What does living with borderline symptoms feel like?
I am researching BPD , and every time I search "What does BPD feel like" I see the website say that it feels like "Feeling with no skin" or something like that. However, I feel like it doesn't really have a good explanation as to what a person can or would feel.
For example, does it make sense in your head when you "split"? in regard to something? Like, can you rationalize why you become so polarized on it? Does it ever come off as strange or concerning how fast you were willing to change your opinion
What role does a "favorite person" play in a BPD individual's life. If that person were to leave, what would be the reaction? Is it possible to be calm, or accepting of that person leaving?
Are there BPD "Episodes"? Where they rapidly get worse or better? Can BPD get worse at night?
If there are other experiences you want to share, I really am open to hearing it, I am really curious about these things. Sorry if I could not articulate myself well enough.
