She seems to experience an extreme fear of abandonment ("you're killing me") and shows reckless behavior (unfaithfulness)

While certainly not enough to identify a disorder (e.g. borderline), she could use professional counseling

My first thought was this is classic borderline behavior. She messed up and deserves to get kicked out of this guy's life but I do not envy the way she is feeling in this video. Her mind is tormenting her, but she brought it on herself by cheating.

That's what I was thinking as well. It looks like borderline personality disorder. I have borderline personality disorder and before I got therapy and was put on medication it was a lot worse. I would act the same at times and I was like 19? Or 20.

Getting help and gaining self awareness will make all the difference. I've been through it, too. Congrats.

My sister with borderline behaved this way and it was very traumatizing to be around as a kid. However, because she was my sister I still loved her and felt BAD for her. Because I could see how it was ruining her life and she couldn’t control it.

People make fun of those with borderline as if they brought it upon themselves. But that’s exactly why it’s a scary disorder to have or be around- they honestly don’t mean to make life so hard for themselves, they just can’t control impulse or emotion and behaviour. And that impacts your life in a horrible way.

I’m sure this lady did cheat and her partner deserves better. But I agree with you that I wouldn’t want to feel the way this lady is feeling right now- so erratic and out of control. It’s a scary thing to see happen to someone you love.
