BPD is a complex mental health condition characterized by emotional instability, impulsivity, and challenges in relationships and self-image.
Common symptoms include:
Rapid mood swings or intense emotional reactions
Fear of abandonment or rejection
Unstable or intense relationships
Impulsive behaviors (e.g., overspending, risky actions)
Chronic feelings of emptiness or low self-worth
Self-harming behaviors or suicidal thoughts
