Individuals suffering from borderline personality disorder are very self-destructive
and they have great difficulty forming any good relationships. A deep-seeded fear
of abandonment is behind every wayward action and prolonged mood swing. It's
victims are mainly women who show frequent displays of inappropriate anger and who
exhibit forms of self-mutilation. They also act on impulse, without regards to
consequences and than hold others responsible for their actions. They are sexually
permissive and may indulge in binge eating and drug abuse. Victims of this disorder
may shop lift. Hell bent on harming themselves, they live with no discipline or
boundary.
Group therapy can resolve self-destructive behaviors. These individuals learn better from their peers because of their resistance to authority. Impulse behavior
can be curtailed in this same setting. There is help available for those suffering
with this personality disorder. Tough love may be needed from family members and
loved ones before the person asks for assistance. They tend to run from the one
thing that they need the most...which is stability especially with in a relationship. With appropriate therapy they can begin to learn to love themselves
and learn to trust again.
