People with BPD disorder have an unstable sense of self, tend to see others as either all good or all bad (“splitting”), are prone to dramatic episodes in which they threaten to commit suicide, self-harm and they can often behave in disturbing ways. Sufferers have difficulty negotiating the difference between the need to be absolutely perfect and alarmingly sick and disturbed.
“People with other psychological disorders involving intense and frequent negative emotions, such as major depressive disorder, those who have BPD are often intensely unhappy and anxious. As a result, they are predisposed to overreact when something doesn’t go their way, like a powder ready to explode with the slightest provocation.”
