I'm not a mental health professional, but it sounds like your friend is in a challenging situation. Encourage him to prioritize his well-being and consider seeking support from a mental health professional. It might be helpful for him to explore coping strategies, discuss concerns with a supervisor, or consider alternative job opportunities while being mindful of the economic situation. Making decisions about employment can be complex, so seeking guidance from a career counselor or therapist could provide valuable insights tailored to his specific situation. 2 Likes |

Pacesetter2021: Thanks for your contribution but let me educate you a little. I once thought like you before the diagnosis and there is a proof to back that. It all started when I was ten, when I left my parents for the first time to the boarding house. My anatomy and physiology getting exposed to a very harsh environment at that tender age brought about all of these. Research more about adolescence and you would understand me better. And the reason I stayed too long in the psychological prison was because of ignorance. My parents (mother especially) being a prayer warrior was trying to fight a psychological battle with a spiritual force. Just like you having severely injured and bleeding foot and you are trying to say prayers for that bleeding to stop, you see that's stupidity. Since the days biblical literature started, there had been Doctors(Luke for example). The Bible stated in Genesis 2 that a man has three parts(Body, Soul and Spirit) and the more you understand that portion of the scripture, the better it is for you in life. What I'm struggling with is a pure psychological thing that needed psychological intervention. We prayed and fasted over the years but how come I started seeing improvement when I approached it the right way? I understand that the fall of Man ushered in several problems in the world but not all these problems will be solved by prayers and deliverance only. The right pole would only fit in the right hole. 1 Like 1 Share |

Mindlog: It sounds strange to most, even with all the visible havoc this has caused me till this age of 33 my mom still finds it difficult to understand and believe...I don explain tire...The only solution is for survivors to come out and let them know it's real...as for me since the disorder has refused to let me have a career till the point of diagnosis, I have decided to spend the rest of my life creating awareness about mental health...that alone will give me fulfillment and satisfaction cos I can't just imagine another child suffering all I went through. My transformation still looks like a mystery to me, from being a celebrated academically gifted child to an adult who has nothing to show for it. Please don't let their responses stop you from doing the good work, those who will listen will do. |

Those battling borderline personality disorder may struggle with intense mood swings and feel uncertainty about their self image and identity. Their feelings for others too can change quickly, and swing like a pendulum from extreme closeness to extreme dislike. These changing feelings can lead to unstable relationships and emotional pain. People with borderline personality disorder also tend to view things in extremes, such as all good or all bad. Their interests and values can change quickly, and they may act impulsively or recklessly. Other signs or symptoms may include: Efforts to avoid real or perceived abandonment, such as plunging headfirst into relationships—or ending them just as quickly. A pattern of intense and unstable relationships with family, friends, and loved ones. A distorted and unstable self-image or sense of self. Impulsive and often dangerous behaviors, such as spending sprees, unsafe sex, substance misuse, reckless driving, and binge eating. However, if these behaviors happen mostly during times of elevated mood or energy, they may be symptoms of a mood disorder and not borderline personality disorder. Self-harming behavior, such as cutting. Recurring thoughts of suicidal behaviors or threats. Intense and highly variable moods, with episodes lasting from a few hours to a few days. Chronic feelings of emptiness. Inappropriate, intense anger or problems controlling anger. Feelings of dissociation, such as feeling cut off from oneself, observing oneself from outside one’s body, or feelings of unreality. Not everyone with borderline personality disorder will experience all of these symptoms. The severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms depend on the person and their illness. People with borderline personality disorder have a significantly higher rate of self-harming and suicidal behavior than the general population. |

Living with ADHD+BPD is no joke. I got diagnosed this year at the age of 33 and these are some of the discoveries I made. 1. Adolescence is the most important developmental stage in life. 2. A promising gifted child with a bright future can live a wasted life if plagued by mental health disorder(s). 3. The boarding house is not for all children. 4. Late diagnosis makes life more difficult. 5. You must learn to forgive yourself for all the things you did wrong but must also learn to live with whatever consequence(s) your disorders left behind. 6. Work hard to restore peace with those you offended 7. Don't let your diagnosis define you. 8. Stigma will come but don't let that pull you down. 9. You can still make it, just don't give up. 10. Mental health is as real as physical health, seeking help doesn't make you weak. 2 Likes |
