Top Comments of this video!! :3
I was Diagnosed with BPD and My Sister who committed suicide was Bipolar as well as BPD ... I am so glad this channel exists today cuz like you said, back in the early 2000's there wasn't a lot of information regarding these disorders... I wish I would've had the knowledge and compassion I do now... She may be Alive now...π«ππππ€·π½ββοΈ

My roommate in the Navy had BPD, he would make me fail room inspections after I cleaned the room. His little brother committed suicide while he was at my unit and he didn't change much, he wouldn't go to work and would stay in the room playing video games until someone was sent to fetch him. He would also gaslight the people sent go get him telling them he was off and didn't have to work if he wanted. He made my time at my unit terrible because he was always doing something and my psychopathic petty officer 2nd class would use me as a scapegoat for him. I ended up getting autoimmune encephalitis and almost died. He saw me have a seizure right in front of him and didn't call 911. I helped him numerous times when he would spend all his money on things he would never be able to use. Me almost dying got me out of a bad situation that was getting worse.

What I want to see is a video describing what it's like growing up with a bpd sibling. The constant abuse, manipulation, endlessly walking on eggshells and never knowing when the next explosion is coming or what will trigger it. The parents not knowing what to do and just screaming at both of you when all you did was protect yourself from another relentless attack. The damage it does to your self esteem and the social cost of that damage in school and relationships outside the family. The resentment towards your parents for failing to protect you. The resentment towards other siblings who never were targeted to nearly the same extent.
Then growing up hoping that person becomes normal and nicer with age, but they remain violent and cruel. Having to process all that trauma, memory refreshed, and set down firm boundaries with family to make sure that the bpd person will never have contact with you or learn your address in another city, or legally changed name. I didn't watch this whole video, but I watched enough to know her sister didn't make her life hell. She cares too much. After too much abuse you stop caring all together and self preservation becomes the only goal.

A tip for the channel: define the elements of the disorder. Halfway into this video itβs just glossed over, instead focusing on the family struggle. Also, suicidal thoughts are just one of many possible (and not necessary) elements of BPD. This podcast focuses mostly on suicide, addiction, and malpractice, and really is a discussion of that. If one is looking for a good discussion of BPD, this is not it, no offense to the channel itself.

I have a dysfunctional sister-in-law who suffers from BPD in conjunction with Bipolar disorder. It is very hard to understand and accept that she thinks so differently from the rest of the world. It is often like she is from another planet and I don't know which plane she fell from most days. I wanted to listen to this video because I've been trying to support her and understand for the last 20 years. After watching this, I am none the wiser. I think the video should've taken a different format or should've been called something else. It was mostly an awareness campaign for Emotions Matter. Great, invaluable work that they're doing but the information was not helpful to someone close to a person with BPD trying to support them.

In the early 90s there really was insufficient knowledge and appropriate treatment. My older sister was treated for major depression and anxiety, but I always felt like there was something else going on, but I didn't know. I started studying psychology to understand what was going on with her so that I can help her.

So many Christian friends that I dearly loved abandoned me when I most needed them. Some stayed and did their best, but damn, the others I was so close with, and so loved just up and decided to leave our friendship in some stupid effort to push me toward God. I ended up in the hospital worse than Iβd ever been. I almost didnβt make it. And now for the past 5 years Iβve spent isolating and donβt have it in me to truly change that. For some reason deep down inside I have a hope, and if that goes out itβs not out for long. It keeps me going. But sweet God, whoever you are, I need you. Help me. Save me.
