Reasons Behind Holiday Blues



There is a wide array of reasons why people experience Holiday blues. Here are the main reasons:

·  Reminders of loved ones lost: Holidays make us reflect. For the most part, our thoughts turn to beloved family members and friends who have passed away.
·  Loneliness: Holidays could make us feel lonely without a significant other. Furthermore, separation from family members can be especially painful now.
·  Financial hardship: Giving to others is one of the Holiday joys. If your financial resources are very limited, you are likely to feel insufficient.
·  In search of sunlight: A lot of individuals are adversely affected by the relative loss of sunlight they experience at winter. This phenomenon is called: seasonal affective disorder or SAD.

Debunking A Borderline Personality Disorder Myth



Borderline Personality Disorder Myth: People suffering from BPD tend to become stalkers.

People suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder usually don’t have interpersonal skills. They have this tendency of losing relationships, usually due to their extreme behaviors. Different studies have shown that 4 to 15 percent of stalkers suffer from BPD. It is important to keep in mind that some of these stalkers may meet criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder but stalking is not a characteristic of BPD.
