A borderline personality disorder is a mental disorder that affects the way you think, feel about yourself and others, causing problems in everyday life. It includes self-image issues, difficulty managing emotions, behavior, and a pattern of unstable relationships.
With borderline personality disorder, you have a fear of loneliness or instability, and you might have difficulty tolerating being alone. Also, anger, impulsiveness, and frequent mood swings may push others away, even though you want to have loving and lasting relationships. Borderline personality disorder begins usually in early adulthood. The condition becomes worse in young adulthood and may gradually get better with age. If you have a borderline personality disorder, don’t get discouraged. Many people with this disorder get better over time with treatment and can learn to live satisfying lives.
