Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder

Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD), also known as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), is a mental health condition characterised by intense emotions, unstable relationships, and difficulties with self-image and impulse control. These challenges can make everyday life feel overwhelming, affecting work, relationships, and overall wellbeing. At Oak Grove Psychology, our psychologists serving Reading and the wider UK provide online therapy to help individuals who meet, or might meet, the criteria for a diagnosis of EUPD develop emotional stability, and build a more fulfilling life.

What is Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder?

EUPD is marked by heightened emotional sensitivity and difficulty managing distress. People with EUPD/BPD may experience rapid mood changes, fear of abandonment, and impulsive behaviours. The most common signs of Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder include:

  • Intense mood swings

  • Fear of abandonment

  • Unstable relationships

  • Impulsive behaviours

  • Chronic feelings of emptiness

  • Struggling with a sense of identity

  • Self-harm or suicidal thoughts

  • Intense anger or difficulty controlling emotions

  • Paranoia or dissociation during times of extreme stress

These difficulties can lead to intense interpersonal relationships and a deep sense of emotional pain. However, with the right support, individuals can learn effective strategies to regulate emotions and improve their quality of life.
