further explaining bpd to anyone who might be confused by the twitlonger (from a person who’s mother has bpd):
bpd is a personality disorder that affects interpersonal relationships and and emotional stability. people with bpd struggle to maintain healthy relationships, and have a strong fear of rejection and abandonment, and are hyper sensitive to it. this is something referred to as-
rejection sensitive disorder, or rsd. rsd often makes people with bpd misinterpret small things and blow them out of proportion because they think your leaving them/hate them. this can cause them to lie and guilt to get you to stay, or it can cause them to leave you first and-
make up lies about you to justify why they left and to get people to side with them. people with borderline personality disorder are not evil, they are not awful people, and they are not damaged. bpd is genetic and it is something that they are born with. understanding-
how to help someone with bpd when in a relationship with them is the most important part. (if anyone wants to correct me please do. these are things i’ve learned from my own experience, research, and from my therapist and might not be completely correct.)-
this thread isn’t meant to be a way to intrude on dreams personal life, just as a way to help people understand why someone with bpd acts the way they do. <3
to clarify: bpd also occurs because of childhood trauma, but can be genetic too. i added the genetic part because i know more about it in that sense :)
this thread is about more severe cases of bpd and is heavily based on my own experience with my mom. take what i say with a grain of salt, and do not apply it to everyone with bpd. this is just a thread to explain why someone may act the way they do, -
and why you should not demonize them for it.
