Can Bpd people consider suicide?

[submarinedownsea]

Borderline is a disorder who puts u on a rollercorster of emotions, feelings, toughts and actions. One hour ur sick and want to die but in another one ur just doing okay. I have it, and i really want to ctb, but i ask myself if its valid for me to do it, im not always thinking abt it but the feeling dosent stop, im better, but dont metter what sometimes i really want to do it. But i fear im gonna regret it, that its not me and im going crazy. What u guys think?

Fellow BPD haver here. So, I often have episodes of extreme suicidal ideation, sometimes followed by episodes of total euphoria. One moment I'll be planning to hop off a bridge— the next I'm drinking and having a good time with my family.

While it's true that our emotions are heavily unregulated, random, and extreme — I do not believe it makes our desires any less valid. I do encourage the idea of waiting a bit to see if you're in a heavy episode, to avoid doing something you might not do outside of those circumstances, but there is also a reality I acknowledge:

BPD is lifelong. It can get better with treatment — and plenty of people lead normal lives after DBT therapy, but there is also a chance that it may not get better. That these tortuous, constantly fluctuating emotional extremes, could be there for the rest of our lives.

What we choose to do with that information is our personal responsibility. But no matter what, you are not crazy. You are struggling and that is okay. Your feelings are not invalid simply because they work differently than others'.

Bpd is a rollarcoaster and feeling this way with Bpd makes everything intense, and it's okay that the urges come and go. It doesn't make you any less of who you are, it just means you feel deeply. That fear of regret is normal, but it doesn't invalidate your feelings they're real, valid, and yours. I get it, and I'm here with you in that.

Bpd is the most painful snd cruel mentsl illness to have. Im not gonns site sources but you can Google them. Its logically it mske someone suicidal. We us thst have it are used to it we are conditioned so it doesnt feel as cruel as it objectively is. If you tske a happy person and give rhem bpd they will break down fast. So you dont need to feel bad for the dissonance of feeling its not bsd enough to consider suicide becude trust me if bpd isnt s reason to feels suicidal nothing is

Fellow with BPD here. Is really tiresome to deal withba Rollercoaster of emotions. When disregulated can be hard to with.

Cam be bad provoked or unprovked , for example had a situation from a coworker and felt i needed to die rn, sh. Was a bad person overall. Left for work and had thoughts that his freinds were watching me or followed me to my house, didnt sleep till 4 am of the amount of stress.

Some cases can be hallucinations involved i have a few instances but im not 100% sure myself but has happen in events of stress. Most of the time.

Idk if anyones experienced something cloese to this.

Bpd can cause paychotic symptoms like paranoia and hallucinations if the person is extremely stressed. Luckily they are short lived. I used to have thoughts that my mom would spy on me and hacked my email and social media or my computer snd watches me.
How are you feeling nowadays?
If you need an ear to listen to im willing. I hsve become mich more stable snd won't splitt or anything. I have been working on that for my gf. But I still get s little desperate and gloomy. Just an offer don't feel obligated only if it helps you. I been reading slot of personality related stuff had therapy snd work eith workbook. Just an offer if it might help you. No strings attached. I hsve low self esteem though so I might be a downer. Sometimes. Just a thought and im not scared anymore of loosing people if they wanna move on..
