BPD is not bad behavior. It comes from emotional patterns that repeat and start to feel permanent. In teens, these patterns are still forming, almost like wet cement. If the strong reactions and fears show up for a year in different areas of life, it may be an early pattern and not just a phase. The good news is that the brain can still change, even in the 20s and 30s. There is always hope. #bpd #bpdawareness #bpdsupport #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #emergingbpd #teenmentalhealth #mentalhealth

What a BPD Pattern Looks Like in Real Life Teens can have big emotions, but some reactions repeat in the same pattern again and again. When this happens, it may be more than normal teen behavior. Many young people get caught in a cycle: feeling rejected, getting angry, feeling regret and shame, reaching out, and then pulling away. Seeing the loop helps you understand what fear is underneath it and how to respond without taking every moment personally. #bpd #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #bpdsupp
