to stop me from doing it but I don’t want to tell anybody I don’t want to worry them or make them think I need antidepressants or somthing becosu I can’t be depressed I’m just su!c!d@l and self harming but I can’t be depressed I mean why should I I barely have any problems in my life I have great family great friends great grades I mean yes i have one teacher that is the reason I started hurting myself and I have to go to her class first thing in the morning every day…. But I’m not even in middle school yet how could I be depressed I’m only in 5th grade

Sorry doctor

Do all BPD therapists dress like they’re going to a nightclub bc I’m tryna heal😂

Prediction for season 2, at least one council member has to die as a result of that rocket , but which one and why? My bet is on Caitylin's mother , because Cate didn't trust Jinx from the beginning but stopped herself because of Vi, her mother's death would push her anger way up there. Another guess is Mel , even thou in her case I think she will be severely injured since she is to good of a character to remove, but having her injured or dead would really push Jayce to a mindset of "peace is imposible , we must fight".

The poetic irony of the council getting nuked while they where voting for peace, Jinx just started a war with that act.

That scene where present day Jinx cannot beast young Vi's score is just a masterpiece from a visual story telling ... and zero dialogue but the message is so strong.

A quick note Vi, wanted to go back to Powder after her emotional outburst. But Marko stopped her, here Marko's reasoning is he realised Silco is not to be trusted (since he killed Marko's partner) and wanted to save Vi from him. A good intention , however this spiraled intro something bigger.

The Choice Powder/Jinx gives Vi at the tea Party, I believe was a test for her sister. Could Vi accept Powder how she is & not how she was. Could Vi accept Jinx. I think Powder was going to sit in the Jinx chair regardless of what Vi did.After she instinctively protected Vi against Silco killing him in the process only reinforced Powder’s acceptance of who she is in the present. Jinx. Silco last words also reassured her on choosing an identity, no longer being torn. “Don’t Cry,you’re Perfect” was such a impactful thing to tell Jinx. Silco had a Villain to Father journey,rather he became his brother in the end. He loved Jinx for who she was. He didn’t say Jinx Is perfect while he was about to die, he said “your perfect.” I think Jinx leaving Vi was significant too. She did not kill Caitlyn either, after firing that missile at the Topside she is the one that leaves her sister. No longer Vi leaving Powder. Jinx has cut ties with her sister.

The real difficulty of diagnosing a threat is the cause of numerous false alegations ruining lives for many men! Warning to men, warning warning warning ... see the red flags in the beginning and keep away...

You have a very nice power of love, thanks

This is so real for me, just this week someone made a neutral joke towards me and i took it as aggression and spoke out to defend myself only to feel foolish when they told me they were just joking.

I am pretty sure my mother has BPD. She will claim people said offensive things when someone made an innocent comment. For example a person asked if she recognized an old jazz song, and she said how old do you think I am?

People can heal and be emotionally mature without therapy.

Wonderful video. I'm tired of reaction videos made by children who pretend to have emotions they don't really have. A professional psychological analysis of this wonderful series is what I needed. Thank you very much really.

Some part of me feels really understood, validated and listened when I watch bpd videos.

the Thats so Raven interlude killed me XDDD

Please don't do that to your lips

People with BPD, be careful out there. Political movements are weaponizing your distress to achieve their goals.

Please please please do season 2

Wait, if it often stems from childhood abuse/neglect and attachment issues why doesn’t the treatment include trauma informed modalities or attachment therapy? Why is it just a thought based therapy?🤔 why would we NOT work on healing the trauma and attachment woulds and use DBT as an adjunct?

Thank you for telling me what is wrong with me ! I have had these issues for years, but only recently, I realized what was happening 😳

Self sabotauge, retreat.

I help the downtrouden. I'm not technical.

I was terrified to get into another relationship because I was so unaware of the signs that last time. Call it a disorder, fine, but don’t tell me believe it isn’t a conscious decision because they’ll admit it and move forward with the behavior.

‘Types’ is outdated with Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder. If you hurt someone it’s literally just because you are an uncontrollable twat or a child.

Looks like my mental health is down to zero when I’m in school

❤i love in my tool box the adequate revenge utensil, eye for an eye

How about feeling like you’re looking out of a fisheye lens, or like reality doesn’t seem real?

lol didn’t sheriff/he say that the gates family all died off and then said they deserved closure as like it’s personal to him

I have a friend with this disorder. She attemptedSuicide severely and chronically for some time. Still so miserable, she developed severe AUD and also has CPTSD. 😑

1. Not everyone with borderline is violent, but most of them are and you will have to defend yourself. 2. Suicidal ideation is an excuse to treat everyone like dirt and they DO! 3. They tell you its childhood trauma is why they treat you like dirt. All excuses to treat you like dirt, all the time, never-ending. Get away

All true and when it is combined with financial abuse, it can be BRUTAL ! You really have to plan ahead and manage the situation the best way you can (often disengaging/leaving room/area) until you can afford to leave.

I hope that if a therapist has BPD they are really self aware before they try to help others, that could make things worse for patients say a patient has PTSD and not BPD.

Dear Pete, I have it too. Not fun. But if you have daily routines, exercise and DBT, helped me anyway 💪😘

How do I regulate myself when a family member does something that I disagree with and everyone around doesn’t understand 🥺 struggling so hard right now with BPD

What I don’t get is that Agatha did all this, secured the positions for her side of the Ton, and yet The Bassetts or rather the Duke of Hastings, Simon’s father still treated her disrespectfully.

I hope you have fully recovered from your BPD, because there is no way you could be an effective therapist if your still psychologically ill. Not in Europe anyway.

Experiencing a trauma bond at the moment. Love him, do everything for him, and yet he doesn’t seem to appreciate what I do. Over a year with no intimacy…he has a lot of excuses, and meanwhile I have a body complex now…and eating my emotions. I want out but I’m afraid I’ll miss him. We don’t live together so I am going to try not going to his place as often and see how that feels. I have a feeling he wouldnt care anyways…..

Thank you for this "felt" explanation ❤

I love your videos! I know it's old, but would you consider reacting to The Haunting of Hill house? I feel like there'd be a lot to talk about with family Dynamics and mental illness in that show and I would love to see your thoughts on it. Thank you for doing what you do!

Lip biting, chewing nails and stuff like that can be a form of what is called self-stimulation, or stimming. I would suggest a quick Google search on this, as it is a good thing to know what it is. Everyone stims, but some demographics do so more than others.
