BPD Symptoms

You often think you’re going crazy. You think to yourself, “What’s wrong with me?”

Living with BPD

Your moods are all over the place and you have no idea what “sets you off”, but what you do know is that your emotions feel so overwhelming- like, so intense that they literally take over. When you feel something, you really f*cking feel it. Because of this, you’ve been told that you’re “too sensitive” or are a “Drama Queen”. You don’t want to lose control of yourself; be unstable… But, when you’ve tried to let other people know just how bad you feel, you’ve done stuff that you later regret.

Relationships with Borderline Personality Disorder

It’s hard for you to trust other people because if you do, they may leave you. That’s what happened before. So you keep that protective wall up and “test” the people in your life- your family, partner, friends. You question those relationships because you wonder who would actually want to be around you.

Your whole life feels… out of control.

The last thing you want to do is to push others away, yet they don’t get it. You just want people to understand; to know that you don’t want to act like a crazy person. You only want to feel better, but don’t know how.

They don’t get what it’s like to have such raw emotional pain—

  • the anger that’s like a tornado;

  • the consuming anxiety & fear that the people you love the most don’t really love you;

  • feeling so unbelievably sad that it takes everything you have to stop crying;

  • the non-relenting guilt for… being you…

Philadelphia BPD Therapist

As a DBT Therapist, I help people who feel their lives have become unmanageable.

I help individuals whose powerful emotions feel unmanageable & unpredictable; are involved in toxic or intense relationships that resemble real-life soap operas; are ashamed of things they’ve done before & wish they could take back; have problems keeping relationships because they’re afraid of being rejected or abandoned, and struggle with knowing who they really are or where they belong.

Being diagnosed with BPD doesn’t mean you’ll be “Borderline” for the rest of your life.

Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment

I know it seems impossible to believe that things can get better. It probably feels incredibly hard to reach out for help when trusting other people has not worked before. You may have been told that you “overreact” or that what you’re feeling is wrong. I’d also guess that when you’ve attempted to cope with feeling miserable, your behavior was misunderstood and labeled as “manipulative” or “attention-seeking”.

Here’s the thing—

I get it.

It makes sense to me that you don’t want to open up to someone, especially when more than likely your experience has taught you that others just expect you to “try harder” or to “be more positive”, which hasn’t been helpful.

There is an effective treatment for BPD

I totally get how sometimes life circumstances just suck and changing how you think about the crappy stuff doesn’t make you feel any better. In therapy, I’ll help you to understand those big emotions you’ve been experiencing, by learning how to effectively manage & tolerate them skillfully, instead of judging yourself for those feelings or reacting in ways you’ll later regret. You can learn how to improve the relationships with the people you care about the most, without pushing them away or sacrificing your self-respect.
