I hear ppl/therapists describe bpd mood swings as lasting days or "even hours" but i can go from laughing uncontrollably to balling uncontrollably in minutes or even seconds.
Are any of you normal? Do you unironically wake up happy and stay happy all day, all week even? I dont think this describes a single person, theres no fucking way. The only mood swings i could see lasting multiple hours or all day is when i have those giga dysphoria days where i cant even leave bed and nothing my bf does helps.
wow youve really got a girl body. youve got no muscle at all on your legs and thin bones.
I ain't know shit about demons but post sauce for picrel
Its me
Kys scrote
what? i didnt mean it as an insult
The moid cant even comprehend that his advances are unwanted
Yeah theres the self sabotaging aspecta to it, i was just focusing on the mood swings.
I dont even wanna get into the other symptoms cuz i have way too many of them.
thats not how i meant it but okay
thinspo like this is a dime a dozen on tumblr or pinterest.
"normal" people don't wake up and stay happy all day/week without interruption. Healthy people experience all emotions they're just able to manage them in a way that doesn't interfere with their life much and don't need medication. Healthy people also experience mood changes when exposed to prompting life events, they usually aren't random or uncontrollable like with BPD
People with bpd really take the diagnostic criteria literally
Nigga im not retarded i know its not supposed to be 100% happy or 100% sad the entire time but i said i will genuinely swap between the two extremes in minutes almost unprompted, just thinking about a weird experience or a bad date i had can just immediately kill my vibe and like listening to a hype song will bring it back immediately sometimes.
If its "bpd" to swap between those moods every hour what the fuck do i have
I mean borderline I think bipolar is just in episodes this is absolutely my normal operating state
I thought borderline personality disorder was more people being manipulative and narcissistic to their partners, while depending on them and external validation for happiness, and being SUPER over sensitive to any sort of perceived snub/criticism and threatening to kill themselves or hurt themselves because of it.
Not really. that's just the type of oversimplification people who hate BPD sufferers like to talk about contributes to the stigma. BPD is more about black-and-white thinking, emotional dysregulation, "splitting", and abandonment issues.
BPD sufferers are not narcissistic although they share some traits. People with BPD have been shown to higher levels of empathy then normal people in some cases. Also pw BPD do commit suicide and hurt themselves, they have a very incident of sucide
BPD is just covert or self sabotaging narcissism. Nothing but dragging others into your mire of misery. pathetic
People need to be clear about what they mean when they say BPD.
Bi-Polar Disorder like what the OP is describing, or borderline personality disorder like the reply is stating. Very different disorders.
this, i thought everyone was talking about bipolar when they said BPD until i learned from this board it was something else
Btw im op and this is my testy thingy
God i bet your pussy is venomous
Seconding this, post pics op.
Histrionic + BPD should mean you’re a 10
Ive been posting too much lately i dont wanna get recognized lmfaoooo
Drop ur disc or something
I am a 10 a pwomise
Sauce on the test?
Picrel needs to FUCKING eat something
>those legs
I can fix her, and by fix her i mean feeding her up to 18bmi and keeping her there.
U can fix me too then
Maybe, i only fix petite cute girls.
Thats meeeee im skinny as hecc but still manage to push myself up to 18 bmi so i dont get yelled at by doctors
Yeah this is how i assumed it would be, i have similar experiences where i have those sad low energy days and just cant seem to do anything, when i get happy its fleeting and short. And i also have those weirdly motivated energetic days where i feel invincible. But if its just a jormal day i could be flip flopping the entire day or be steady.
>Also, going to sleep completely resets my mood. I never wake up the next morning thinking about the same thing I went to bed thinking about.
This used to work for me but lately it hasnt been. I think since i split with my bf and have been sleeping alone, going to sleep doesnt feel like the reset it used to be for me
Yeah u sound bpd, im never sure whether to count to mood swings caused by dysphoric or euphoric moments as they seem to have some reasoning behind them at the very least even if its me overthinking or hyper focusing on the situation making the mood swing worse.

This is more like "bipolar" than "normal" experiences of mood.
I suspect I'm bipolar, because I have mood cycles lasting 2 or 3 weeks wherein I alternate between a high-energy and goal-directed state and a low-energy and anhedonic state.
It's not purely "happy" for a week and then "sad" for a week. Because mania can also be "frustrated that you aren't doing things that feel fullfilling," and depressed can just be "hecking bored and can't imagine anything that would make it better."
And the "energy" part of it is extremely significant and what distinguishes it from other natural and disordered mood states. The high-energy cycle I sleep 5 or 6 hours in a night and then wake up perfectly rested. The low-energy cycle I sleep 7-8 hours in a night and hate the feeling of having to drag my ass to work. And high-energy is accompanied by distractability and social energy and fast-paced thoughts.
And I still have moment-to-moment mood fluctuations in all but the most extreme peaks. Like, even though I'm on an upswing, I can still get hit by something that makes me feel sad for a few hours. But at the extremes, yes, manic-euphoria makes me completely unable to even remember what feeling pain/sadness might be like.
Also, going to sleep completely resets my mood. I never wake up the next morning thinking about the same thing I went to bed thinking about. Broke up with a girlfriend the previous day and cry myself to sleep feeling completely unlovable? Wake up the next day not even thinking about it until I check my conversation history.
not bpd but i have the same mood swings due to BP2 and autism. i don't even get the fun mania and delusions like BP1, i just get happy and excitable, get minorly inconvenienced, and want to jump off a cliff
>i don't even get the fun mania and delusions
Just need to, metaphorically speaking, "jump" when you're at your peak and you'll get there for a bit.
I'm a fan of bingeing an entire anime season and letting suspension-of-disbelief fully dissociate you from the real world. Then you come out of the haze convinced the emotions you feel from the climax of the season are "real" and the boring emotions of being alone in your room are the "fake" ones.
The comedown off that is really rough though, lol. I honestly feel more likely to self-harm at the peak than at the troughs, because "I don't want this feeling to end." Not that I've ever done any self-harm.
What the hell, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder but looking at it I really think I might have borderline personality disorder instead. I have some pretty rapid and extreme mood swings, like one minute I might be super happy and on top of the world and feel amazing about myself and like I'm cute and awesome and then pretty fast I can spiral into thinking I'm a disgusting freak that needs to die and that I'm worthless and terrible at everything and be considering offing myself or doing hard drugs again. My mood swings are pretty tied to dysphoria too like my dysphoria is okay when I'm in a positive mood and I think I look okay and when my mood tanks I feel disgusting and like a man. My sense of self is also pretty shaky and with my partner at one minute I might be all lovey with them and very happy then suddenly think they fucking hate my guts and are actively to abuse me and make me miserable and I'll start fantasizing about leaving to get away from them. I also feel empty and do self destructive risky things and I can be really bitchy and mean sometimes when I feel set off but other times people think I'm like the sweetest person ever when I don't show it. Also that paranoia and loss of contact with reality, I never really knew what caused that but I guess it makes sense, it happens to me sometimes where I feel like really detached and like people are watching me and nothing feels quite right
