Borderline personality disorder

Borderline personality disorder is a disorder that includes, but is not limited to, mood instability, identity disturbances, feelings of unfulfillment and emptiness. This dysfunction is characterized by the prevalence of negative feelings, fear of rejection, abandonment and disappointment, the inability to build stable relationships with others, and an inconsistent image of "me" distancing myself from certain feelings. Borderline personality disorder manifests itself both in a person's beliefs and in their behavior. The patient experiences alternately anxiety, anger, frustration, sadness, shame and boredom. These emotions generate stress, which further strengthens the negative attitude and perception of the world. Misunderstandings and paranoid symptoms often appear under the influence of severe stress. They may require hospital treatment. Borderline personality disorder is also characterized by the inability to cope with stress and crisis on its own. Instead of acting, a person tends to drown in panic and anxiety. He is unable to collect his thoughts and come up with a plan to get out of the situation. Patients with borderline personality disorder have a strong fear of rejection and abandonment. They tend to enter into unstable and intense relationships that lead to emotional crises related to threats of suicide or self-harm. Such people are very sensitive to the judgments of others and they feel a constant need to reassure them of their partner's feelings. They are usually possessive and jealous. They are willing to take various risks, use psychoactive substances for experimental purposes, have problems with eating and pathologically lie. The causes of borderline personality disorder have not been thoroughly investigated and defined. It is assumed that these may be childhood traumatic experiences. Fear of abandonment can also be the result of parenting mistakes or personality disorders of one or both parents or guardians. Biological abnormalities can also be the cause of borderline personality development. Opinions on this matter are divided.

    Andrzej, how many more times do I have to remind you about the 150-word limit?!
    And I am a bit concerned about the fact that there are practically no errors in your post, which can only mean that either your English is at the level of a university-educated native speaker or that you copied it from the original source.
    Where is the source, by the way?

Should Lydia's husband be arrested?

           From legal point of view Lydia’s husband should be arrested, because he let his wife die. On the other hand he was depressed and he was not able to take reasonable decisions, that’s why his behavior could probably be justified.  Lydia presented a toxic personality. All the time she demanded somebody’s attention. Her husband was determined to devote the rest of his life to looking after her and he gave up everything for Lydia. However, he couldn’t make her satisfied and happy, as she was simply a mental-ill person. Several times she tried to commit a suicide. In my opinion she should be under hospital’s control.

"Five ways the pandemic surge in hand sanitisers may not be great news in the long term"

 Tonight I read an article entitled "Five ways the pandemic surge in hand sanitisers may not be great news in the long term" It is true that the use of hand sanitisers and other antibacterial and antiviral cleaning products has sharply increased worldwide since the pandemic started. It has certainly helped to stop the increase in viral infections, however, it has some side effects. I learned that one study found that the regular use of ethanol to sanitize hands resulted in relatively low but measurable levels of ethanol in the blood. While this was below acute toxicity levels, continued use can result in "chronic toxicity", increasing the risk of health problems such as eczema or skin cancer. It can even be fatal at times. Repeated use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers can cause antimicrobial resistance and increase other infections. Research has also shown that ethanol leaking into lakes, ponds, rivers and oceans can harm aquatic species. I believe that despite the
