Those of us with BPD often think about if one day we would like to have children … a big fear is that we may pass this disorder on to them. I tackle this issue in todays video.

The tiktok dance …. My Facebook:

Today I discuss obsession… but obsession in relationships rather than general obsession.

Today I randomly chat about a few conversations I had with my friends xxx

I am so sorry for being absent these last few weeks. In todays vid I discuss all the things that have been going on in my brain lately. I love you all and have missed you all so much xxx

It can be really hurtful when someone doesn’t like us, especially if they have no valid reason for not liking us! So what should we do when in this situation?

Being discharged from a mental health team or coming to the end of therapy can be really daunting and scary… so what can we do?

Today I discuss what to do when we have our feelings invalidated.

How do we deal with a situation where someone makes up out-right lies about us and tells these lies to those closest to us?

I got asked this question a week or so ago and think it is a great question. I have a strong opinion on this!

Today I discuss how even when everything in our life seems to be ok, when it comes to relationships they can cause havoc in the other areas of our life.   Amazon.com – https://www.amazon.com/Big-Book-Borderline-Personality-Disorder/dp/1936268612/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1542812156&sr=8-1&keywords=the+big+book+on+borderline+personality+disorder Amazon Canada – https://www.amazon.ca/Big-Book-Borderline-Personality-Disorder/dp/1936268612/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1542812221&sr=8-1&keywords=The+Big+Book+on+Borderline+Personality+Disorder Amazon UK – https://www.amazon.co.uk/Big-Book-Borderline-Personality-Disorder/dp/1936268612/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1542812298&sr=8-1&keywords=the+big+book+on+borderline+personality+disorder

Today I discuss why many women with bpd are seen as psychopathic or crazy. Is there any truth in this? Why would people think this?!

Today I talk about how getting older sucks! I recently read a magazine article about Katie Price AKA Jordan and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. She is desperately trying to hold on to her sex symbol status and won’t accept that she is getting older. We ALL have to age and when […]

Today I look at how I differentiate between a crush, my best friend and my favourite person.

What would you do if two of your closest friends, who you do everything with decide to go hang out without you? Hurt? Betrayed? Angry? Today I discuss this.

Today i discuss night terrors, their causes and how to overcome them.

Today I give the names of the 5 winners of the giveaway. I also discuss how I get a lot of messages from people, either top students, amazing athletes, musicians etc who are so depressed and on the verge of quitting.

I finally start to answer this question 6 mins in to vid … but what I explain first is relevant and will help you understand the point Im trying to make!

Christmas is nearly here and I know a lot of you are probably dreading it. Therefore I thought we would start making some plans for the New Year and begin to motivate ourselves!

Please head over to Dr Todd Grande’s channel, cast your vote and ask your question!

Today I had the opportunity to chat with Dr Grande and ask him all of the questions that you requested me to ask. Dr Grande specialises in the field of cluster B personality disorders, as well as trauma and drug and alcoholism just to name a few! His channel is covers everything from mental health, […]

Today I discuss my own experience with this and the affect it has on me even to this day.

Today I discuss how I believe my BPD contributed to my extreme tiredness and also my procrastination!

Today I discuss some of the more embarassing things we do because of our BPD traits!

Today I discuss the nee website that is launching soon, empowerment and I try to answer some questions! Dont forget to go to my other video about asking a Dr a question! If you have a question for Dr Grande please ask it in the comments section of that video! Xxx

Today I discuss whether those of us with BPD are highly intuitive, perceptive and extremely empathetic OR whether we lack empathy.

How often do we go out for a special occasion, whether it’s someone’s birthday or a wedding etc, and we have a meltdown and cause a huge scene, ruining the night for everyone there. Why do we do this and what can be done about it?

I’m considering doing a series of vids on spirituality – this could include topics such as reincarnation, meditation, visioning, journaling. The wonderful thing about spirituality is you choose your own path – there is no right or wrong. You do not even have to consider yourself spiritual to benefit from spiritual practices such as mindfulness […]

I had an opportunity today to chat with my daughters class teacher and give him any information that helps him gain a better understanding of my daughter. It felt really freeing to be honest…I spent so many years being dishonest and today I don’t need to be. Opening up with someone can be really enpowering.

