"I always felt like people would leave me. One moment I would be loving and attached, the next I would be angry and pushing them away. My emotions were so intense that even small arguments felt unbearable. I didn’t realize that my relationships, my moods, and even how I saw myself were being shaped by something deeper — a personality disorder."
Personality disorders are not simply “difficult personalities.” They are long-standing patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that create distress in daily life, work, and relationships. These conditions often begin in adolescence or early adulthood and can make individuals feel misunderstood, unstable, or disconnected. With the right care, individuals can learn healthier ways to manage emotions, build relationships, and develop a stable sense of self.
