Question:
Is having a long term problems with rage & difficulty controling outbursts,& impulsivity the same as being a?
psychopath? or have i crossed wires, are they two totally different disorders?
could someone with some knowledge explain please?
because im 30, have bpd, and have had a very traumatic life, and ive had long term problems with rage and outbursts and the urge to act out of rage since 19,
but when i do or have done in the past, i feel a great deal of empathy over my actions..
i feel disturbed when i hear about violent acts done by people around the earth and feel empathy for people, ive registered this emotion within, so i no i feel it.
Answers:
As a healthcare provider I feel that from what you have written, you are more a person who is not medicated well enough for the bpd. If you are concerned about being a psychopath, you aren't. A psychopath, or a sociopath, does not care if that is what other people think.....they only think to thier own advantage and do not feel guilt, empathy, or regret. They are capable of well thought out plans for hurting and torturing others for thier pleasure alone. They are usually not impulsive in thier violence. You need ongoing counceling and medication and the consideration of the possibliity of having ADHD that would also be worth medication.At thirty if you do not work to get these problems under control, you will end up in prison (I'm assuming you have not yet been there, because with your problems, it is commonly an outcome). In prison these disorders are not well medicated or treated. Life will get alot worse there.
