Are You Living a Fear of Abandonment and Borderline Personality Disorder?

The fear of abandonment is one of the biggest and most common issues a Borderline Personality Disorder (or BPD) sufferer has to deal with constantly.

Even in mild borderline patients this abandonment fear is a common thing.

Some sufferers may feel overwhelmed and discouraged by this unrelenting sensation of fear which can make one feel like he or she lives in a hellhole where nobody gives their attention and understanding. This is the reason why most of the borderline sufferers engage in impulsive and self-harming behaviors to, on the one hand make them feel something, and on the other hand to try to get others' attention and support.

These are common issues in borderline patients and there are many people who have to face them all around the world despite the appearance of rarity of this disorder.

Specific environmental factors were found to be responsible for the occurrence of borderline personality, which consists of abuses (sexual, physical, or emotional), neglect, coldness, lack of communication and empathy, emotional blackmail, especially from parents but also from peers and friends in one's childhood or adolescence. This fear of abandonment can be triggered by these negative parental attitudes, sometimes doubled by fear of punishment, neglect, or the fear of intentional wrongdoing from others directed to him or her.

Quite often borderline people have dependent attitudes and behaviors toward others, but this fear of abandonment can sometimes lead one to do certain things which will repel the family members or friends at the smallest interpretation of their desertion.

There is a higher vulnerability in women to develop borderline personality most likely as a consequence of their more sensitive nature, and also as a result of their fragile physic which is easier to be exploited by abusive parents or peers.

Also a mild inability to modulate emotions and behaviors can be found, which leads to fast mood shifts and impulsive behavior.

The good news is that there are new scientific discoveries and new therapies which can help BPD sufferers to gain back their happiness and balance. These therapies are efficient if the patient is dedicated and perseverant in applying the knowledge and strategies in his or her every day life to get over borderline personality and the fear of abandonment. These changes are possible and your gain in personal satisfaction will be tremendous and your family members and your friends will seek your company more often as well.
