Grief is not a burden to escape, but a bridge we must cross to reach healing. It honors what was lost and clears the way for what can still be found.

What is Borderline Personality Disorder? 💭

An easy way to describe Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is that it’s a mental health condition that makes it hard for a person to manage their emotions, relationships, and sense of self. People with BPD often experience intense mood swings, fear of abandonment, impulsive behaviors, and difficulty maintaining stable relationships. They may feel emotions very deeply and struggle with self-image, sometimes feeling confident and other times feeling worthless.

It’s like having an emotional amplifier—small things can trigger big reactions, and feelings can shift rapidly. Treatment, such as therapy and sometimes medication, can help manage symptoms and improve stability in relationships and daily life.

Here are some key statistics about BPD:
1. Prevalence:
• 1.4% of the U.S. population is estimated to have BPD.
• Some studies suggest it may affect up to 5.9% of people at some point in their lives.
2. Gender Differences:
• Historically, 75% of diagnosed cases were women, but newer research suggests men may be underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed with conditions like PTSD or depression.
3. Suicidality:
• 70-80% of people with BPD will attempt su***de at least once.
• 8-10% die by su***de, making it one of the highest su***de rates among mental health disorders.
4. Comorbidities:
• 85% of people with BPD also have another mental health disorder, such as:
• Depression (60%),
• Anxiety disorders (40%),
• PTSD (30-60%),
• Substance use disorders (35-50%).
5. Treatment & Recovery:
• With treatment, 50% of people no longer meet the diagnostic criteria for BPD after two years.
• After 10 years, about 88% of people experience significant symptom reduction or remission.
