What is Borderline Personality Disorder?

Borderline personality disorders are mental health conditions which affect people in some of the following ways:

• Being easily overwhelmed by strong Emotions such as distress, anxiety, anger or feelings of low self-esteem;
• Avoiding other people and feeling a lack of Emotional Connection with other people;
• Seeking Control over strong Emotions through self-harm (for example, abusing drugs and alcohol, or taking overdoses) or, in rare cases, threatening other people; and
• By becoming very attached to someone in a short space of time, before ‘pushing’ them away before they can be let down.
