Helpful resources about Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)


Posts: 44

Some people here might find it very helpful to find useful resources about Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), as there is a connection to what we would call "yandere behavior".

This easy to read article gives a summary of these connections: https://yanderepsychology.carrd.co/

This archived article goes more into detail and also explains numbers and approaches to therapy: https://web.archive.org/web/20120920090826/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1870491-1,00.html

Here are some statements taken from Lorna Smith Benjamin's book "Interpersonal Diagnosis and Treatment of Personality Disorders" that might identify if someone has BPD:

  • "If someone important to me is a few minutes late, I feel abandoned and go into a panic."
  • "If I like someone I have just met, I will reveal the most intimate details about all of my troubles right away."
  • "I have a pattern of doing well in something important (school, job, relationship) and then suddenly dropping it altogether."
  • "I recklessly give in to urges to do things which are sure to get me in trouble - like gambling, overspending, shoplifting, overeating, and so on."
  • "I like to be intimate with people, and if I sense any rejection, I deliberately hurt myself by doing something like cutting or burning myself. Then I feel better." -> rather than hurting yourself, go here.
  • "I can get very anxious, depressed, or irritable and then for no reason suddenly return to normal."
  • "If things are going well for me, it doesn't take much to get me feeling hollow, empty, or bored."
  • "I have huge blow-ups with people over whether they are taking good care of me."
  • "There are times when I cannot tell what is real. I don't know if I am real."

Added to that, Peter Hobson's book "The Cradle of Thought: Exploring the Origins of Thinking" suggests an interesting connection between children with autism and mothers with BPD.

You can also make use of the 40 questions for self-diagnosis by the S.L.A.A. to see if you can consider yourself a love and sex addict.

Feel free to add any resources (articles, videos, books, etc.) below.

Ah, well you know. it is not as scary as it sounds. You actually make statements that are relevant to huge crowds of people. We are relate to being honest and believing people too much. Because many are not used to be in cruelty that is world built upon. When we grow, we ourselves become cruel and as you say, we want love. Love is simplest cure for such hopelessness for yanderes.

I love classical literature and to draw, I can relate to all yandere in the world. email to talk to - [email protected]
