BPD, Depression and Quarantine

No alcohol or drugs here - I self medicate with food and that's just as bad 😭

Your borderline workbook has been helping me a lot. I'm working through it slowly and seriously. I have a question that you're the only person I know of that might be familiar with the topic. I'm not sure it's common enough for a video but I have some serious problems I am just looking for reliable info on. May I email you?

Thank you, Dr. for your videos, they really calm my aching soul as long as I watch them. I am 27 and terrified beyond words of dying from COVID-19. I feel like I have a death sentence above my head and just passing time until the inevitable comes. I feel disconnected and I feel like my life is over, I can't do anything just sit on the sofa al day. I do not know how to accept that my life is going to end, I do not know how to face death when it is so close and I can't do anything about it. None of my family members and friends takes my concerns seriously, they are all calm and optimistic. I need help but I do not know how to help myself, I am utterly terrified :(

I'm struggling like so bad, I'm living with emotional and mental abusive people who are in denial. Prior to isolation I drove myself to depression for over a month. I didn't leave my room and I didnt talk to them. I was livid. Eventually, she told me her sob story, along with accusing me of things I'm not even capable of i.e. doing drugs, and I slowly but surely went back on speaking terms, putting the war inside of my head to one side. Thought I could control it.

It's back, I've been ignoring her taunts, I've been tolerating the narcissist too and today was triggering. No MATTEr what I do, I'm never enough for her, for anybody. She can try conersating with me, but I'm done.

No matter what I do, I end up getting hurt either way. There's no win. I hate them for putting me in this position, I'm trying to control my outburst; I just want to scream at the top of my lungs. It's worse not having anyone to talk to. Can't stand this horrendous life

Thank you for this video and the others, your efforts don't go unnoticed 🥰

Thank you doc ❤️❤️
I've been feeling bored and empty then anxious and stressed the next minute. So to get some sort of high, i always reach out to my crush that ignores me. I feel hurt, sad and absolutely worthless when he doesn't reply or pick up. But when he does reply it gives me a sense of high and i love it.

Or i stalk his crush and compare myself to her like crazy and then feel absolutely terrible about myself, just so i can feel something.

Bpd/PTSD, Texas here. I appreciate this help so much. Great reminders that I forget when I'm in a depressive state.

Thank you! In the first couple of weeks I felt a little off and impulsive but now I really feel like quarantine is helping me to better understand myself. Helpful video tho!

Im going to smoke weed again 😞

We, people who suffer from depression, can't be understood, they think that to be sad is that normal thing when you face terrible situation, they always compare you with poor people and patients, they think that it's your choice to be happy, they really don't and will Not understand us, depression is Not being sad, depression is losing the ability to be happy, whatever you do!
Please if you don't understand us, at least don't hurt us saying those things"

Most humans don't worry about others. Only a few people worry about other beings.

I am twelve and I think I have bpd because I uncontrollably scared my sister in terrible ways over and over, and its kinda like an urge, but I never have self harm thoughts or depression. I have had tried just talking to "listeners" but I can't get therapy because my mom thinks I don't "need" it. If anyone can help plz do. If you need more information, just say that you're interested in the replies.

Thank you for this video and all your others. I don't usually listen to my therapists but I listen to you. About to binge watch. :)
Lol
Keep up the great work! We all appreciate you!!! 🙂

Good advice Doc 👌🏾

I can’t thank you enough for your helpful videos Dr Fox. You are one of the few people that understands the symptoms and treatment of our condition. Whenever I’m lost in the dark woods, your lantern of knowledge always guides me back to the path. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you Dr Fox always appreciate your kindness.

This came right on time. Thank you, as always.

I’m living in a area with barely any vitamin D finally it’s summer seasonal affective disorder is a real thing here from not seeing the sun often and being covered up I’m glad it’s summer cause this quarantined thing isn’t helping it but whatever I wish this shit would blow over already not only is the virus itself bad the problems it’s causing is just as bad!

Thank you for uploading this video. Just what I needed right now.

Thank you so much for this video Dr. Fox! I am going to get a Transitional object and Future-Oriented object to my family member right away. This is an easy way to help support those with Loneliness and Abandonment being triggered by the pandemic.

I like these outside videos

No one ever has ever experienced whet I feel I am popular but I don’t really have friends I don’t hang out but when I’m at school we’re all super close, but I don’t text people or hang out because I’m depressed and my anxiety doesn’t let me it changed me so much I used to not cared about anything and was happy but now I’m not like that I act happy at school then at home everything is worst and at night I just cry since I see all the people that are happy but I’m not, like if you ask anyone to say their best friend no body would say me because I don’t act like a best friend, I don’t text people, I’m just there to help others but not myself, and to make funny jokes sometimes and make people happy. Sometimes it makes me a little happy seeing that I can make others happy but I’m still lonely, I’m still depressed and have a shit ton of problems from my childhood and problems from now, like I almost attempted suicide but like just so my parents could see, and care about me. My story is LONG but idk I kinda wanted to tell someone how I felt so if you read this leave a like or comment if you have ever felt something kinda like this

Love you, as helpful as always!

I have depression, anxiety, and bpd. I haven’t been told a lot about my bpd, and my mom won’t even accept that I have it. I finally understand why I do what I do. You’ve helped me tremendously already. Thank you so much🥺💕

Thank you for helping. It really helps to get a refresh of helpful strategies :)

You’re the most adorable person that logically helps me with my BPD. It’s so nice to have these videos that you make. I just want you to know that you really, really make a difference to help.

