This is just a rant about my understanding of some Personality Disorders because I can. This is not to diagnose anybody and shouldn't be used for that purpose, this is just a rant regarding what I can remember most about Personality Disorders.

The Criteria for a Diagnosis According to the DSM-5 and Related Traits are Characterized by problems such as Interpersonal Dysfunction, Functioning of aspects of the self, Manifest in patterns of cognition, emotional experience, emotional expression, and behaviour that are maladaptive, Not developmentally appropriate and cannot be explained primarily by social or cultural factors and Associated with substantial distress or significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning.

BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) Is a Disorder normally Characterized by the intense Mood Switches, Unstable Self Image, Unstable Relationships, Intense Anger, Paranoia, Abandoment Issues, Chronic Feelings of Emptiness and Impulsive Behaviour. These are the criteria for a Diagnosis mainly- According to the DSM-5. This is not limited to other not-well Known Symptoms such as Being unable to understand yourself Properly- And unclear Goals in Life. Continous Struggle with Mental Health & Suicidal Threats, Suicidal Actions And Self-Mutilating Behaviour. Attempts to do absolute anything- Example, Starting fights to try clear Boredom as it feels like a Death Sentence. There are more Symptoms that I don't believe I could fit onto here being the essential key towards a BPD Diagnosis as it can be characterized by multiple other Disorders.

NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) Narcissistic personality disorder involves a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy. Those with NPD may Take Advantage of Others for their own ends, Believe they are 'Special' and can only be understood by other Special or High-Status People. Require excessive Admiration and Attention. Have a grandiose sense of self-importance (exaggerates achievements and talents), Be preoccupied with Fantasies of Unlimited Power, Success, Beauty, Love, or Brilliance. Have a sense of entitlement, Lack Empathy- Or is just unwilling to identify or recognize with the feelings/needs of others. Believes others are envious of them- or is envious of others often. Showcases Arrogant, Disdainful Behaviours or Attitude.

I will add more about others when I feel like it.. 😭
Also, please don't use this to Diagnose yourself. Never use a piece of Literature to 'Diagnose Yourself'. Especially Virtually. If you can relate to some of the Symptoms- Please make sure to bring it up to a Medical Professional as I am no Professional myself. This is writing is mainly written with the Knowledge from the DSM-5, Psychology Studies, And others Experiences, BPD For me has some Personal Experiences.
