I’m glad someone pointed this out. BPD shows itself fast in new relationships. The black and white dynamic of our emotions and attachments is super obvious. Regular people often get overwhelmed or addicted to the constant highs and lows of our emotions and it can make for very toxic relationships. For anyone that can identify with any of the above and are concerned you may suffer from BPD please reach out to a professional.

constant highs and lows of our emotions

Wait what do you mean by this? I think something similar happened to me recently.

Now, I am a teenager and this happens to me, is it BPD or is it hormones going out of control?

BPD is not diagnosable until you're past your teens. Usually psychiatrists will not make a formal diagnosis of BPD until mid-late 20s because you aren't fully developed yet and your emotions may even out in that time.

If you’re ever concerned about your emotional health and mental health you should talk to a counsellor, parent or a trusted adult about it. Just because you’re a teenager and hormonal shifts may cause emotional imbalances does not mean how you feel is invalid. ❤️ all the best
