@drhensays: Why emotions can flip so fast in BPD—and what “splitting” really means. © 2026 Dr Hen Says LLC. All rights reserved. #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #drhensays #animation

arielovely24 :

I don’t think this is splitting . I think this may be reacting to frustration

Dr Hen Says® :

Splitting isn’t manipulation- it’s how the brain processes stress and perceived rejection.

💜 :

true. I cried all day at work cause of some ppl laughing at me lol. It can be the best place then I hate it the next

Gabriel :

Ik ppl are saying tht this isn’t splitting, but it is. Splitting doesn’t always result in sui-thoughts/actions, violence or screaming and crying. Its a person shifting to being perfectly fine at their job, splitting, then saying “i hate this job” and hating everything, when previously they didn’t and probably dont despite what they said. Its the complete black and white beliefs, mood and thinking done within seconds, and it can be for things as small as an early break time denial.

The Number One Gooner :

Hey, I am constantly watching your videos and I think you may need to make another one on the same topic as its important to me as a person with bpd that its accurately represented, right here this all is reasonable and not a lot to ask for especially if she works until a time anyway its expected, splitting for me and a lot of other people can be unreasonable, for example I know my boyfriend is busy right now but he doesnt reply to my messages, I can logically know hes busy but my feelings make it feel like hes treating me badly or not thinking about me at all or having a better time without me which makes me turn that spiraling into a kind of "dislike" towards HIM when just 20 minutes ago he was my absolute everything, this is just me giving my two cents and you probably wont see this but none of this was intended to be taken as an attack either I just wanted to give feedback based on my own personal bpd (which I know isnt the same for everyone)

Teara Hunter :

How do you all know “this isn’t splitting”? Ik this is the internet, but you have to be careful with linear thinking and beliefs. This example is meant to be oversimplified and is O N E example of millions. 🫩

What is splitting

hi Alltoon_Creative :

That’s not splitting, splitting is when you become someone else in n your mind different personalities

❀.ೃ࿔*:･ℜ𝔶☭ :

this isn't splitting at all 💔

𓉸 ۪ ◞ 𝘨𝘢𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘭 . ₊ :

Super duper relatable for me

absolutelyarielle :

The video shows the initial feeling and frustration, how the switch flips even though there was initially praise, the injustice after doing a good job would set me off. It would only go downhill from this interaction and I would be filled with rage afterwards. I’d end up feeling like the person who denied me the thing is intentionally trying to drive me to an outburst so I would then avoid them and now we’re feuding bc I’m internally raging 😭

WorldsNumberOneLOVER :

No because this has been SO bad lately. The amount of times I've cried at work and then been completely fine, or vice versa in FAST succession throws me into such a loop sometimes.

OMG I’M FIRST YAY I LOVE YOUR VIDS BTW 🥹

8-BitFoxo :

full respect to everyone who's working as a cashier or any other customer service job

Abbs :

I asks for more hours today and was told no and I started to cry

HoneyStix_Art :

This makes so much sense. As someone who has bpd and works retail I always feel hot and cold in different interactions

Vier (Crowley’s version) 🍉 :

Wait i felt this on my old job, i hated when i have to wait an hour from my usual break time. Not that i’m self-diagnosing.

💭 :

aagh this is amazing ^_^
