If you're like most people, you've probably looked to the internet to try to self-diagnose the dysfunctional or destructive patterns of behaviors you're experiencing in your relationship. And it's very likely that Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) has ended up on your list of possible diagnostic labels. It often appears in the same circles of research as narcissism because many of the
observable behaviors are similar, and this is because narcissistic and emotional abuse causes victims to behave in ways that are very similar to those used to diagnose BPD.
