Very carefully, but they still are people too so don't treat them like they are an alien.
In order to have a functional relationship with someone who has borderline personality disorder the main thing is to accept that they have a condition and to be able to provide support and understanding. If you are willing to live with it, then you can make the relationship work. Offer support, learn about the illness, and work with them to make it as manageable as possible.
It is a symptom of antisocial personality disorder. it can be associated witH Borderline Personality Disorder- someone i know has that and she would tell bizarre fibs to get attention or avoid people walking away from her when she was upset or eveni think to get what she wants when under severe stress and anxiety
Borderline personality disorder has a poor outlook because noncompliance with treatment is common. But when someone is committed to treatment and stays in therapy often times they are treated with DBT(Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) the prognosis can be good. BPD is also said to be outgrown in certain instances as are other personality disorders but not in all cases.
Mental disorders can only be diagnosed by a mental health professional. Suicidal ideation or attempts is seen in several mental disorders, not only in borderline personality disorder. Also, depressive episodes do not occur only in bipolar disorder.
Do some reading, but be aware of the sources. Start with behavior tech and Marsha Linehan, I wouldn't recommend anything that their website doesn't suggest. There is a lot of wrong information out there, but this group is the know-all. If you're up for a whole book, read The Buddha and the Borderline. It gives insight to what is actually going through the mind of someone with borderline personality disorder. It is an autobiography.
yup; you're bound to be crazy. I suggest you see a shrink.
Each personality disorder is classified into one of three "clusters": clusters A, B, or C. Cluster A is called the "eccentric" cluster, and it includes schizotypal, paranoid, and schizoid personality disorders. Cluster B is called the "dramatic" or "erratic" cluster, and it includes ASPD (another name for sociopathy), borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic personality disorder. Cluster C is called the "anxious" or "dependent" cluster, and it includes avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. Cluster B is the one that shares the most characteristics with sociopathy. Borderline personality disorder is a disorder that is characterized by emotional instability. People with borderline generally are described as "childish", and they often feel as if they are victimized. Their emotional swings often resemble those of sociopathy. Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by attention seeking, including excess seduction, being the "life of the party" even if there isn't a party, and have quick mood swings (which is something that all of Cluster B has in common). This disorder is similar to sociopathy because of the need for all of the attention to be on them. Finally, we come to narcissistic personality disorder. Those with narcissistic personality disorder think of themselves as the greatest thing alive. They are bad at taking criticism in any way. They require constant attention, and they may lie to achieve their own goals. The main reason that those with narcissistic personality disorder resemble sociopaths, though, is because they feel little to no empathy. To sum that long answer up, borderline personality disorder resembles sociopathy because of its mood swings, histrionic personality disorder resembles sociopathy because of the attention-seeking, and narcissistic personality disorder resembles sociopathy because of the near or full lack of empathy.
There isn't a crusader personality disorder. However, someone with a family member a personality disorder often feels like a crusader in protecting their family.
All mental illnesses and personality disorders will get worse with age unless you deal with them and correct them. The longer you ignore things that are unhealthy, the worse they will get. People who do not try to change their borderline thinking habits will find that those habits get more ingrained and harder to get rid of as time goes on.
In sharp contrast to Anti-Social Personality Disorder (sociopathy) is another personality disorder, termed Borderline Personality Disorder, in which the problem is the opposite of the problem of the sociopath: the sympathetic nervous system of person with BPD responds too easily, too strongly, and way too often!Meanwhile, in the true sociopath/psychopath, the fight-or-flight reaction is very brief, extremely difficult to sustain even in an emergency, and does not touch certain organs as it ought to do; sociopaths are chronically "bored" because they are literally half-asleep most of the time. (Even though they tend to look awake and behave in an alert, intense manner.)Additionally, although individuals with Borderline Personality tend to use manipulation in various forms such as malingering, these are usually intended to gain the concern or sympathy of perceived caregivers. In persons with Antisocial Personality Disorder, deceit and manipulation are used to gain material gratification such as money, gifts, etc. Also, personality features specific to APD, such as an extreme sense of entitlement, egocentricity, narcissism, and exaggerated self-assurance are typically absent in persons with BPD.
Borderline personality disorder is a person with sudden mood swings, self distructive behavior and very manipulative. Dependent personality disorder is to be fully dependent on a person and to literally focus your life around that person. People with borderline personality disorder (bpd) fear separation as much as people with dependent personality disorder. However, the bpd individual has more "unstable patterns of social relationships". They go from feelings of extreme love and admiration towards loved ones, (which is considered idealization), to the opposite extreme of intense anger and dislike, (termed devaluation). Specifically, one minute, those with bpd are able to form an intense attachment to someone. The next minute, when something happens like a separation the bpd individual believes the other person doesn't care, and loses trust. Responding by rejecting before being rejected, yet still not wanting to be alone. In short, those with a dependent personality disorder could not even fathom the thought of losing someone. Rejection for them is not an option. In fact, these people are known to do whatever it takes to keep whoever they are depended on in their lives, even if it hurts them to do so. Both personality disorders are more common in women than men.
You.
