Disappearing Act asked by ImAChristian @ Psych Forums

A user asks "Could someone please tell me what happens during these times when someone with BPD withdraws and cuts off contact without warning? When someone with this disorder comes back as if nothing happens, is it that they don't remember or is it too sensitive or embarassing an issue to bring up? I'm struggling and confused here.. I hope that someone replies.  :("

Some notes from the forum..

"An individual suffering the negative side effect's of borderline personality disorder can be quite sensitive/hurt by certain thing's said leading to *triggers* which are a transition from everythings okay to an instant destabilization were everything to that individual has gone to hell, you may get pushed away and even treated badly but the individual suffering with bpd is going through a horrable real life nightmare confused angry depressed enraged - think of a hurting animal even if it's a cat/dog which loves you.. when hurting this loved one may bite you out of pain / say hurtfull things.. that's how I can best explain whats going on soo please be supportive."

"hmm.. i've had blowouts in the past with my famely as well (i'm 23) and like this individual you speak of i'm kind hearted as well, it's like I went from this compassionet sweetheart to the devil screaming angry extremely irritable touchy touchy, you know being in a relationship is problebly really hard for him to do and he leaves i'm sure to try and cool off or cry depressed woundering "why on earth is this happening, why am i like this" thats just a guess but i'm trying to be helpfull. There is a relationship forum on this website ImaChristian and I think you would have better luck getting replys in that forum, if you are depressed i'm sorry that dose suck and hope you find some relief soon."
