Do I Have BPD? Find Out Now!

Video Description

Many people wonder if they have borderline personality disorder (BPD) or if it’s something else. In this video, Dr. Daniel Fox explains what BPD actually is and what it isn’t. You’ll learn about the six core features of BPD—fear of abandonment, identity instability, impulsive behavior, rapid mood shifts, emptiness, and unstable relationships—and how they show up in real life. You’ll also see common mistakes people make, like confusing BPD with depression or bipolar disorder, or thinking it’s just moodiness. This video will help you build insight, reduce shame, and take the next steps toward clarity and growth. Daniel J. Fox, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist in Texas, international speaker, and a multi-award-winning author. He has been specializing in the treatment and assessment of individuals with personality disorders for over 20 years in the state and federal prison system, universities, and in private practice. His specialty areas include personality disorders, ethics, burnout prevention, and emotional intelligence. 00:00 – Do I Have BPD or Something Else? 00:44 – Why BPD Is So Misunderstood 01:01 – The Six Core Features of BPD 01:16 – Fear of Abandonment 02:01 – Identity Instability 02:33 – Impulsive and Risky Behaviors 03:38 – Intense, Rapidly Shifting Emotions 05:16 – Chronic Feelings of Emptiness 06:13 – Unstable Relationships (Idealization and Devaluation) 07:37 – Real-Life Example: Panic Over Texts 07:57 – What BPD Isn’t: Mood Swings Alone 08:47 – It’s Not Just Being “Moody” or “Sensitive” 10:20 – BPD Is Not Depression or Bipolar Disorder 11:46 – Expected Emotions vs BPD Reactions 13:19 – Why BPD Is So Misunderstood 13:36 – BPD Does Not Mean Manipulative or Unlovable 14:29 – Not Every Conflict = BPD 15:35 – The Truth: Regulation, Not Value 16:10 – BPD Is Treatable and Manageable 17:00 – Focus on Relationship With Yourself 18:04 – Resources and Next Steps 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐃𝐫.
