BPD Criteria 7 - The Criteria Explained a Little More Clearly
(7). chronic feelings of emptiness
The player will show in this paragraph
This such a hard thing to describe. Emptiness. No love inside, no hope inside, thoughts of longing.., having no sense of self, felt deep inside in your heart and your mind. It is crippling to me. This aspect of BPD makes me suicidal.
Because Of criteria #1, feelings of abandonment.. I have made myself a complete hermit. So I am not hurt by relationships. But at the same time I am cutting myself from a world I'd like to take part in. This intensifies the loneliness.
My loneliness is usually at its peak when I am very depressed. I am lonely all the time and that causes me to feel empty. I have no sense of myself when alone. I always feel I cannot accomplish things on my own.
When it is in its severest form, the pain that comes from this emptiness is excrutiating. I am unable to describe in words the pain I feel. There are no words to describe total abject misery. I usually end up self-harming in one form or another at this time.
On a whole I generally feel empty, with no sense of pupose. I feel no love from any source. I have love in me, but no where to intimately direct it.
