Borderline Personality Disorder (BD) is a mental disorder that often leads to problems with emotional stability, relationships with friends or family, and poor self-image (Nairne , 2014). Emotional dysregulation is a person's inability to control their emotions for example; a person will be happy for a while, then suddenly burst into uncontrollable anger. People with BPD have difficulty maintaining relationships and employment because these sudden mood swings scare people away; as a result, they are often alone. Poor self-image is also a very important part of the disorder, because it pushes people to do something they wouldn't normally do. Progress has been made in changing the name of BPD to emotion dysregulation disorder, but it has not been changed in the DSM-5 (NAMI, 2012). BPD was first recognized as a personality disorder by the American Psychological Association in 1980. The disorder is defined as a chronic or long-lasting pattern of behavior that results in significant impairment in social functioning (Nairne, 2014) . People with BPD are very sensitive to rejection, which causes them to react with intense rage or anger. These are their sudden outbursts of anger and rage. They are always afraid of being left alone, but they are the ones who end up leaving people due to their inability to control their emotions. As former BPD sufferer Dr. Marsha Linehan pointed out, BPD people are like patients who suffer third-degree burns. They don't have the emotional skin to deal with what people say to them (Hal Arkowitz, 2011). Borderline people are so sensitive to everything they hear or see that people have to pay attention to their presence. They constantly have different views on people, a m...... middle of paper...... Dr. Marsha Linehan suffered from BPD when she was a teenager, but her condition grew eventually improved and she was able to earn a Ph.D. D and study the disorder that troubled his teenage years. Another hopeful sign for borderlines is that it is the most studied personality disorder (Hal Arkowitz, 2011). In conclusion, borderline personality disorder is a mental illness that severely affects a person's self-perception, emotions, and relationships. BPD not only affects the person suffering, but also those around them. In recent years, many studies have been devoted to helping people with BPD recover from their symptoms and fully recover from this condition. For some people, BPD does not follow them throughout their lives and gets better with age. People with BPD should not be discouraged, because they will receive a lot of help if they accept it..
