This is a personality disorder characterized by a pervasive, long-term pattern of significant interpersonal relationship instability, an acute fear of abandonment, and intense emotional outbursts.People diagnosed with BPD frequently exhibit self-harming behaviours and engage in risky activities, primarily due to challenges regulating emotional states to a healthy, stable baseline.
Common symptoms include an intense fear of abandonment, unstable and intense relationships, a distorted or unstable sense of self, mood swings, chronic feelings of emptiness, inappropriate and intense anger, stress-related paranoia or dissociation, and self-damaging impulsive behaviors like excessive spending, substance abuse, or reckless sexual activity.