Today I discuss RAD and whether or not BPD could be the adult version of this disorder.

If a partner has a best friend if the opposite sex (or same sex if they are homosexual) – can they be trusted? Is it ok? Or will it send us crazy?

Due to our BPD traits can we simply have casual sex? Or do we get too emotionally involved? Or maybe we find casual sex easier than intimate sex. Today I discuss this and try to answer the question.

Today I discuss the meds Ive been on – the ones that have worked and the ones that haven’t.

More and more of us are looking at our diets and trying to live a healthier life – a variety of fruit maybe one thing we try to include daily. But…did you know that the innocent looking grapefruit actually has hidden dangers – one of them being that it interacts with certain medications! Today I […]

Today I discuss when we (those of us with BPD) decide we want to get back with an ex – what should we do and what should we not do?

Today I consider something that has played on my mind for many years – could the reason I am the way I am today have something to do with an experience in a past life?

Today we have a guest doing a video for my channel. Cory is on her recovery journey from BPD and is someone I have much respect for. I hope you guys enjoy her video and don’t forget to check out her channel! Link Below : https://www.youtube.com/user/featherbullet1983

A quick vid today guys as Lottie is refusing to let me film!

I get asked this question a lot. Unfortunately there are times when a person with BPD leaves a genuinely loving and supportive partner. It is these partners that I hear from, asking me how they can persuade their ex to come back. Today I discuss this topic.

I have had multiple messages from people in the same situation – they have told a lie to someone they love and now regret it but are too scared to open up and be honest in case their loved one abandons them.

Today I do 2 video requests. Whose fault is it when we feel awful? If we struggle with pain from our past and therefore lash out at family members – are we entitled to? Should cut toxic people out of our lives? Yes! How do we do that?

Did you know that 95% of our brain activity happens at an unconscious level. For those of us with mental health issues, BPD, addiction etc. this is HUGE. We are literally being run by a mind that we are not even aware of!

Today I discuss law of attraction. I discuss it in religious, spiritual and scientific terms. I personally have experienced law of attraction and today I share that with you.

We can be left with so much guilt and shame when we see the hurt that our BPD causes our family. Our families just want us to be well – but often when we see how hurt they are we can get so caught up in the guilt that we forget to focus on the […]

How do you gently but firmly let someone with BPD know that they need to try and stop getting your attention? Tgis very much depends on the relationship you have with the person with BPD and in what way they are causing you to feel as if you have had enough.

In todays vid I discuss how we can have our feelings invalidated and the negative affect it has on us. I also discuss how loved ones can validate how we feel and the importance of this in helping us to self regulate our emotions.

Those of us with BPD often find that we copy other peopes look, personality and even behaviour. Why do we do this? What is the reason behind it?

Today I discuss how we tell the difference between being rightfully upset over something or whether we are just being overly sensitive. Do we isolate because we are generally busy or are we isolating on purpose? What about when we have a partner who constantly blames our BPD for our symptoms?

Do people with BPD suffer with forms of psychosis? Today I discuss this aswell as Dissociation. A BPD trait is feeling paranoid and/or out of touch with reality. Dissociation is our brains way of protecting us from emotional pain. It is often formed in childhood due to trauma…but in adulthood it only causes us to […]

4 vid requests today. 1st – good jobs or career choices for those of us with BPD. 2nd – Feeling misunderstood and getting frustrated and impatient at others. 3rd – Putting our guard up to protect ourselves 4th – What led to my suicide attempts.

3 vid requests in one today. 1st vid discusses how we can lash out in a complete rage and what we can start to do about this. 2nd vid discusses the fact that most people can tick some of the BPD trait boxes at some point in their lives. 3rd vid discusses teenagers with BPD […]

Today I do 2 video requests – 1. Having an F.P (Favorite person), what’s healthy and what is not. 2. How Fear of abandonment can manifest in us. Don’t forget to click the link below and sign up to be notified of personal appearances, events etc. The more of you that sign the more likely […]

Today I discuss how it feels to see people that we used to hang around with – back when things were bad. Once we are in recovery how do we cope when seeing ex-friends etc.?

