Hey there, today we're diving into the origins of borderline personality disorder - a topic that many of you have been eager to learn more about.

Ever heard of BPD? It's a mental illness that can make you feel like you're riding an emotional rollercoaster all the time. Love intensely, hate fiercely, feel empty inside - sound familiar? Well, that could be BPD at play. And don't forget about the intense fear of abandonment that comes with it. But hey, it's not all doom and gloom. There's hope and help out there. Seek professional support and maybe try out dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) - it could make a world of difference. And remember, you're not alone in this journey. Let's navigate the ups and downs together.

Now, borderline personality disorder, also known as BPD, is a mental illness that is characterized by a pervasive pattern, which implies that it simply permeates our lives, right? Because it is pervasive, it is everywhere.

As a result, it is a pattern that has persisted throughout our lives: we either love someone so deeply or hate them with all of who we are, and it can be really hard for us to stop that from happening because we feel everything so strongly. Self-esteem issues can arise.

What's more?, those with BPD can likewise be truly rash as to self-hurt ways of behaving, sex or sexual coexistence, overspending, voraciously consuming food, careless driving, and they also continually stress over being deserted. Mood swings and recurrent suicidal thoughts are also possible, right? I was talking about how we can feel really out of control when we love and hate people. Chronic feelings of emptiness, inappropriately strong anger, and even symptoms of dissociation are all possible. Simply know that those with BPD feel everything around them with great intensity. Therefore, managing everything can be extremely challenging.

Furthermore, that is the reason our connections can be so wild. If you believe that any of the symptoms I just mentioned apply to you or your experience, please contact a local mental health professional; try to locate a practitioner of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

Evidently, BPD does not function in the same way as PTSD, which allows us to trace the triggering event to the mental illness. In any case, because of a wide period of research, we in all actuality do have a thought of the elements that can add to somebody creating BPD.

The first thing we know is that genetics plays a significant role. Also, Most believe this answer sucks, which is why I needed to simply move it first, however, research shows that hereditary qualities certainly assume a part. Before you shove that off, research does demonstrate that those of us who have a first-degree relative, such as a sibling or parent, are only in one way connected, unlike a grandmother. We are ten times more likely to develop BPD if we have a first-degree relative with the disorder.

Presently, one more likely reason for BPD is anomalies in mind structure. Through research, it was discovered that the brain regions responsible for emotion regulation, impulsivity, and aggression are distinct from those of people without BPD. Also, these pieces of our cerebrum is similar to a little bean shape in the focal point of our cerebrum. Thats our alarm system! It fires when we get really upset as kids or throw a tantrum. Our amygdala is firing when we get really angry as adults and are like, uh, we don't know what to do, we see red, or we are just super emotional, we just want to cry. Therefore, our pre-frontal cortex, which is in charge of emotional decision-making, is also located near the front of our brain. Thus, on the off chance that you think about what every one of those parts of that framework, the limbic framework does, it's truly simple to perceive how they can deal with a great deal of BPD situations. Assuming they're tracking down abnormalities in those areas, no big surprise somebody with BPD will battle to deal with all that they feel.

Moreover, pieces of evidence have been discovered that the emotion regulation chemicals serotonin and dopamine do not function properly in the brains of people with BPD. Therefore, we are experiencing a sort of double whammy in which a portion of our brain is not formed in the same manner, is irregular, or is misfiring, and those chemicals are also not functioning. Therefore, it is not surprising that we experience dysregulation and the capacity to experience overwhelming emotion.

Another possible cause is trauma, or growing up in a very stressful environment. We have discussed this extensively on my channel, and many of you have repeatedly asked me about the distinctions between BPD and CPTSD because you don't see any differences. In any case, we truly do track down areas of strength between experiencing childhood in an oppressive home where we were physically mishandled, which can lead us to create BPD sometime down the road. In a case where our house was really unpleasant, and neighbours were always on the edge with one another. Any steady pressure or vulnerability can cause BPD.

A few examinations have even ventured to say that Abuse since early on could prompt BPD, too. Traumatic experience, or extreme stress we experience as children may contribute to BPD.

Though there is still a lot of research being done, I want you to remember that borderline personality disorder can be cured. There are so many negative online discussions about it and attempts to demonize those of us who have it.

However, the fancy term "neural plasticity," which is a real thing, really means that our brains can change and heal. Also, that's what research shows assuming we utilize our apparatuses also, on the off chance that it's essential for our treatment plan, we take our medicine,

Did you know that BPD can be cured? Yep, that's right! Our brains have this awesome ability called neural plasticity, which means they can change and heal. Research shows that with the right tools, treatment plan, and medication, people with BPD can get to a point where they have no signs or symptoms of the disorder after 10 years. How cool is that?

So even though it may feel like forever, just remember that there is hope for recovery. You've got this!
