Borderline Personality Disorder is a mental health condition characterised by emotional instability, intense relationships, fear of abandonment, and difficulties with self-image.
People with BPD often experience rapid mood shifts, impulsive behaviours, and a pattern of alternating between idealising and devaluing others. They may feel empty, struggle with anger, or engage in self-harming behaviours.
BPD is complex and often misunderstood. It is not a sign of weakness but a pattern shaped by both biological and environmental factors, such as trauma or unstable early relationships.
Effective treatments exist, such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), which helps individuals develop emotional regulation, coping strategies, and healthier relationships. With support, many people with BPD improve significantly and live stable, meaningful lives.