Those of us with BPD can behave in such a way that loved ones are left feeling helpless. Today I try to help loved ones understand the nature of BPD and give tips on how they can take care of themselves.

Today I discuss the BPD trait Unclear or Unstable self-image. Many of us struggle with this, to the point where we don’t know who we are. We wear a ‘mask’ and adapt to our surroundings, desperately trying to fit in, but to the point where it is detrimental to ourselves. Below is the link so […]

I discuss how the different traits of BPD can impact our relationships, causing them to be unstable. Fear of abandonment, black and white thinking, unclear self image – they all affect our relationships.

Main vid starts at about 5 mins 50 secs! Today I discuss how I knew I had something wrong as a teenager – but others didn’t agree, thinking I was hormonal.

Today I discuss 4 different topics in one video. 1st: Feeling ashamed and embarassed after an outburst. 2nd @ 7.50 mins: My recovery experience – how I was then to how I am now. 3rd @ 17.45 mins: Partners dealing with a jealous bpd partner and 4th @ 22.27mins: Toxic people in our lives.

Today I discuss what is going on for me at the moment – catastrophising over two kittens that I don’t even have yet!

Today I discuss 2 separate topis – how those of us with BPD freak out over the smallest change and then trichomania, which involves picking our hair or skin.

I believe when we think we are experiencing boredom, it is actually the BPD trait chronic feelings of emptiness. We can all experience this trait in different ways.

Today I brieftly discuss the 9 traits of BPD and how it is possible to recover from this devastating mental illness.

Fear of Abandonment is a core trait of BPD, although lots of people who don’t have BPD do still have this trait. Today I discuss my fear of abandonment and a few skills on how to overcome it.

Today I finally got my flip chart out to do a little brain workshop with you! I discuss the Limbic System (amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus) and the pre-frontal cortex and cortisol.

A lot of us can find ourselves in a vicious cycle of being in and out of hospitals – how do we break this cycle?

Two vids in one today guys. I will be discussing the intense rage of us with BPD and also discussing the pros and cons of setting up your own mental health YouTube channel.

Imposter syndrome is so common – it is when we feel like we are an imposter, a fraud and we fear that we are going to get found out.

It’s that time of year where ‘everyone’ seems to be going out and having the best time or buying the best presents – and we can be taken over with a fear of missing out – we want what they have. We forget a lot of what we see on social media is an illusion […]

What is the difference between a crush and being obsessed with someone? When has the line been crossed?

Our fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, bad self image and paranoia all add to how we can perceive something to be rejection. And rejection hurts – a lot!

In this video I explain the HPD traits and then discuss the similarities and differences between HPD and BPD.

Today I answer a few questions raised in my last video on Narcissistic personality disorder.

Comparing the 2 cluster b personality disorders – I look at both the similarities and the differences.

There are lots of similarities between these 2 personality disorders – but there are also some key differences. Today I discuss them in this video.

I apologise that my little girl is babbling in the background! I will make sure she is asleep next video! In this video I discuss the various traits of the 10 different personality disorders.

I have always wanted to know the ending to films – the ending to books etc. Only then can I relax and enjoy what I’m watching/reading. Also – I absolutely can NOT watch anything sad – not even cartoons! I am really sorry guys but I repeat the story of the hippogriff in this video […]

I used to think a partner could fix me and make me better…so long as they did what I wanted them to do. If they did something that upset me I would threaten to self-harm – if they still didn’t listen to what I wanted I would then go ahead and self-harm and then I […]

An impulsive reckless behaviour that we may exhibit might be sleeping with strangers. We want to feel loved and secure and often mistakenly think sleeping with someone is the answer to that – which is never is. In fact it more often than not makes us feel so much worse.

Can cannabis be used to medicate our BPD?

People  with borderline often have another disorder – whether it’s depression, anxiety or  all of them. Panic attacks are scary – but our body is reacting normally – the problem is when we perceive something to be a threat – and it is not a threat. Our anxiety is not justified.