You have helped me so much during these crazy times. Needed to hear this today. Thank you!

Hi there could you possibly do a video on dual diagnosis? Bpd and manic depression (borderline) no one seems to have any information and your channel is my life saver. If you could that would be amazing

Thank you.

Dr: Fox very powerful video. Thank you.

I think your every bpd’s favorite person lol

So glad I came across your video Dr Fox! I have depression and bpd and I hate to admit that I’ve given into unhealthy habits and very sedentary lifestyle throughout this lockdown (2 months for me!) I have been meditating and it has definitely help alleviate how I feel (calms my anxiety, releasing doubt and worry) however, I do believe some physical exercise can help. It’s just difficult to get myself out of bed to make any physical movement. Sometimes I’m successful but I can never keep up with a new habit. I tend get sidetracked and abandon activities that are actually beneficial for me. Nevertheless, still a work in progress, will definitely be tuning in more to your channel. Thank you for for this.

It's just a depressing situation

Another great video - Thank you so much for taking time to help us all during these crazy times!

I was diagnosed with BPD when was 18 or 19. I now have 2 children(here in America) and my husband is stuck in India. he is usually wonderful. he is helpful and responsible(we lived in America for almost 10 years with our kids) and loving and kind. im having trouble relinquishing control over my husband. he wants to go visit some friends in a "he says safe environment' but im afraid for him and that makes meVERY angry and I was hoping you could help me cope with these intense emotions. self harm isn helpful and I have 2 little girls relying on me and I need my husband. he thinks he's safe but id rather him stay home and im looking for a safe peaceful way out of this fight because im very scared for him because I love him so much and I feel like he doesn't understand that even tho he says hisfrineds have been safe and havent become infected, he shouldn't trust them. he's 43. im 30.

With no income and using the little I had saved up, if I can't find a job before the end of June I'll have to pay a little visit to the mountains.

Doctor ,
Can a BPD patient still have major depressive disorder which doesn't have a clear cause. Like having dysthymia and then major depression for about 2 years. But still can be a BPD.?

Cause one of my doctors says i have BPD while other one says its Double depression.

Please if you can rply to me.
I'm so confused now

My fiancé left my son n I in the beginning of quarantine. He took our dog and moved out without a care in the world. He blames my bpd . I been trying my best for my son . But he went on vacation and now I’m alone. I never been alone in my life feels horrible . Plus no job and rent n bills are do . Just feeling at my worse

Thank you

Thanks for all your videos; I feel validated.

All these “tips” are not helping I or anyone for that matter could come up with 95% of them just from the standpoint of just change your thinking. Even if I had all the time and money to find the right therapist , It is clear that this darkness I have hid and artificially fronted with fake personalities has no cure, besides there has been 60 years of public damage. No one was meant to live like this that is the only thing that is clear to me.being born with no personality it is impossible to “be yourself”.Rainy day people do not belong The reason they feel empty is because they truly ARE

thank u

I smiled so fast! Thank you for this <3

I definitely noticed during this lockdown that i started drinking more and since then lost my dog and cat they sadly passed your right about wanting to sleep more it doesn't help when mental health doctors cant see you or care companys

In quarantine I don’t have depression I’m just having thoughts in my head all the time because I Can’t Go NO WHERE it’s so annoying

I really appreciate this video. I sure wish that I saw this at the beginning of quarantine but your advice is truly uplifting for the period of life that I’m going through so thank you very much. I am so grateful that you’re in this world helping and inspiring others. ❤️ Beautiful work you do.

I know I’m not alone in feeling depressed right now but what do I do to get back on track? I have to stay at home all day because of online learning and my social life is nonexistent. I think I need to go to the mountains and meditate for a solid month and maybe I’ll have better mental clarity

A Narcissist should not be trusted and are often toxic with an excessive need for admiration, disregard for others feelings, an inability to handle any criticism and a sense of entitlement. They also uses future faking and gaslighting as some of their control tactics. Narcissists are also trying to explore the coronavirus as a means of getting back to their victims so it is also important to observe the “NO CONTACT RULE”. I used to think that love could cure anything but it only fed my narc's enormous ego. It is important to be wise when dealing with a narcissist and I’m glad that cyberhackinggenius helped cloned my wife’s phone. I got access to all her dealings both on phone and social media without touching her phone. I’m here in Nevada USA and able to access my wife’s phone with a cloned app even while she was away in the UK and cheating on me. All I did was share my wife’s phone number with Cyberhackinggenius and I was able to read both her new and deleted messages from my phone through a remote link to a programmed app containing cloned cell information without having to touch her phone. My wife was a cheating Narcissist and I’m glad to find out all her secrets and infidelity with the help of cyberhackinggenius. My wife also tried to use this coronavirus outbreak as a means to get back to me but I’m not stupid enough to allow someone so toxic back into my life. I’m finally going through divorce with lots of evidence against her. I read all her deleted and recent chats on Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram and the GPS location of her phone at all times. Hacker Gavin also helped me in checking if my phone number is being hacked and he secured all my numbers from unauthorized access with a very powerful encryption software. I also explained to him how I got scammed online and he helped me in recovering all my lost funds to scammers online. Hacker Gavin also helped me with my Bitcoin investment and I now make 60% profit as ROI every 24 hours for my invested BTC. You can contact this great hacker “Gavin” through his email cyberhackinggenius@gmail. com and WhatsApp: +19256795146 . You can also call and text his Cellular number on +16265152216 and thank me later for this great information......

Loved listening to you. Love from Pakistan
