Your Borderline Personality Disorder
Borderline personality disorder can make life unmanageable. Getting up and facing the world every day when you feel empty, angry and hopeless can be a struggle. At Sunset Malibu we understand your struggle and want to help make it easier. A common problem with BPD is that it makes you easily overwhelmed. If you have only one thing on your schedule for the day it can seem too much. You can focus and obsess on it. Something that should take 15 minutes can cause hours of fretting. This can make you angry at yourself, which is common with borderline personality disorder.
Another common feeling is self hate. People with BPD often feel as if they hate themselves and see themselves as worthless. You might feel this way all or most of the time, or it can come and go. When something simple becomes a big obstacle, feelings of self-loathing usually follow. Borderline personality disorder tricks you into feeling that you’re a bad person. At Sunset Malibu, you’ll feel free for the first time in a long time. The light, open atmosphere and sunshine can help you feel less pressure. When you’re not feeling pressure to do something, you can’t obsess about doing it. This lack of responsibility to do anything but heal can help you start to manage your mental disorder. Call Sunset Malibu today at 1-800-332-9202 to experience our borderline personality disorder program for yourself.
Managing Moods
Mood swings are a common part of BPD. In fact, mood swings with borderline personality disorder are often more frequent and extreme than with other mental illness. They can also occur for what seems like no reason. One moment you can feel extremely happy and giddy. The next moment you can feel more miserable than ever. This constant up/down that many people who suffer with borderline personality disorder feel takes a toll on your mental health.
Even if you’re aware of your condition and you know what to expect, the instability can be crushing. Antidepressants and medication are sometimes used help control the mood swings that come with borderline personality disorder. Other therapies may be used as well. The entire atmosphere of Sunset Malibu is designed to put you in a good, hopeful mood and keep you there. A gorgeous Pacific Ocean view, beautifully decorated rooms, gardens and lots of space are designed to foster a peaceful mood. While this won’t fix everything, we believe you can recover better in beauty than in cold, clinical surroundings. Call Sunset Malibu today at 1-800-332-9202.
Borderline Personality Disorder Symptoms
Borderline personality disorder also has other symptoms that you need to learn to deal with. Where better to start to really examine your feelings and come to grips with them than a resort-like facility where all your needs are taken care of? We believe that a place like Sunset Malibu is necessary. You need to have the everyday worries and cares out of your way to truly focus on your health. When you can wake up and feel pampered and cared for, you have a better chance of getting better. Only then can you start to deal with your borderline personality disorder.
One of the most frightening results of borderline personality disorder is the high rate of suicide. Of those with BPD, 10% to 15% attempt suicide and most succeed eventually. Self-injury is also a common symptom. People with BPD are self-destructive in other ways, too. Recklessness by having unprotected sex, gambling with all of their money, driving too fast and other ways is common and dangerous. Borderline personality disorder makes it difficult to control impulsive behavior. But in the calm surroundings of Sunset Malibu, you can start to work on impulsive control and stability.