I have had a lot of people ask me about this so thought I would do a video on everything from deciding to have a baby, too pregnancy and afterwards.

There are some channels on BPD out there that paint us in a really negative light. Here is my advise on this subject.

With BPD we have a fear of abandonement, we have low self esteem – and we have intense emotions – it’s no wonder we start feeling jealous and then acting on it. We really do need to learn to rationalise things though because our jealousy and clinginess often pushes those we love away.

I’ve finally persuaded my Mum to join me in a video!  in this video I ask her questions and she advises both famiily members of those with BPD and also those with BPD.

What is the difference between a low mood and depression? How does depression appear outwardly. I forgot to mention in the video that sometimes .I would literally feel nothing when I was depressed – I was numb inside.  Often  when we are depressed we do not even know we are depressed.  If you think you […]

Do I believe in the label of Borderline Personality Disorder? Should we get diagnosed or are we better without being labled?

We can read so many negative points to having BPD – it’s about time we started to look at the positives – and they are there! We need to focus more on them.

There are friends who don’t understand BPD and ‘friends’ who just don’t want to understand it.  I discuss the differences in this video – and what makes a good friend and what doesn’t.

I could get attactched to places as well as people.  When I would be separated from someone or some place I was attactched too I would be filled with anxiety.

When I googled this topic  all I could find was info on people with bpd being the abuser. A lot of times it is the person with bpd that gets abused though.

I used to be consumed with loneliness and I really didn’t believe I would ever feel differently. I was so alone and so desperate and yet I didn’t know what to do to escape this feeling.

I know how hard it is being a new Mum especially when the borderline personality disorder is not being managed. Lack of sleep, bad food choices and extreme emotions all play a big part, I discuss in detail the problems we have and ways we can help ease them.

I have always been a people pleaser and always wanted to be the ‘perfect partner’. But when they were not the perfect partner back I would be resentful and angry.

Most people feel angry at some point in their lives – it becomes a problem though when we can not control this anger. I discuss some coping strategies in this video.

Throughout my life I have had many embarassing situations .  My BPD caused me such intense emotions and I did not know how to control them – and it didn’t matter who was around.

My whole life I have been an open book and told everyone everything aboutmyself – this has caused me so much hurt in the past. Today I am selective (believe it or not considering I have a TY channel!) with who I share information with and what information I share.

There are ‘people’ that say c-ptsd is the same as BPD cormorbid with PTSD. I discuss the similarities and the differences in this video.

There have been studies done looking at both the differences and similarities between men and women with Borderline Personality Disorder. I discuss these differences in this video.

Hindsight is an amazing thing.  Back when I was 14 I thought I had met the love  of my life and he could do no wrong.  It is only looking back now that I can see the relationship for what it was – abusive and unhealthy.

I have fabricated stroies most my life so people like me. I would also agree with anything anyone said just so they would accept me. I didn’t have my own opinion – and if I did I’d keep it to myself. In the end I didn’t even know what stories were true and which ones […]

All mental health has stigma attatched but for some reason BPD has a  bigger stigma attactched!

The way I would interpret what people would say had a big impact on the way I would then react and behave. So why do we perceive things differently to non-BPD’s?

Without meaning to do us Borderlines alienate ourselves from other people and cause them to think badly of us? #stigma #mentalhealth #bpd #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #bpdstigma

Are Borderlines all compulsive liars? Why is there a link between BPD and lying?

I have been in this vicious cycle many times and it is so hard to break the cycle – but it is possible.  If the relationship is really unhealthy it is important you learn to break the cycle.

We are living in a world where we are constantly hearing about terror  attacks.  This can either heighten our anxiety that is already there or give us anxiety if we don’t have it. How can we manage this?

If you are having suicial thoughts and you do not feel you can keep yourself safe please go to your local A&E, your doctor, a family member or friend.  Do not isolate and stay on your own.

Social media can be addictive and also make us feel mixed emotions and less than.  I discuss the negatives of bpd here.

Impulsive Reckless Behaviour is a trait of BPD. When we think of this we think of drink, drugs, sex etc. This is not the only way it manifests though.

