Your love and support have enabled us to send your way another\r\nwealth of everyday psychology. So, let’s explore. Have you heard of borderline\r\npersonality disorder or BPD before? It’s a personality disorder that affects about one to three\r\npercent of the population. So, what is BPD? People with BPD struggle with self-image and self-perception. Their behavior and view\r\nof others change quickly as they battle waves of\r\nsadness, anger, or anxiety. It’s linked to traumatic events, brain chemistry, and family history. However, these factors aren’t always present in people with the disorder. Hidden BPD is a type in which the symptoms of the\r\ndisorder are internalized. They’re not displayed outwardly, making its diagnosis difficult.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis leads your friends,\r\npartner, or family members to misunderstand your actions as having a toxic personality or a different mental\r\ndisorder like anxiety rather than borderline\r\npersonality disorder. Before we begin, we would like to remind you that the purpose of this video\r\nis to create awareness and should in no case be\r\nused to self-diagnose. If you find you can relate to these signs, please reach out to a\r\nprofessional for help. With that being said, here are seven hidden signs of borderline personality disorder. One, self-hatred, self-harm. Do you often see the world in extremes and struggle to maintain\r\na sense of identity? One hidden sign of borderline\r\npersonality disorder is drastically low self-esteem or self-hatred.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis creates internal conflict\r\nlike constant self-criticism, negative self-image, and feeling\r\nlike you’re a bad person. Self-harm is another sign of borderline personality disorder. And this can escalate to suicidal thoughts or attempts at suicide. Two, difficulty regulating emotions. You cycle between periods\r\nof intense emotions like emptiness, sadness,\r\nanger, and anxiety. People with BPD struggle\r\nto feel in control of their emotional\r\nresponses to situations. This is called effective instability and it’s more intense and longer lasting than hormonal mood swings. Because people with hidden BPD tend to internalize their feelings, their mood swings likely won’t\r\nbe as noticeable to others. It’s important to note, however, that intense mood swings can also be a sign of mood disorders which is why it’s so\r\nimportant to get diagnosed by a mental health professional. In some cases, a person may be diagnosed with both a borderline personality disorder and a mood disorder such as bipolar. Three, internalized anger. Intense anger can also be a sign of BPD. Some people verbally or physically lash out at others brought on by BPD.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBut in the case of hidden BPD, this anger is turned\r\ninwards against the self and in the form of self-hatred or is suppressed which\r\nis even more lethal. Such anger can also manifest as repeated frustration\r\nor extreme irritation when faced with interpersonal stressors that people without BPD or\r\nother personality disorders can handle without getting upset. Fourth, fear of rejection. Would you agree that\r\nrejection is hard to stomach even in the best of times? For those with BPD, fear of rejection is\r\nyet another hidden sign.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pexels.com\/photos\/5670759\/pexels-photo-5670759.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;h=650&amp;w=940\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis could manifest in an irrational fear that loved ones will\r\nleave you, social anxiety, or a desire to please everyone around you to try and prevent them\r\nfrom rejecting you. The fact that people\r\nwith BPD often struggle to maintain relationships\r\nonly adds to this fear. Five, unstable relationships. Do you face difficulty maintaining interpersonal relationships like friendships, sibling bonds,\r\nor romantic relationships? It can be difficult for people with BPD to preserve relationships because they often idealize\r\nor think very highly of and then romanticize someone for a while and then devalue distrust\r\nor become disgusted with them. A 2016 study suggests\r\nthat some people with BPD react to relationship\r\nstressors with impulsivity which generates instability\r\nin relations as well. Six, impulsive decisions. While cycles of impulsive\r\ndecisions commonly occur in those with bipolar disorder\r\nand other mood disorders, they’re also a sign of BPD. Examples of impulsive decisions\r\nsomeone with BPD might make are substance abuse,\r\nspending or gambling sprees, skipping work or\r\nappointments, unprotected sex, binge eating, or reckless driving.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nImpulsive decisions are\r\na hidden sign of BPD because others may think this impulsivity comes from low impulse control or another mental disorder instead of BPD. And seven, disassociation. Finally, people with\r\nborderline personality disorder may disassociate more frequently and for longer periods than typical functioning people. Disassociation is when thoughts or emotions enter your mind and you find yourself incapable\r\nof focusing on your actions, instead operating on autopilot or watching yourself do things without feeling connected to your body. Disassociation is a hidden symptom of BPD because others may assume\r\nsomeone who is disassociating is just tired or distracted. Disassociation can also\r\nbe a symptom of PTSD or dissociative identity\r\ndisorder, also known as DID.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBut if it occurs alongside\r\nthe other things, it’s likely a hidden sign of BPD. It’s important to remember that mental disorders\r\naffect everyone differently. Not everyone experiences all the symptoms. You might also experience\r\nsymptoms not listed here. That’s why it’s so important to seek help from a licensed mental health professional with experience in personality disorders if you think you or someone\r\nyou love might have BPD.
