Have you heard of borderline
personality disorder?
Do you know what it is?
Well, I am going to tell you.
Borderline personality disorder
is a mental illness that severely impacts a person's ability to
manage their emotions. This loss of emotional
control can increase impulsivity, affect how a person feels about themselves,
and negatively impact their relationships with others.
There are nine signs of the condition.

This isn’t a condition I suffer from, but I do have a sister who
does. Over the next few Saturdays, I will be writing more about this
condition. Explaining a little more about each of the nine signs.
Sorry about your sister.
ReplyDeleteIf a person has psychotic symptoms, the title Borderline Personality Disorder seems too gentle and not to be taken seriously.
Thank you, I expect many do not understand the condition, I know I don't.
