Borderline personality disorder, also called: BPD, emotional dysregulation disorder, is a mental disorder characterized by unstable moods, behavior, and relationships. The cause of borderline personality disorder isn't well understood. Diagnosis is made based on symptoms: emotional instability, feelings of worthlessness, insecurity, impulsivity, and impaired social relationships.

You may hear other names for BPD, such as:

• Emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD)
• Emotional intensity disorder (EID)
• Borderline pattern personality disorder

It's your choice which term, if any, you use. People have very different views on BPD and there are ongoing debates about the diagnosis of personality disorders. Some people find a BPD diagnosis helpful or validating. Some find it unhelpful or stigmatizing.

It’s very common for those that suffer with borderline personality disorder to have suicidal thoughts and experience mental health problems. The 988 lifeline is open to call or text day and night. They are open 24 seven and have free licensed counselors to be able to help with any mental health crisis. You can also text 741-741 to Talk to a crisis counselor
