Symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder affects someone’s self-image, behavior and moods. It can also disrupt his/her close interpersonal relationships. If someone has this disorder, he/she is often still competent in life, only showing the symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder when a very stressful life event occurs.

Following are the symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder:

• Depression

• Extreme anger or rage
• Aggression
• Feeling misunderstood or mistreated
• Feelings of unworthiness
• Feelings of guilt or being a bad person
• Feeling bored, hopeless, lonely or empty
• Feelings of isolation and disconnection from society
• Attempts at self-injury
• Talk and/or attempts of suicide
• Substance abuse
• Sexual promiscuity and other risky sexual behavior
• Extreme sensitivity to rejection and criticism
• Fear of abandonment (even for brief separations)

If you or a loved one has the above symptoms and think you may have Borderline Personality Disorder, you will need to see a doctor. Assessment for Borderline Personality Disorder will include both a physical and a complete medical history to rule out chances of another health condition being the cause of your symptoms. Because the symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder can masquerade as other mental illnesses, like Bipolar Disorder, as well, your doctor will also want to do a complete mental health exam.
