Symptoms of borderline personality disorder
1. Confused thinking and insufficient self-awareness
People with borderline personalities do not have a clear understanding of themselves, and even simple questions such as "who am I" and "what kind of person am I" lack stable answers. They can't judge themselves accurately, they don't know whether they are beautiful or ugly, they don't know whether they have value, they don't know whether their lives have meaning, and they have been in a state of chaos for a long time.
2. Emotional instability, always ups and downs
People with borderline personality are like a roller coaster, oscillating between various emotions, or anger, or shame, or panic, or fear, they will be anxious because of the actions of some people, but then they will become very happy, and they will not be able to control their emotions at all.
3. Polarization and tension with others
Most people with borderline personalities have a very paranoid mindset, and they will look at problems in a "polarized" situation, either all or nothing, black and white, this is their way of thinking. As a result, they switch freely between extreme perfection and debasement, and this polarizing attitude and emotion can seriously affect the relationship with them, leading to instability in interpersonal relationships.
For mental health testing and screening, you can also refer to the SCL-90 scale, and for the detection and screening of mental illness, you can refer to the MMPI Minnesota Multiple Personality Test.

People with borderline personality are always swaying in the storm of emotions, feeling scared and uneasy, if it is difficult to be stable for a long time, then learn to face yourself first, choose healthy relationships, establish a healthy lifestyle, and strive to be a peaceful and positive person.
