The Borderline Personality and Emotional Intelligence
educated in the field of disorders, yet she has been unable to identify with any of the symptoms on her own. She hasn’t connected the dots that she has cut off all family members (father, sister, son, daughter), and that she is alone by her own doing. She hasn’t connected the dots that she has been married three times, each marriage failing because she cheated on her husband. She hasn’t connected the dots that she is taking massive amounts of anti-depressants for depression but has manic spells characterized by unlimited spending and eating, as well as bouts of not living in reality– and that she has stated that her son is BPD but doesn’t recognize it in herself.
Basically, she is not in tune with her own emotions due to a low EI, and therefore, she is not able to comprehend the depth of her personality dysfunction and its ramifications. The BPD manifests itself in a low EI which cripples the ability to identify areas in ones life that need improvement or serious attention.
