Whoever has this personality disorder already had a predisposition to develop it from an early age, that is, the patient is already born with the disease. Environmental factors only increase its incidence.
We make it clear that the diagnosis is clinical, so we are not here assuming a role that belongs to doctors. In this article, we only bring – as a curiosity – the main signs of the silent Borderline. All points were indicated and discussed by psychologists and psychiatrists. If you are interested, stay with us. Good reading!
What is “silent” Borderline Disorder?
Personality disorders manifest themselves in different ways depending on the conditions. According to Matthew Gemma Karamazov of the Might BPD community, the silent syndrome works by internalizing all emotions in the patient rather than expressing them explicitly. Just because it goes unnoticed, doesn't mean it's any less painful to live with. Find out now what are the main hidden signs.
self-sabotage
Because they feel insufficient and incapable, they often sabotage themselves when they are about to achieve a goal. This behavior was probably developed with neglect and abuse suffered early in life.
suicidal behaviors
To compensate for bad behavior or divert attention from painful emotions, they often resort to self-mutilation, reckless actions, and attempts to suicides.
emotional instability
Feelings change abruptly and dramatically. One hour they are very trusting and loving with people, but suddenly... they feel irritated and unappreciated.
fear of abandonment
They don't deal well with the idea of being neglected or left alone. The fear of abandonment can be so overwhelming that they opt for voluntary isolation, pulling away from people before they abandon them.
intense anger
They can experience intense anger and for no apparent reason when going through a situation that displeases them. When they are extremely irritated, they often use sarcasm to retaliate or become bitter.
It is important to mention that, currently, there are treatments for Borderline Personality Disorder that are able to help patients control their negative emotions and avoid self-destructive.
A specialist doctor should be consulted.
