“Behind many emotional responses are real issues.  BPD sufferers can be so overwhelmed by their emotional feelings that they feel unable to tackle the underlying cause of the emotion.”
Emily Laven, Borderline Personality Disorder: The Ultimate Practical Approach To Understanding, Coping, and Living With Borderline Personality Disorder

“One of the defining features of BPD is that sufferers have a difficult time in accepting emotions.  This is in large part thanks to the intensity with which they experience them.”
Emily Laven, Borderline Personality Disorder: The Ultimate Practical Approach To Understanding, Coping, and Living With Borderline Personality Disorder

“Often the thoughts that can act as emotional triggers seem to come from nowhere.  They can be positive or negative in nature.  For example a memory of a happy past experience can trigger a thought process which leads you to compare a good time in the past with your present circumstances.  Things may not seem as good now as they did then and this leads into an unpleasant cycle.  Alternatively, a negative thought can lead you to developing negative emotions, in turn leading you to avoid these, perhaps using impulsive behaviors to avoid the issue.”
