May is Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Month!

Those diagnosed with BPD are struggling, please reach out if you know someone who is diagnosed with BPD and see if they need anything!

Do not take anything a person w/ BPD says too personal. It's not the actual opinion of the person, but it's the disorder speaking!

People with Borderline Personality Disorder are not monsters. They act out of helplessness and are just trying their best to avoid being abandoned.

BPD is a post traumatic disorder, similar to (c-)PTSD. Be patient with trauma survivors.

I've worked out how to judge my reactions.
I tell (a) normal friend(s). If they check up on me the next day then I am probably ok to feel like absolute shite. If they don't then I'm probably under my BPD and need to be careful.

I find it difficult when people say they are here for me.
I take it literally, even though I *know* that is unrealistic, and then they never are.
It's not their fault nor is it deliberately callous but it breaks my heart every time
