Borderline Personality Disorder

Living with Intense Emotions Can Be Incredibly Painful — But You Don’t Have to Stay Stuck

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is often misunderstood — and often deeply stigmatized. But at its core, it’s about something very human: difficulty regulating intense emotions.

If you live with BPD, you may find yourself overwhelmed by emotional storms that seem to come out of nowhere. One moment you feel deeply connected, and the next, disconnected or rejected. Your sense of self may shift frequently. And the pain of feeling “too much” — or “not enough” — can be exhausting.

This isn’t about being broken. It’s about having a sensitive nervous system that hasn’t had the support it needs to feel safe, stable, and grounded.

What BPD Might Feel Like

You may notice yourself experiencing:

• Intense emotional highs and lows

• Feeling unsure of who you are or what you believe in from moment to moment

• Strong fears of abandonment — real or imagined

• Relationship patterns that swing between closeness and conflict

• Acting impulsively in ways that later cause regret (spending, sex, food, substances)

• Self-harming behaviors or suicidal thoughts

• Feeling empty, numb, or like you don’t exist

• Anger that feels hard to control

• Moments of dissociation — like you’re outside of yourself

These patterns aren’t a sign that you’re hopeless — they’re a signal that you need new tools, new support, and a way to relate to your emotions that helps you feel steadier and more in control.

There Is a Path Toward Healing

The good news? There’s treatment that works.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is the most effective and well-researched treatments for BPD and other emotion-based struggles. It was originally created to support people who felt emotionally out of control — and it has since helped thousands build lives that feel more grounded, meaningful, and manageable.

DBT helps you:

• Learn how to regulate intense emotions without shutting down

• Build healthier, more stable relationships

• Develop mindfulness and self-awareness

• Reduce impulsive or self-destructive behaviors

• Increase your sense of self-worth and personal agency

DBT is also highly effective for people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and substance use — especially when those issues are connected to emotional sensitivity and dysregulation.
