A person with a borderline personality disorder
often experiences a repetitive pattern of disorganization
and instability in self-image, mood, behavior and close
personal relationships. This can cause significant
distress or impairment in friendships and work. A person
with this disorder can often be bright and intelligent,
and appear warm, friendly and competent. They sometimes
can maintain this appearance for a number of years until
their defense structure crumbles, usually around a
stressful situation like the breakup of a romantic
relationship or the death of a parent.

Symptoms
Relationships with others are intense but stormy and
unstable with marked shifts of feelings and difficulties
in maintaining intimate, close connections. The person may
manipulate others and often has difficulty with trusting
others. There is also emotional instability with marked
and frequent shifts to an empty lonely depression or to
irritability and anxiety. There may be unpredictable and
impulsive behavior which might include excessive spending,
promiscuity, gambling, drug or alcohol abuse, shoplifting,
overeating or physically self-damaging actions such as
suicide gestures. The person may show inappropriate and
intense anger or rage with temper tantrums, constant
brooding and resentment, feelings of deprivation, and a
loss of control or fear of loss of control over angry
feelings. There are also identity disturbances with
confusion and uncertainty about self-identity, sexuality,
life goals and values, career choices, friendships. There
is a deep-seated feeling that one is flawed, defective,
damaged or bad in some way, with a tendency to go to
extremes in thinking, feeling or behavior. Under extreme
stress or in severe cases there can be brief psychotic
episodes with loss of contact with reality or bizarre
behavior or symptoms. Even in less severe instances, there
is often significant disruption of relationships and work
performance. The depression which accompanies this
disorder can cause much suffering and can lead to serious
suicide attempts.


Intense unstable relationships in which the borderline
always ends up getting hurt. Repetitive self-destructive
behavior, often designed to prompt rescue.
Chronic fear of abandonment and panic when forced to be
alone.
Distorted thoughts/perceptions, particularly in terms of
relationships and interactions with others.
Hypersensitivity, meaning an unusual sensitivity to
nonverbal communication.
Impulsive behaviors that often embarrass the borderline
later.
Poor social adaptation: in a way, borderlines tend not to
know or understand the rules regarding performance in job
and academic settings.
the absence of psychosis (i.e., the ability to perceive
reality accurately)
Impaired ego integration - a diffuse and internally
contradictory concept of self. Kernberg is quoted as
saying, "Borderlines can describe themselves for five
hours without your getting a realistic picture of what
they're like."
Vulnerability vs invalidation active passivity (tendency
to be passive when confronted with a problem and actively
seek a rescuer) vs apparent competence (appearing to be
capable when in reality internally things are falling
apart) unremitting crises vs inhibited grief.

Ok well if you arent me then im sure that bored you to
death or you probably gave up but Im just putting all this
on here so that I can come back and look at it.
