The Role of Childhood Emotional Neglect in Borderline Personality

A Look Inside Borderline Personality Disorder

 

The Role of Childhood Emotional Neglect in Borderline PersonalityA person with borderline personality disorder (BPD) has a lifelong pattern of unstable, unpredictable, and intense moods and relationships while being highly impulsive. If you have BPD, your self-esteem and happiness are highly dependent on the people in your life.

To live with BPD is to live with intense pain and turmoil on a daily basis. You have love-hate relationships with just about everyone in your life at different times. One moment you’re happy and enthusiastic; the next moment you’re upset and feel wronged or betrayed. You have a tendency to idealize your relationships only to devalue them soon after.
