Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is
characterized by a pattern of instability in interpersonal relationships,
self-image, and emotions. Here are 10 signs of BPD:
1. **Intense Fear of Abandonment**: Overwhelming
fear of being left alone or abandoned, leading to frantic efforts to avoid real
or imagined separation.
2.
**Unstable Relationships**: Relationships that are intense and volatile, often
swinging between idealization and devaluation.
3.
**Identity Disturbance**: A markedly unstable self-image or sense of self,
leading to frequent changes in values, goals, or career aspirations.
4.
**Impulsivity**: Engaging in impulsive behaviors such as substance abuse,
reckless driving, binge eating, or risky sexual activities.
5.
**Self-Harm**: Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, threats, or
self-mutilating behavior like cutting.
6.
**Emotional Instability**: Intense and rapidly changing moods, such as episodes
of severe depression, irritability, or anxiety.
7.
**Chronic Feelings of Emptiness**: Persistent feelings of emptiness or boredom.
8.
**Inappropriate Anger**: Intense, inappropriate anger or difficulty controlling
anger, leading to frequent outbursts or physical fights.
9.
**Paranoia or Dissociation**: Temporary stress-related paranoid thoughts or
severe dissociative symptoms.
10.
**Unstable Self-Image**: Significant shifts in self-perception, leading to
sudden changes in opinions, values, or plans.
These signs collectively contribute to
significant distress and impairment in social, occupational, and other areas of
functioning.
