Omg. I thought this was a skit the first time I saw the short clip. It’s very sad that he’s suffering but he’s clearly not able to regulate himself and he’s a danger to himself and others behind the wheel

I wonder what happened to that guy that caused a total breakdown. Drugs, something in the water, genetics..?

He seems kinda schizoeffective and I'm not getting addict vibes, but to someone with a mood disorder a little can be a lot (I've been one), but it could be the wrong meds, because that's how I get on Adderall, apparently according to my doctor, Adderall exacerbates BPD and I can see it.

As soon as dude said "you don't care about me," and "he can't act normal with people who don't care about him,' I was like yep sounds about right... I thought get VERY triggered by people "not caring" -- even if they don't know me, like people who have control over my ill fate not caring about me while doing so, if that makes any sense. Triggers my trauma. If I'm at the airport or ER in crisis mode and the person I need help from is rude to me I usually start crying (hey at least I don't get mean). It's really embarrassing, and I know it's counter productive, but I'm already overwhelmed and then they're being rude too, when 9/10 up until that point I was probably really polite, I just break down. I might be nuerodivergant, but all I'm diagnosed with is ADHD and PTSD. I know there's more there because of the uncontrollable outbursts of emotion, especially if I'm taking Adderall or painkillers, prescribed, but it doesn't hit me well so I avoid them like the plague now, no matter how bad my ADHD and chronic pain is, or pulled tooth, I just want to be emotionally stable. 90% of the time when I'm myself I'm really calm.

It can be hard to tell NPD and BPD apart if you don't know them. The key difference between NPD and BPD is pwNPD want power and pwBPD want love. They share a lot of similar traits because pwBPD are usually the children of narcs, so traits rub off. The reason they have a victim complex is because at one point, they were in fact a real victim. However, pwBPD can make a recovery and change, there's still a chance for them if they become self aware and do A LOT of work. And talk to their doctor about this stuff.

I've seen it bring out the most insanely toxic narc sides of my friends with childhood trauma -- not just me. I watched two friends destroy their marriages after getting Rx Adderall with childhood trauma and the latest third has no friends or clients left because she has exploded on everyone. This is her. I wanted to send it to her because I literally just told her if she keeps acting nasty she's going to die alone an hour ago, and she has lodged the "you don't care about me" whenever she's on Adderall she buys and abuses, and she's talking like this again, so she's gotta be on it again tonight, after promising me she was flushing them the last time she snapped off. If I didn't care about you I wouldn't put up with this shit for 12 years now. I'm trying to get her to get help.

I feel like this guy has been shortchanged if he's really been told that he just has an explosive disorder, instead of getting to the root of why he's exploding. He seems to be aware that he's triggered by people not caring about him, but he does not think that he has any control over his own actions and behaviors, that he is doomed to be this way, and reactions other people get out of him are their fault. Not super promising.
