Question: Can you describe situations where you felt a strong need to prevent someone from leaving you, either physically or emotionally? Have you felt this need often?
Answer: Back in elementary school, there was an amazing teacher who won my heart within a short amount of time. She would always appreciate my small efforts and encourage me to do better. Her genial behaviour made me comfortable to ask questions and soon she became my favourite teacher. Unfortunately she had to leave our school for some reason and it felt bad to think of losing a teacher I admired. It was hard to accept her departure and I felt the urge to prevent it.

Question: Do you feel that your interpersonal relationships with those you are close to are unstable? Have you experienced patterns where you alternate between seeing someone as wonderful and then seeing them as terrible?
Answer: This sort of hybrid experience is quite common to me, in terms of friendships. The more I get to know people, the more I discover their hidden identity behind the sweet exterior, particularly when it concerns any formal project. When I was in high school, I met a classmate whose sense of humor fascinated me, and I wanted to become friends with her. She is nice and funny, but sometimes gets a bit rude in her words. However, everyone has some limitations and I have decided to adjust with them until they become unbearable.

Question: Can you talk about how you see yourself? Does your perception of yourself (how you view yourself) change frequently?
Answer: It does, very frequently indeed. Usually i see myself as an indecisive person, not confident in making decisions. I don't have firm control over myself and I'm susceptible to manipulation. Apart from that, sometimes I show a pessimistic attitude towards everything but sometimes I am optimistic, spotting positivity in everything so I'm always moving back and forth between these two forms of mine.

Question: Can you describe any impulsive and potentially self-damaging behaviors you engage in, such as spending money irresponsibly, unsafe sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, or binge eating?
Answer: My self-harming impulsive behaviour includes extended periods of scrolling social media, overthinking, sudden expressions of anger, taking decisions without considering impacts, and wasting time on screen. They miserably affect my life, causing me to regret and afterwards draining my energy and enthusiasm to focus on important tasks. These impulsive behaviours work like a ripple effect, resulting in my reduced productivity and poor motivation.

Question: Can you describe any incidents of self-harm or repeated suicide attempts?
Answer: Facing unexpected behaviour has often hit me bad emotionally, making me feel unwanted everywhere. Living this life seemed too much of a burden sometimes when I was younger. I remember having a silent desire to end my life once or twice, but never thought of turning it into action.

Question: Does your mood change frequently throughout the day? Are there times when you feel intensely happy, sad, anxious or irritated for no apparent reason?
Answer: My mood remains almost all the same during weekdays, but I see a bit of change in it on holidays, when I feel slightly more uplifted and relaxed whereas weekdays seem quite stressful with workload. Speaking about a whole day, I don't see any change in my mood throughout the day, it is stable.

Question: Have you experienced chronic or constant feelings of emptiness?
Answer: It occurs every now and then. When I feel the absence of discipline, motivation, talent etc. , I make some space for self-reflection or reach out to a close friend to discuss things. Sharing these feelings makes things much better for me and I find myself recharged. However, sometimes I feel a strong desire to get my childhood memories back, which seems like some sort of an emptiness. In that case, I tell myself to be grateful for all those things that happened to me.I wouldn't say the feelings are constant, they just come every now and again

Question: Can you share any experiences where you felt extremely angry or found it hard to control your temper? Have you experienced frequent displays of temper, constant anger, verbal outbursts, or recurrent physical fights?
Answer: Sometimes I experience a sudden rush of anger for no reason at all, and sometimes there is a valid reason. This sort of past experience includes a friend teasing me over small issues, I find it extremely irritating when people overestimate things like grades saying "Oh you are sure to top this exam, you study all day long..you know everything", it appears disrespectful to me and gives me an impression that they are envious and narrow-minded. I can't handle these situations smartly, I remain silent most of the time.

Question: Can you describe experiences where you felt intensely suspicious of others (for example, believing people wanted to harm you) or disconnected from reality, especially during stressful times?
Answer: My stressful times affect my views badly, thinking of people in a negative way, even though there is nothing wrong with them. I start viewing everything from my perspective during that times, which makes things appear problematic and I don't have the patience to interact with people wholeheartedly. I feel like people have ulterior motives when I am in stress
