    As someone who suffers with extreme severe anxiety I can totally relate to her. I would stop eating for days at a time as a punishment. I worry a lot about my life, everyone around me and pleasing everyone. It's absolutely crippling, so glad she got the help she needed, lovely young lady it's so sad that society has 1 in 3 people suffering mental health issues. I hope everyone seeks help

    I've realised the acute feelings of abandonment and rejection perceived or otherwise, is actually fear. Not emptiness but not feeling at all safe. Then fight or flight kicks in, and it becomes a huge knot of overwhelming emotions. You really do know your stuff. 🌿🕊

    I loved the part where you talk about texting. The anxiety and negative thoughts that come to you when you feel like you’re being rejected but people could just be busy.. Sometimes we are so afraid of being abandoned, we end up abandoning the entire relationship ironically causing the one thing we were trying to avoid 😅

    My BPD has given me what I can only describe as “emotional homelessness”. It has felt like I have never belonged anywhere or with anyone. Even when people are doing their best to include me and love me, my emotional armor keeps me from “feeling” those emotions, even if I “know” those emotions- unless I am using MDMA to overcome that, and MDMA comes with its own problems.

    As a person with BPD as well as an empath, i know when ppl don't like me. I can see how they respond to others' vs how they respond to me. The iPhone response "loved" or "liked" is a massive trigger. It just means that that person doesn't care enough to respond. My in laws notoriously show pics of their favorite child/grandchildren and when i send pics, no response for days. If we are in person, she is completely disinterested and distracted. I would rather be lonely because i feel even lonlier in most people's presence. I am an RN and know 2 way vs 1 way communication. Rarely do ppl listen but rather i feel like most people are narcissistic and only speak about themselves. I do not feel safe around people.

      You are definitely not alone. I moved from a big city to a very small city where I know way more people/ have more family. I never felt lonely at all in the big city with very few social connections, just really enjoyed my independence. But now that I'm "back home" life gets painful. It truly does feel lonely being around other people.

    your vids are really helping me! i’m only diagnosed with anxiety, depression & ptsd but you articulate how I feel very well. I mentioned bpd to my group therapist, but she said I def don’t because the main symptom is suicidal ideation and I don’t have that .. but I do .. I just don’t know how to say I think about it every day all day for years now .. I have a hard time expressing it outwards, so it took every ounce of strength not to be impulsive to get her to understand. I wanted to self harm, but luckily i’m in php already. Idc about the diagnosis, I just want the correct treatment so I can start getting better. I’m tired of trying all these combos of meds .. I’m going to stick with my current plan, but also order your books to learn more.
    eta: she also stated I have too much self control to have it, that if I had it I wouldn’t have a filter 🤨 I just can’t believe the stigmatization of bpd ..

    My therapist talks about mindfulness just about every time I see him. He wants me to feel my big toe lol. It's hard to be in the moment tho and even harder when I have a lot going on in my head. I'm trying to practice mindfulness, but I feel like it's not working a lot of the time. I'm going to attend a DBT/CBT therapy group for 3 weeks (5 days a week for 6hrs a day) and hopefully, I'll get more insight into it. They do a guided mindfulness meditation in the morning, and they teach coping skills. Thanks for making this video, it was really good.

      not all disorders are from birth, i dont think society is ready to tackle the real problem which is unsuitatable parents. Parents that might seem normal to anybody, no drug or alcohol abuse, keep food on the table and roof over their heads but mistreat their children psychologically so deeply that this and other disorders happen.

      If we can control who is allowed to become parents and who isn’t…then yes everyone will be ok but the fact it’s everyone’s right to raise a child (unfit/unhealthy parents) then children become a product of their environment, and become unhealthy too and develop mental illness. You are given it from your parents, thank them

    Great video! Living in the fog is such a great way to describe the inner mental landscape. About people who don’t text back, what if it’s your cousin and you never get an answer? That’s happened to me so many times. Does that mean I should stay away from that person? So hard to identify emotions and express them, something that I was never taught how to do in a family where “little children should be seen and not heard” was considered a good thing. Thanks also for explaining mindfulness. I never really understood what it was.❤️❤️❤️

    I have BPD and generalized anxiety dissorder. I know what I want to say but when I’m in a BPD episode it’s like
    I am metaphorically locked in my own
    Virtual prison ( I never been to prison) a virtual self imposed prison as if my voice box doesn’t work. I know what I want to say but again metaphorically the words don’t come out. It’s like I am all alone within the. Contours of my mind making it impossible for me to understand my self let alone others. It feels so depressing because aside from abandament I feel silenced.

    What are the the titles to the videos about family in the head? I want to watch them all, but can’t tell by the titles. Can you make a playlist for those titled family in the head? I’d also appreciate a playlist for videos about treatment/recovery. I would also love to see a video about how each type of therapy can help bpd, like cpt and transference therapy, ifs, emdr. ***also, I think my bf has bpd and I did a lot to try and help him see all the good in him and there was a lot of improvement (he also does DBT and talk therapy) but I feel like it may have backfired in the sense that if I ever bring up an issue, he then gets super confused because there was so much positive talk so it seems to be blinding him to the fact that anything could be wrong. Do you have a video about how to navigate that in relationship? How to balance building them up and also asking them to be accountable in safe way that doesn’t crash them? One last request…do you have a video on how to get diagnosed? Like is there a specific screening that should be done? I’m worried his therapist missed it because she only has his limited side of the story. We were getting serious but I don’t want to move forward in to something serious that could be more permanent unless he is screened for bpd…I’ve heard not to say those kinds of things to people, but then my only alternative is to break up when I know he would want to try and make it work. Is there a safer way I can say that or make a request like that? I think it’s fair considering he wants a life with me and it will greatly affect my life. I would want to ensure he was properly diagnosed and treated otherwise it wouldn’t be very safe.

    The word alexithymia, as you say, roughly translates to "no WORDS for feelings / emotions". It does NOT mean that you can't KNOW your feelings, or that you don't RECOGNIZE your feelings, which unfortunately is how the word often is used. You can identify a flower for its species without knowing or rememberings its name, right? I don't actually think that you can have words for feelings / emotions. A word is a label for a concept, an idea, a thought. You can agree with another that an object should be called a chair by pointing at it and say it should henceforth be called a "chair". The chair that you've pointed at will be the model and prototype for future reference, and whenever the word is used later, it is in reference to that chair. As more objects are called "chair" that aren't identical to the prototype, a more flexible definition is created, while also others are excluded, for example not including all the types of seats in the world. Now, here is the problem: you cannot point at feelings. Feelings are entirely subjective. Sure, people can point at external cues as to how others feel and give -that- a label, but you can never know the experience of the one having the feeling, so you can't be sure that the label you use for their cues is associated with a similar experience in yourself when you show those cues. In summary: we can't have words for that which we cannot have a common reference for. And we cannot describe our experiences by referencing other subjective experiences either - you only ever know your own subjective experience.
