Symptoms of BPD
While someone with depression or bipolar disorder may experience the same persistent mood or emotion over time, an individual with BPD may experience intense bouts of emotions ranging from anger to depression to anxiety which can last for an undefined amount of time.

These symptoms may be associated with episodes of impulsive aggression, self-injury, and drug or alcohol abuse. Distortions in cognition and sense of self can lead to frequent changes in long-term goals, career plans, jobs, friendships, gender identity, and values. Sometimes people with BPD view themselves as fundamentally bad, or unworthy.

They may feel unfairly misunderstood or mistreated, bored, empty, and have little idea who they are. Such symptoms are most acute when people with BPD feel isolated and lacking in social support, and may result in frantic efforts to avoid being alone.
