Could It Be Borderline Personality Disorder?
When someone has anxiety, depression, or another form of mental health condition, symptoms are usually present day in and day out for weeks, months, or years.
People with borderline personality disorder (BPD), however, may have strong emotional episodes that last only hours at a time, flaring up time and again. And this serious psychiatric disorder is one that requires serious treatment. Why? It can destroy relationships, careers, and even someone’s life if it's not identified and brought under control.
Do any of these symptoms sound familiar?
Unstable Relationships
One of the major symptoms of borderline personality disorder is having volatile and unstable relationships, even with close family and friends. People with borderline personality disorder can quickly swing from having intense respect and love for someone to suddenly becoming very angry and hating that loved one. Any separation or change in an expected schedule can trigger an extreme reaction and feelings of rejection in someone with borderline personality.
Unwarranted Anger
Situations that are obviously out of another person's control or are truly insignificant can inflame the temper of a person with borderline personality disorder. One of the common borderline personality disorder symptoms is intense anger that is out of proportion to the given situation — for instance, if a parent or significant other has a work commitment that takes him away for a short time, someone with BPD may blow up in anger and hostility out of a sense of rejection and isolation.
Impulsive Spending and Other Risky Behaviors
Spending money carelessly and in excessive amounts is a risky and impulsive behavior that is characteristic of someone having an episode of borderline personality, but that’s not the only way people with BPD act out. Other destructive patterns seen with borderline personality disorder are unsafe sex, eating binges, gambling sprees, or risky driving. These are thought to be related to a poor self-image of the person with BPD.
Abusing Drugs or Alcohol
Substance abuse problems and alcohol dependency are other destructive behaviors often seen in people with borderline personality disorder. It's common for those with borderline personality to turn to illicit drugs or to abusing alcohol during episodes of borderline personality to attempt to find escape or relief. All these issues must be treated in order to help better control borderline personality disorder symptoms.
Hurting Oneself
Borderline personality disorder symptoms can be extremely intense, and people with BPD often have issues with body image and self-esteem. It's not uncommon for people with BPD to try to hurt themselves in some way. Destructive behaviors could include causing physical harm, such as cutting themselves. They may have suicidal thoughts or actions; these require immediate medical attention.
Feeling Empty Inside
When someone he loves is physically gone — even just for a day or only a few hours — the sense of isolation felt by the person with borderline personality disorder often leads to an intense feeling of emptiness and the inability to cope with the absence. Borderline personality disorder symptoms may include a loss of self-worth, and a loved one’s being away — no matter how innocent the reason for it — can trigger feelings of being abandoned and emptiness.
Being Afraid of Being Alone
Lashing out in anger, a hallmark of BPD, often stems from one basic yet intense and overriding fear — the fear of being alone. People with borderline personality disorder often go into a panic or rage when they feel that they are being abandoned or are left alone, whether that abandonment is real or imagined. Being so afraid of being alone can cause serious problems in relationships.
How to Find Help for BPD Symptoms
Borderline personality disorder symptoms must be treated, and there are effective treatment options available. Medications, including mood-stabilizing drugs, anti-psychotics and antidepressants, can help manage symptoms. Different types of counseling and therapy, including psychotherapy and a new approach called dialectical behavior therapy, can be very useful in helping people with BPD control their illness. Therapy in a group setting can also encourage people to alter their behaviors by learning from peers struggling with the same problems.

Bats, you can look this up too and see what I say is 100% truth. Back before whites came all Nations did not have any illness. Our kids were not vaccinated simply because none of those diseases where around. We lived off the land and knew what plants to eat Mother Earth gave us to stay healthy. Legend is how Natives learned what plants to stay healthy is we follow animals and like a deer have upset stomach we see what plant they would eat to get better. Point is all Nations, from Cherokee to Cree had NO illness till white man came. Then they spread there disease and germs to the Natives....So yeah... a lot of what you say now is true about drug companies. And the illness are here now so, we have to vaccinate but its scary because you hear so much controversy. I always think they could cure a lot of disease but drugs companies are Billions of Dollars a year so if disease were cured... well, we would not need them. This world is in a very sad state my friend.

That is my point..The Big Pharma corps make billions upon billions of dollars a year NOT to cure, but to treat illness. It is big business and a large part of the US GDP to have americans sick and keep selling drugs. Then selling more drugs to treat the side effects of the original drug.
In these third world countries where people do not get proper treatment these diseases should be spreading more and more and then in modern times with travel by many means plane, boat, trains, animal migration, and such these diseases would be spreading and being transported to other areas.
I dont know if being white or Native, or Black has anything to do with it beyond the fact the white started migrating to other countries, and continents bringing with them things that may not be naturally occurring to the new areas. For example the Plague being spread by ships that brought rats from one area to another thus spreading the disease to a wider area faster.
I think personally people build up immunities naturally I as a kid did not get all the things kids are getting now and I hardly ever got sick except for colds, or a one day flu. My baby now even with al these multiple vacs has had some sort of flu or sickness that had her puking for 4-5 days..In reality we do NOT know what is in a vac, we take a Drs word for it who is also getting kickbacks from the same big pharma corps. Meds are pushed by Drs based on who is giving them bigger incentives. Pharma corps are doubling prices overnight on drugs that many are on for life threatening illness. Aluminum is known to cause problems from cancer to neurological problems, there was big issues I think back in the late 80s not to use aluminum products especially anti perspirants for it causing cancer, I've seen articles that show people with Alzheimer disease having higher traces of aluminum in their brains...yet its used in vacs for the purpose of causing a reaction.
We are being shown daily how much our government is lying, how the money of the rich, and corporations influence the laws that benefit them and not the people. How can we really trust what we are being told is the truth?
