What Is BPD?
7. Risky Behavior
Impulsive and risky behavior may be evident, especially when you are upset. You may engage in alcohol binges, drug abuse, risky sex, shoplifting, or reckless driving. Although these sensation-seeking behaviors may make you feel better temporarily, your mood and emotions soon plummet again.
You may go on spending sprees that put you into debt or gamble away money that you can’t afford to lose. A person with BPD may even sabotage themselves by abruptly ending a desired relationship or quitting a good job. These self-destructive behaviors always hurt you and those you love in the long run.
