Wow, thank you so much! That means so incredibly much to me. I'm going to be focusing on some non-BPD-specific videos for a little (like this one), but I think they'll still be helpful to other people on their journeys. I need to focus on topics that are more currently relevant to where I am right now, but there will definitely be more BPD content down the road.

Aw, thank you so much! I've been on a break while I work through some things in my life, but I'm in the beginning stages of a new video. I appreciate your continued support 😊

Hi! I'm so glad you found this video helpful! It's fantastic that you're working through the diagnosis like that - it can be difficult rewriting our long-held understandings of ourselves. Emotional sensitivity seems to be the main building block for BPD. I haven't found anyone with the diagnosis yet who hasn't had emotional sensitivity from a young age (although some had to learn to suppress emotions in their environments). So yes, even without having symptoms of BPD anymore, that emotional sensitivity remains. It can feel like a curse, but as you say, it's also a gift, and you can absolutely learn to embrace it and use it to your advantage. I'm super excited for you on your journey. I seriously love hearing stuff like this, so I appreciate you commenting. I hope you'll stick around and check out my other videos. I think you'll find them helpful as well! Best of luck with everything.

Thank you! I'm so glad you found it helpful! And congratulations on choosing the path of healing - it's not always the easy choice, but it's absolutely worth it to build the life you deserve. I hope you find some of my other videos helpful as well! I'd love to hear from you again ❤️

My response depends on what kind of mask she was referring to. Masking as in not showing symptoms externally while experiencing them internally? Or wearing a mask as in pretending to be a different person due to a lack of identity? People (with BPD or not) wear "masks" for many different reasons. Either way, I'm sorry you feel that way with your ex, that's really difficult to deal with.

@SarruhTonin she said to be what she thinks other people want. I honestly think shes npd & bpd

I'm glad you found the channel, then! I absolutely believe it's possible at later ages, and I've seen first hand accounts of people who have been through it. It can of course be more difficult to undo the behavior patterns if they've been set in and reinforced for so long, and there can be extra trauma to have to heal from because of the extended experience of symptoms (and their effects) before reaching that point. Even as you get better, it can be difficult not to resent those years that seem lost. But "better late than ever" couldn't be more true, and you have the opportunity to make something of the suffering. You can use the new diagnosis to better understand yourself, get appropriate treatment, transform your life, and finally align with your core self and fulfill your life's true purpose. It's not easy work, but it's beyond beyond beyond worth it. I wish you the best of luck and hope you'll subscribe if you haven't and check out my other videos. Even the topics that aren't BPD specific have somehow contributed to my overall recovery journey.

Hello! I don’t get into in-depth descriptions of those episodes since it can be very triggering, but I’m positive there are others who do. I hope you find other content in my videos helpful, though.

I'm sorry you dealt with the long misdiagnoses as well, but I'm really glad you were able to figure it out and found it to be a relief like I did. I wouldn't say "odd," though! Unique! We all have our differences, but I like having a thorough understanding of why I am how I am.

Hi, that's a great question - but a very difficult one to answer. Beyond looking for emotional support, compassion, and company, I usually didn't feel like anyone else actually *could* help me. I often felt like something was broken inside me and if there was any chance that it could be fixed (which I frequently doubted), it'd have to be by my doing. I also have a history of being a people pleaser and defining my worth by what I could do for others - and had relationships where this was reinforced - so I felt guilty for wanting help and often tried to make up for it by giving more. So I think this question really depends on the person. Support, understanding, and compassion can go a long long way, but if someone is not getting professional help and/or working on themselves, the type of help others do try to provide won't necessarily be truly helpful. There's a fine and often unclear line between supporting and enabling. I'm sorry for your experience, but it is nice that you wanted to help. It sounds like it was either not the type of help they needed (not necessarily your fault) or they weren't open to accepting help.

@@SarruhTonin Wonderful and insightful answer Sarruh! I greatly appreciate the response :)

Thank YOU for watching and commenting!! I really appreciate it, and I’m so glad you like them.

@@SarruhTonin I admire your courage to help others understand the condition

Ah thank you so much! Thats such a nice compliment. I’m so glad you enjoy it and find it comforting and helpful ☺️

Hi, thank you for watching and commenting! I don’t like to use the term “cure” - please watch my previous video if you want more info on that - but there’s no simple answer to how I’ve gotten to this point in my recovery, either. My approach has been (and continues to be) holistic. A big reason I made this channel is so that over time, I can cover a wide range of different topics that have contributed to my overall growth, healing, and improvement. I hope you find them helpful!

Aw thank you so much! These heavier videos are challenging. I have so much empathy for other people who are affected by this disorder, and discussing these topics can stir up some unpleasant memories and emotions for myself as well. I’m fortunate it’s in the rear view mirror for me, but I still have plenty of healing to do ❤️ the next video will NOT be as heavy though, and it’s not going to be BPD specific. Im in a big growth period right now and want to focus on some concepts currently relevant to my journey for a bit.

Hi, I'm sorry for whatever you're going through, and I hope you find the help and support you need. You'll get through this.

It really is a shame, and unfortunately a lot of people don’t take these symptoms seriously until it’s too late. It’s nice that you could at least see the truth of her experience even if her family couldn’t. I really hope my content can help some people better understand the condition and reduce that invalidation and stigma.

I don’t believe most people don’t truly want to improve - I think they just don’t believe they really can. Far less is hardwired in us than a lot of people think. It’s all about that growth mindset!!! Thanks for watching and commenting 😊

Haha oh good! I ended up keeping it 😋

I couldn't agree more!

Thank you so much. I hope you’ll subscribe if you like my content. I’ve been posting less frequently lately, but there’s plenty more to come!!

Welcome!!! Thanks for commenting! I’m so glad you’re finding my content helpful. It’s great that you’re trying to better understand yourself and your symptoms, and that you’re seeking professional help. Best of luck on your journey. I’m rooting for you and hope to hear from you again!!

I might have an answer!

@@SarruhTonin The comment was supposed to be "witty staging". on another link... Is your mother named Uma? then... She named you like 7 names. ...& then ...l was all like "Can you believe that is all one baby?" -Weird Beaner ...because retrofitted lentils -Weird Beaner

I’m so sorry for your loss, and for the effects her condition must’ve had on you both.

@@SarruhTonin Thank you.

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it

@41y554 Thank you so much for commenting this. I got really bad news today about a friend who means a lot to me who has been battling cancer for many years, and I’m currently crying in my bed. I’ve cried a lot today. I know it’s okay to feel what I’m feeling, but I’m going to lean into gratitude instead of totally losing myself in the sadness. I’m glad I could help you, and thank you for helping me in turn at the exact time I really needed it.

Aw thanks for the support, and I’m really excited for you! Please let me know what you think of it.
