Restricted, repetitive behaviors, interests, or activities, shown by two of the following:- Repeating certain movements, using objects in a repetitive way, or repeating phrases.- Wanting everything to stay the same, sticking to routines, or following strict patterns in behavior.- Having very specific interests that are much more intense than what is typical.- Being hyper- or hypo- reactive to things you see, hear, or feel in the environment.C. Symptoms need to appear in early childhood, but may not be fully noticeable until later when social situations become more challenging, or they might seem less obvious because of learned coping strategies.D. These symptoms must significantly impact multiple areas of daily life, such as in social situations, work, or other important areas.E. These issues cannot be explained better by a general intellectual disability or global developmental delay. Autism and intellectual disabilities can occur together, but for a diagnosis of both, social communication skills must be lower than expected for the person's overall development.________About Us: The BPD bunch is a YouTube talk show, featuring a panel of people who are in functional recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder.

They may have unusual thoughts, beliefs, or behaviors, and they might struggle with forming close relationships. People with this disorder often feel uncomfortable in social situations and can seem odd or eccentric to others. The DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) STOP Skill - a technique used to help individuals manage overwhelming emotions and distressing situations. STOP is an acronym that stands for:Stop - Pause and take a moment to recognize your current state.Take a step back - Create distance from the situation to gain perspective.Observe - Notice your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings without judgment.Proceed mindfully - Decide on your next steps based on the awareness you've gained.The STOP skill encourages individuals to take a moment to breathe and assess their emotional state before reacting impulsively. By using this skill, they can make more thoughtful and effective decisions in challenging situations, ultimately fostering emotional regulation and healthier responses.Checking the Facts - a DBT skill designed to help individuals assess the reality of a situation and challenge distorted thinking patterns. This skill involves examining the facts surrounding a distressing thought or emotion to determine if it is based on reality or assumptions. It encourages individuals to ask questions like: What is actually happening? What evidence supports or contradicts my thoughts? By clarifying the facts, individuals can reduce emotional distress and make more informed decisions. This process helps combat cognitive distortions, leading to a more balanced perspective and improved emotional regulation. ________ About Us: The BPD bunch is a YouTube talk show, featuring a panel of people who are in functional recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder.

I haven't listened yet, I searched and found, and admittedly fear finds its way in. I am both daughter and mother to amazing women with BPD, and I want to reshape my role as the hated one. I want to be able to love her, as my mom just passed in August, and not be seen ( and used as) the one who gets to be ignored and outcast at any given moment. I need help, tips, a guiding light to be both a loving mother and a human who doesn't belive for a second that I deserve sub par treatment. Hoping.