I got asked what my opinion is regarding self-diagnosis and I discuss that in this video.

What happens when a ‘high-functioning Borderline’ can not function?  Also – is there even such  thing as a high-functioning borderline?

I have done this video for a guy who messaged me. He was bullied and was shot and ended up in a coma.  Thankfully he survived but is now really struggling with his mental health.

More and more people are feigning having a mental health illness – why is this?

Just like BPD manifests itself in different ways eg. extrovert, quiet bpd etc. there are also different levels of BPD which I discuss in this video.

The thought of recovery scared me to start with – BPD was my life – it is all I knew.

A lot of people have a fear around mental health units and would never even consider admitting themselves on to a ward voluntarily! But could this attitude acctually stop us getting the help we need?

Once someone with BPD starts therapy, partners can often hope to notice changes within weeks – unfortunately it is not that simple.

I have heard this time and time again – Borderliners are wild in bed! But how true is this and if true why is this?

So often our emotions become so intense that we just react suddenly without worrying about the consequences.

Sorry this video wasn’t out last night guys – I have spent the past few days vomiting and sleeping! Hope you are all well xxx

Today I discuss how my therapists, psychologists and group therapy helped me but also when something isn’t working.

How do our parents feel about our BPD? Do We blame them? Can we talk to them about it?

I believe BPD is partly genetic and partly due to our upbringing. I was asked if I was worried that I will pass it on to my kids.

We can suffer with black and white thinking and push our inlaws away – how can we cope with this especially if they don’t  know we have BPD.

How do you go about getting help for BPD if you think you may have it but don’t yet have a diagnosis?

Sorry the sound isn’t great in this video – I mustn’t have connected the mic properly. Throughout nearly all of my relationships I would test my partners to see if they loved me – a lot of the time they weren’t even aware that I did these tests!

Why would we suffer with hypochondria? Could it be because we are crying out for attention?

Nobody likes to admit that we can do these things – but unfortunately I have done all of them.  I do not believe it makes us bad people though – we act in desperation.

Believe it or not BPD has some positives! The deep love we feel is one of them. I did not want to lose those feel-good feelings when I came in to recovery.

Some people just do not believe in Mental Health unfortunately and this video discusses your options if one of those people include a family member.

I was one of the worlds best at making excuses not to go out. This  can become very isolating though and unhealthy.

I often here from men saying their bpd wife/girlfriend has cheated on them and they don’t know what to do.

BPD and Bipolar can seem very similar at a first glance – here I discuss the similarities and differences. I am no expert on bipolar however and if you think I may have gotten something wrong please feel free to tell me and I will correct it in another video!

Considering how many people suffer with BPD it is surprising what a high number of people are actually misdiagnosed before being diagnosed as having borerline personality disorder. Here I discuss some of the reasons for this.

There are a few different theories on the cause of BPD which I discuss here.

For years I hated myself and recovery from this was a slow process – but it is possible as today I know longer hate myself.

I have previously done videos on meds but decided to recap on things as I have been asked a few time to do a ‘medication video’.

I get asked a lot if people with BPD or mental health issues should be having children. I would say yes – but support is so important. I was under a special team of midwives called the Sunshine Team and they helped me get through my pregnancy safely.

I used to feel like I was on a complete high at times – times when I hadn’t actually taken anything. I would be completely hyper – but eventually my mood would crash and it was awful.

When should you tell a new partner you have a mental health issue – or should you even tell them at all? If you do tell them – how should you do that?

Should we tell our kids about our mental health and if so how do we do it?

How do we stop ourselves taking our anger out on our kids?

I always needed to be liked – I couldn’t bare the thought of someone not liking me – and I would go to extreme measures to get them to like me!

I seriously thought I was like Peter Pan. I just did not feel like I had grown up at all. I felt like a lost child stuck in an adults body.

There were times when I would try to develop my own way of recovery by fixing on things. When I did this I would distance myself from my loved ones and be quite cold and cut off from them.

When I broke up with someone I could be devestated one minute only to have completely moved on the next. Why do we do this?

I started dissasociating at a young age and the memory loss soon followed – both short term and long term memory loss.

