@emilyt_therapy: BPD is one of the diagnoses I think is misunderstood the most. I hear people describe someone with BPD as manipulative, abusive, attention-seeking, or “too much” all the time. While people with BPD can absolutely engage in unhealthy behaviors (just like anyone else), the diagnosis itself doesn’t mean those things are true. BPD is rooted in emotion dysregulation, attachment, and nervous system sensitivity. Many of the reactions people judge are happening because someone’s emotional brain is firing much faster than their thinking brain—not because they’re trying to hurt other people. That doesn’t mean accountability goes away. It doesn’t. But understanding why something is happening allows us to respond more effectively than stigma ever will. The good news? BPD is highly treatable. People recover, build healthy relationships, and create lives they genuinely enjoy every single day. What do you wish more people understood about BPD? ⬇️ #bpdtherapist #bpdtiktok #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #bpd #bpdrecovery

I lost my 43 yo "little" brother 4/5/2020, as a result of untreated BPD. He DID NOT "commit S", he lost his battle against a disease.

And is this something that occurs often in the neurodivergent community?

I’ve been told I might have BPD by my psychiatrist, do you have any advice on what I should do to see if I actually have it? All she said was she thinks I could definitely have it but she couldn’t diagnose me with it and I’d need therapy, but is there a specific kind of therapist I should look for or just start with a normal local one?

I don’t understand how we’ve come to call it borderline personality disorder when it has more to do with emotional regulation than someone’s personality ?
