well... i'm a borderliner... recently diagnosed... and i do have... phases. And the longer those phases, of depression, of inner numbness and unspoken pain go on, the worse it gets. And sometimes only an intense outburst can help me. Those phases can last for months, for me. In the early stages of the phase, I can still laugh and enjoy stuff - stuff like was said in the video, i'm an author and artist - but the longer it goes on, the more happy-traits i loose. and in the end, i'm not even able to smile or laugh. not even faking. and that's when just all goes to shit. and no cheering up helps me. i just want to... know if that's "okay", if anything can be done... i just recently started my treatment, so it might just get better from that alone... but i just want to know, in general. how do i deal with those deep, black holes, that i fall into, that i can't get out, unless i cut.

I've never sent something to myself. o.o I draw and paint and colour and sometimes I simply play minecraft like crazy. XDD My room is like a child's room, full of toys and plushies, I'm also a My Little Pony collector, that makes me feel secure and happy. ^^ I also watch horror flicks, mostly psychological and supernatural horror, that takes my mind off things. XD Thank you for making these videos, I had never found someone with BPD on youtube, and the ones who uploaded videos on the matter were full of misconceptions. x.x So thanks a bunch. owo

Hi, Its great to see you are looking for some guidance. Has your wife gotten into DBT/Therapy? If not, then maybe encourage her to do so as it makes all the difference in the world. Use "I" statements when talking to her, and VALIDATE her FEELINGS, not actions. NEVER tell her "just to calm down or deal with it" these things tend to upset people with BPD more. The first thing to a better life is realising it and getting help. Make sure take good care of yourself first. Cheers and good luck. :-)

hi, I have this bpd thing too, and right now I feel so deep in the whole, you know... because sometimes the hope is completely lost! trying and trying, there are some moments when I even help other depressed people to feel better, and then, I feel like this, so lost, so depressed, I have been eating like a cow, that's my way of covering it, a little bit, I think about cutting myself, but I promised not to do it again, but, this is so shit,,I have been feeling like this for a whole week!

maya brittain commented on 20 Feb 2013

what a beautiful surprise to find your vlog! thankyou. bad days for me. staying in bed. feeling abandoned by my husband and not knowing how to deal with it. obviously my instinct is to run away so I'm not abandoned and I abandon first... but I cant leave my 6 year old son.... but it's all in my mind I guess... only thing is that I believe it, and it is one of those self fulfilling prophecies.. hopefully not.. anyways.. thank you for your videos! I will look at them all!

Bas, I was fortunate to come across one of your videos a few hours ago. The things you talk about and how you communicate make a lot of sense. I am relieved to find you are active, because the videos I watched were a couple of years old and for a moment I was worried I'd missed out on thanking you for sharing so much of your personal experience. ..thank you, Bas. I'm so glad you've taken the time and made the effort to express yourself while helping others.

....Something that there should definitely be: ....Colouring in cafes!! With the option to use huge sheets with one big picture, that 10 visitors could work on at once.... To share a simple creative thing like that would help give a feeling of perspective about things needing to be a certain way or under control. And everyone would feel more accepting and accepted by people when sharing such an activity…. Extra good meditation :) :)

I just wanted to say that I am impressed and think you are an amaazing person. I just got out of a relationship with someone with bpd. I am in my third month of healing and was sooo hurt by this person. After watching your videos it gave me some insight and understanding...almost closure in a way. You are honest and beautiful. Keep em coming they help people with bpd and even us nons! mahalo nui loa from Maui Hawaii!

clover12oli commented on 24 Feb 2013

Hi, Just wondering if your BPD symptoms are in remission or at least lessened since you made your first video? I just feel like there is no hope of me having what I value in life (close friends, stability, and hopefully a boyfriend one day-- those values are hard to meet when you have BPD) :(. HELP? Thanks for the videos by the way, they rock. And you are amazing never forget that!!

I bought a large pack of colored markers and a book of mandalas. I didn't want to color in the book and use up all of the pages, so I copied the ones I liked. Coloring these is very relaxing. Ha! I almost bought a sticker book today but thought,"Woman, you are 60 years old (almost). Well, tomorrow I am going to go buy it! Better than reading a Russian novel when I am depressed!

princessvay88 commented on 11 Feb 2013

Omg! Omg! Omg! YOU'RE BACK!!! I am SO excited and you've just made my night! Haha. You have no idea how much of a positive impact you've made on my life and im sure the lives of billions of others suffering with BPD. You're amazing, Bas...im about to cry i'm so happy!! Thank you for coming back...please, please, please never leave again!! :D

I know how this goes...i thought i was a weirdo for taking those days, i always consider them emotional "colds" or "flu"s and i just make myself some snacks and indulge, comedy really helps, i mean laughter is the best thing for feeling down Stay safe everyone and take it easy :) This video made me feel really happy and warm inside.

Apple Darling commented on 27 May 2015

I have watched this video so many times. Your voice alone makes me calm enough so continue my day as a functioning person rather than a zombie. Thank you for being there for me and guiding me through this crazy journey. If you ever find yourself in Melbourne, Australia, I definitely owe you a coffee :) it's the least I could do!

Candy's Channel commented on 25 Apr 2013

I'm so thankful this video is in my self help playlist! I've been off my meds for several days and its been hell on earth. I will be able to go to my therapist to get meds again but not until next week, so your smiling face is a welcome relief for me. Your ideas are simple, fun and I can put them into action. Thank you again Bas :)

sophiaahamed commented on 19 Mar 2013

Hi Bas! I love your videos! I dont have BPD but still I can relate to many of the day to day feelings you describe! Also, your such a pleasure to watch! Do you ever trade art work for art work? I too am an artist, I would love to trade you ahah not sure if your into that, if not.. no worries! Happy to connect with you on youtube!!

Rebecca Johnson commented on 14 Aug 2015

Hi Bas, I've been watching quite a few of your videos and I can't help but to think that you're really awesome. You just seem so positive and nice, like a very pleasant person to be around. I wish there were more people like you where I live, but I guess I have to work with what I have. Can't wait until you post more videos!

whosthegirlmacabre commented on 02 Mar 2013

I've been having horrible mood swings lately. I sought this video out when I was feeling lonely and very, very depressed(these extreme moods have been happening a lot lately), and your ideas and enthusiasm moved me to happy tears. Thank you. I will definitely be following your advice to take me out of myself more often.

Franzi Pantz commented on 18 Feb 2013

YAAAY!! You're back! Can't wait to hear what you've been up to! Lovely video, many of these ideas are similar to what I do on bad days, although I never wanna "get serious" again! I'd love it if you did a video about how to cope with everyday stresses when you have BPD, how to still lead a successful life etc. xx

HOLY SMOKES!!! I feel this way all the time after making a major purchase! Usually spending a lot of money, even if it is justified, will send me into a long period of depression. Thanks for making this video :)

Jamie Tebbutt commented on 09 Mar 2014

Thanks for sharing. I have beat myself up over purchases and some were wrong but I like how you thought it out. You are very aware.

Jamie1982 commented on 05 Mar 2014

I get buyers remorse all the time. Adds a lot of anxiety :(