Living with black and white thinking can leave those around us on eggshells as they never know when we are going to ‘split’.

Here I discuss some of  the issues we have with sex – intimacy, promiscuity, low self esteem etc. We can also use porn as a way of getting our needs met without the worry of intimacy!

I can remember the feeling of betrayal and deep hurt I felt when I discovered an ex watched porn.

I always felt different and could be in a room full of people and still feel lonely.

I could be so cold to the people whom I was supposed to love the most.

I was like a chameleon for  years – constantly trying to adapt to be like others around me – to the point I didn’t even know who I was or what I liked.

I used to have real issues around sex which I explain in this video.

What if someone you love who you either think has BPD or has been diagnosed refuses to get any help? What if this person is a parent? What are your options?

What if you have some of the BPD traits but not enough to get an actual  diagnosis? Would DBT help?

How does the ‘monthly moods’ effect you differently if you have borderline personality disorder?

I always struggled in the work place. I used to feel people were against me a lot, especially other women. I struggled to hold down a job.

In this video I discuss my childhood as well as trying to answer this question.

There was a time I couldn’t leave my home. I hated myself and I isolated. Life is not like that for me today luckily so I know there is a way out.

I was an extrememely jealous person who would cling on to both partners and also friends!

Do all BPD parents damage their children? Is this a general rule or in extreme cases?

I have personal experience with this as I have been asked by my children what are the scars on my arms. Obviously I can not tell you exactly what to say or even if how I deal with it the right way but this video explains how I tackle this subject.

Question 1: Is only 6 months of DBT worth it? Question 2: How do people with BPD deal with being broken up with and also how do they break up with others?

I used to HATE the fact that a partner had a past. The thought that they had been with anyone else (even though it was before I’d ever met them!) made me feel really angry at them!

In this video I discuss how  I felt before I had a diagnosis, how and when I got a diagnosis and how it made me feel after.

With BPD we can have times where we start to feel normal – and then the low hits and we are unable to function.

Do people with BPD cheat more than other people? Can the BPD make a person cheat? What should you do?

Do Borderliners get  rejected more than most people, or does it just feel that way? How did I cope with rejection and how do I cope today?

Quiet Borderlines express their intense emotions differently to someone who is a ‘normal’ BPDer!

If you are pregnant and the BPD is not being managed chances are you are going to struggle. Do not feel guilty or ashamed by this — instead talk, talk, talk and get the help you need.

I keep getting asked what meds I am on.  I decided to do a video on it to finally answer people BUT I must point out that what works for me might NOT work for you! Also, I am not a doctor!! I can not tell you what meds will work well for you!

I use a chart to explain BPD. I have done a similar video ages ago but thought I would update and re-do it!

I talk about the games I would play to try and hunt out ‘evidence’ that my partner was cheating!

In this video I discuss borderline personality disorder and sexuality…and my issues!  

What do Mums, Dads, siblings of people with Borderline Personality Disorder go through?

I do not know if many others have suffered with this but I did for years so thought I would do a quick video on it to see if anyone else can identify!

Today I talk about what my friendships were like when I was struggling with BPD and how my friendships are nowadays.

What does a genuine loving partner of someone with BPD go through and what should they do  – stay and support their partner or walk away?

I have received so many comments from people who are truly desperate and feel so alone and I felt compelled to do this  video. I want you to know you are NOT alone – I even looked up statistics to see just how huge BPD is! I feel on a bit of a mission now […]

When I was first diagnosed with BPD I was so scared that this was it – this was how the rest of my life would be.  Luckily that wasn’t the case – bpd is treatable and manageable and you can go on to lead a happy fulfilling life. Plus you get to meet my boyfriend […]

I often felt like I literally had a beast that lived inside of me.  When I had an ‘episode’ I would turn in to the most vile, nasty person…and yet that is not who I was.  I have now managed to ‘tame my beast’ with the  help of learning skills – and I know that […]

In this video I hope to explain to loved ones of someone with BPD just what it is like to live with on a daily basis.

In this video I discuss how family members of people with borderline personality disorder can deal with the bpd sufferer and what is helpful and unhelpful.
