today we're going to be answering the question of what is the difference
between borderline personality disorder and quiet borderline personality
disorder so stay tuned everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we
talk about the problem but focus on the solution and welcome back to my channel
and if you are new here I'm always making videos to help you out with your
mental health and this week I will be diving into the topic of different types
of mental illnesses so please share these videos because if you struggle
with this mental illness or if you just want to help me spread this message and
increase awareness so people can understand what mental illness is like
like go ahead and share these videos on social media so we can educate more and
more people and maybe they'll might be able to help somebody that they know or
get help themselves so in this video I'm gonna be talking about BPD and quiet BPD
so I've made other videos in the past about borderline personality disorder
it's a very interesting disorder because a lot of people who struggle with it
most of them had some kind of childhood trauma and something to do with
emotional or physical abuse something like that at a very young age so the
reason why I find it interesting is because for a lot of people this could
have been completely preventable whether whether it was the parents or family
members friends whatever happened when they were young age and I think that's a
message to all of us like we as adults or even if you're a teenager watching
this like we need to be better people because we can cause different types of
disorders in other people based on the way we treat them or we neglect them or
whatever the case may be so in the other videos what I've talked about BPD I've
gone through like the nine major symptoms I also made a video about five
other symptoms about emotional dysregulation I will link both of those
in the info card so when it comes to quiet borderline personality disorder
like it's different because you might not notice it you might not notice
somebody in your life has this disorder so a lot of people when they think of
BPD they think of like this outward like lashing out
having like tantrums or crying or just these emotional outbursts or they might
be threatening to hurt themselves or even sometimes even commit suicide like
there's a lot of outward aggression and different things going on with them for
people with quiet borderline a lot of it is internal so when we look at these
symptoms we we can take a few of these symptoms and talk about how they're more
internalized more than their push outwards one of the first ones is
somebody with BPD they might lash out and they might please not play the
victim but they might portray themselves at the victim maybe their brains tell
them that there's a victim and they might tell you like you're the bad guy
you are the problem you're the bad guy you're a terrible person well when it
comes to quiet borderline this is internal this is inward so they might
have these ruminating thoughts that there's a bad person there's a villain
they're the evil person they're the ones who are destroying everybody else's
lives around them and they just beat themselves up constantly
so rather than lashing out outwardly and attacking you they're constantly
attacking themselves next is a big one and and this is something that that
really sucks and it's important to try to recognize signs and symptoms of this
because this next one is impulsive behavior so a lot of people with BPD
they'll have this like outward impulse in pulse of behavior they might go out a
party in my binge drink or have substance abuse and but it's like very
public everybody knows well people with quiet borderline they might do this in
the shadows without people knowing so they might have problems with substance
abuse and other people don't know about it they get home from work or a day of
school or whatever it is and they're abusing alcohol or other drugs or they
might have issues with promiscuity this is something maybe the friends and
family don't know about they also might have self harming behavior and they
cover it up so you might no not know about it if someone in your life is
doing these or they might binge eat and other things that are very impulsive
type of behaviors that are really risky and they're harming themselves not only
physically but also their mind and then next when we think about people with BPD
we think about like this these intense emotions right and some of it is like
very intense anger well this anger again rather than lashing out
it might be inward so kind of going back to the first one it's a lot of beating
yourselves up and being angry at yourself and then this can lead into
some of those other impulsive behaviors like some people when they have a lot of
inward anger they do things to punish themselves this could involve substances
this could involve binge eating this can involve self-harm all these other things
so it's important to kind of recognize if you might be struggling with this
stuff it's important to kind of identify these symptoms okay because you might be
struggling with borderline so there's a lot of people who get diagnosed with
borderline but like it takes a long time because it's quiet now the last thing I
want to say and I meant to say this at the beginning of video I said in all my
videos this week like I'm not a therapist and chances are if you're
watching this you're not a therapist either okay so please please please if
you feel like you struggle with any of these symptoms like let me say this you
should never ever ever ever self diagnose yourself with any of these
things I use these videos as kind of a way to just give you an idea if you like
that sounds familiar that sounds familiar that sounds familiar
go see your doctor or some kind of mental health professional alright so I
recommend seeing a doctor or your therapist or your psychiatrist and work
with them and say hey I think I might be struggling with this but like when
you're doing that when you're talking to a doctor or psychiatrist
I've never locked on to a specific diagnosis like I work at a mental health
treatment center and I see some people like latch on to something and it's like
no you don't really meet that criteria you know I mean so it's important to
kind of work with them like it's a team effort and then you can get down to the
bottom of it and then find the right treatment and like one of the best
treatments for BPD is dialectical behavioral therapy okay it uses a lot of
mindfulness practices whether it's meditation or it's writing different
ways to kind of acknowledge what's happening in the present moment and
working through these difficult emotions so if you would like to work with a
therapist online in an affordable way better help online therapy actually help
