May is Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Month. Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a condition that affects approximately 1.6% of the U.S. population, which translates to over four million people. So what is BPD anyway? Well, it’s… complicated. Some common features include fear of abandonment, "splitting" in relationships, an unstable sense of self, impulsivity, self-harm risks, intense mood swings, feelings of emptiness, anger issues, and sometimes brief paranoia or dissociation under stress. It’s important to remember that a personality disorder is not a moral failing. A diagnosis of BPD is a tool, not a fault-finding process, and there are effective treatments to address personality disorders (such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). Ultimately it’s about reducing suffering and finding a way to have a life worth living, and that takes time, effort, help, and hope. #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #PersonalityDisorder #BorderlinePersonalityAwarenessMonth #BPD #BPDAwareness #BPDHope #DBT (fb)
