Intense Fear of Abandonment

Many individuals with BPD have an intense and abiding fear of abandonment.2‘Borderline Personality Disorder.’ National Institute of Mental Health, December 2017, nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/borderline-personality-disorder This symptom doesn't necessarily present itself in a rational way, as the individual may have this feeling whether the situation is real or imagined.2‘Borderline Personality Disorder.’ National Institute of Mental Health, December 2017, nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/borderline-personality-disorder

As such, those with the disorder will go to great lengths to avoid feeling abandoned, including avoiding the cultivation of interpersonal relationships entirely or cutting someone off before they can be hurt.2‘Borderline Personality Disorder.’ National Institute of Mental Health, December 2017, nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/borderline-personality-disorder
