Episode Five: Borderline Personality Disorder
Episode Five IS NOT one that you’re going to wanna miss. Have you ever heard of Borderline Personality Disorder?
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a condition characterized by difficulties regulating emotion. This means that people who experience BPD feel emotions intensely and for extended periods of time, and it is harder for them to return to a stable baseline after an emotionally triggering event.
This difficulty can lead to impulsivity, poor self-image, stormy relationships and intense emotional responses to stressors. Struggling with self-regulation can also result in dangerous behaviors such as self-harm (e.g. cutting).
It’s estimated that 1.4% of the adult U.S. population experiences BPD. Nearly 75% of people diagnosed with BPD are women. Recent research suggests that men may be equally affected by BPD, but are commonly misdiagnosed with PTSD or depression.
Join us on Saturday, September 24 at 12PM CST to get educated on what Borderline Personality is like, how easy it is to mistreat, the symptoms of this illness, and how to best find resources to help overcome this.
