TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME

And WHY Borderlines will never surrender it, or change their mind about our President!

When a Borderline feels what they interpret as “true love,” they experience intense emotion. (By the way, Borderlines cannot love, because genuine attachment to someone terrifies them. What they crave and interpret as love, is feelings of infatuation, which is the fleeting ability to fall in love with oneself, under the adoring gaze of an appealing other.)

When a Borderline feels what they interpret as hatred, they experience intense emotion.

BPD is a dissociative disorder. What this means is, one started discarding, shutting down, and dissociating from difficult emotions from around the age of 2 years old. This has left them with a huge emotional void inside (I often refer to it as the “core void” in my writings) where all manner of feeling states are supposed to be housed.

Feelings of emptiness, flatness, deadness, and sensations of not even being viable or alive (in their core) prompts the need in Borderlines to seek intense stimulation. Strong, intense, passionate feelings of love and hate, break thru their non-feeling bubble, and trigger sensations of ALIVENESS.

Borderlines cannot let go of their TDS and hatred for a man they wish to believe is pure evil, because the intense sensations associated with despising him, are activating, enlivening and eneriging to ‘em, and without these intense sensations, they literally struggle with sensations of inner-deadness, as a direct result of having disconnected or dissociated from a litany of emotions since they were toddlers.

It is impossible to amputate ‘certain’ feelings out of one’s emotional repertoire, and expect all others to remain alive and vibrant. Feelings do not function this way. We are either fully-feeling individuals, or semi-feeling individuals, which spawns inner emptiness that a whole lotta folks THINK will be remedied, once they fall in love or have a kid (which never works, incidentally).

So, do NOT expect nor anticipate that these histrionic people who are running around like banshees and posting garbage on the Web will change course. They literally THRIVE on chaos, drama and conflict, in order to access sensations of aliveness! If you’ve ever been involved with one of these people and the constant emotional roller-coaster nature of your relationship has felt exasperating and tormenting, you know that what I’m educating you about here lines up precisely with what you’ve experienced.
