Individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) face persistent emotional turbulence and uncertainty about their identity, posing challenges well into adulthood. Unlike most adolescents who develop a stable sense of self and better emotional coping skills, individuals with BPD continue to experience intense emotional fluctuations and maintain a fragile self-image. This can lead to difficulties in their daily functioning, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. Researchers are also investigating how the way individuals remember their past may influence the vulnerability to developing BPD, particularly in relation to autobiographical memories.
