Is Borderline Personality Disorder affecting your private and professional life? Do you want to know more about the most frequent Symptoms associated with BPD?

Read on to unveil the nine most common manifestations of BPD!

1. Professional and lay opinions are talking about the most common feature of Borderline Personality Disorder, the fear of abandonment and punishment. These phobias have their roots in childhood or teenage years and stem from negative parent-child relationships characterized by abuse, coldness, rejection, or inconsistent parenting. If divorce comes along with these negative parenting styles, the possibility in the child to develop borderline personality in the young adult years becomes important.

2. This abandonment fear leads to frequent anger and fury episodes. Real or imaginary signs of rejection, disrespect, or maltreatment coming from others are interpreted as signs of abandonment through the lens of past experiences in the home environment.

3. The third most common symptoms in borderline personality are the rapid mood changes. These do not have to lead to anger outbursts with every occasion, however they are difficult to manage and control, thus making one to run into challenges in the everyday activities.

4. The fourth most common sign of borderline personality is the chronic sense of internal void. Some sufferers describe it very well as emotional or inner numbness. If left untreated this emotional state becomes stable and constant as a defensive response to the inner pain, anger, and distress.

5. Fifthly are coming the destructive or potentially destructive behaviors toward the self. Such behaviors can be compulsive shopping, sex, substance abuse like alcohol and drugs, or binge eating. These behaviors are intended to ameliorate negative emotions and distress on the short run, however they maintain and perpetuate the situation on long-term.

6. The sixth specific symptom in borderline personality is comprised by the impulsive behaviors or decisions. These are made without too much weighing and usually without considering the repercussions. Such behaviors may be sudden leaves from relationships, job resignation, or school abandonment and are followed by feelings of remorse or regrets and compensating or betterment attempts.

7. BPD individuals are also facing chaotic relationship mainly as a consequence of the abandonment dread. At the smallest hints or cues reactions of anger and fury are triggered which occasionally will deliver the very thing a BPD sufferer fears, the abandonment.

8. Unhealthy and unadaptive self-perceptions are also frequently found in borderline personality since they emerge in the first years of life. When love, understanding, affection, and bonding are missing in the parent-child relationship, these unhelpful and critique types of self-perceptions will come along.

9. Also as a consequence of the unsupported home environment, young adults will have a tendency to recurrently look back into their past. This tendency stems from a self-protecting mechanism of the brain which frequently reiterates past memories in order to protect the individual from present challenges. However this strategy reinforces the past fears instead of providing a real solution.

But the most important thing you need to remain with from this article is that Borderline Personality Disorder and its associated symptoms are treatable today if specific steps and new mentalities are accepted and implemented in everyday life.
