In this episode of Unhinged Media, we break down the nine diagnostic criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and what they actually look like in real life. BPD is often misunderstood, stigmatized, and oversimplified—but behind the clinical terms are real people navigating intense emotions, relationships, and identity struggles.

We’ll talk about the DSM-5 criteria used by clinicians to diagnose BPD, including fear of abandonment, emotional instability, identity confusion, impulsive behaviors, and more. Instead of just listing them like a textbook, we’ll explore how these traits can show up in everyday life—how they feel internally, how they affect relationships, and why they’re often linked to trauma and deep emotional sensitivity.

This episode is meant to educate, humanize, and spark conversation around BPD. Whether you live with BPD, love someone who does, or are just curious to understand it better, this discussion will help shed light on the complexity behind the diagnosis.

Because sometimes being called “too much” is really just feeling everything too deeply.

🎧 Tune in as we unpack the 9 criteria—and what they really mean beyond the diagnosis.
