What Is BPD? Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by extreme emotional fluctuations, difficulty regulating emotions, and unstable relationships. Those with BPD often struggle with fear of abandonment, intense mood swings, and behaviors that may come across as manipulative or erratic. Partners of individuals with BPD frequently describe the relationship as feeling like they are "walking on eggshells."
