‘I’m fine’ is just ‘I’m not having a full-on meltdown in front of you right now', which is the highest level of functioning I offer.

gif’s artidote | episode 10 | the attraction of rejection

https://gifsartidote.life/2026/05/01/gifs-artidote-episode-10-the-attraction-of-rejection/

I have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

If you have stereotypes, expectations, or assumptions about what that means, then maybe this is a chance to reconsider or change them. If you think of me as a friend, as caring or supportive, as interesting or fun, or as a community member you like, then maybe think about how just because someone has a personality disorder doesn’t mean they can’t be these things.

There’s A LOT of stigma around BPD. Many people use it as a synonym for “abusive,” which is not only wrong, but makes it pretty damn hard for people with the disorder to get mental healthcare that can help. The vast majority of people with BPD are survivors of trauma and it often is comorbid with cPTSD, disorganized attachment history, and codependency. The difference for it versus those other things that research suggests is a genetic component where our nervous systems are hypersensitive to certain kinds of things, leading to developing the disorder when exposed to trauma and intense stress.

There are also useful skills, therapies, and interventions that can help you or your loved ones with BPD. It’s still hard, but I know it’s improved my life to finally work on it and make progress on my mental health. Can it be overwhelming and hard when someone with BPD is in crisis? Of course, especially if they haven’t gotten the right kinds of help and support. But so is everyone who is in crisis. As someone who has helped people with just about every disorder and people with no diagnosable disorders when they are in a mental health crisis, it is challenging to help folks when the shit hits the fan and you have to adapt your strategies to the person and what will help them.

People with BPD are not uniquely terrible or bad or evil or abusive, and I choose to be out about having it so we can begin to challenge the stigma around this.

the orange clown is a psychopath & #mrrobbie proves it, step-by-step.

#GifsArtidote: instead of blaming him for being #MentallyIll i would argue by this stage we all are. don't forget we, the people, made him take the most powerful position, & the rest of us don't intervene to section him.
we have & are enabling him, & by doing so we inflict harm on our selves.
that's the position i have been in over my lifetime, & developed #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder which is in the same #ClusterBpds as #NPD & #ASPD which are likely his diagnosis.

BPD is correlated to NPD & ASPD which is caused by toxic relationship dynamics between ppl. it runs in families. in frumps case his father fred caused it with his mum as enabler.

when systemic #capitalism & #hierarchy are fundamentally driving narcissistic traits, over generations it snowballs into these personality disorders, that can't be treated.
the only way to stop this spreading through the population is by #ChangeTheWorldStartWithYourSelf

gif’s artidote | episode 7 | defining love

in this episode i start by reading defining love. i discuss my progress since i wrote this article, in the sense of unraveling the unhealthy survival patterns in my behaviour, and finding ways to develop healthy ones. how am i showing vulnerability, know what my boundaries are and defend them in a non-aggressive way, and resist running for the hills when people give me care & attention.

The article reports that people with borderline personality disorder who hear voices show structural differences in brain regions tied to language, sensory integration, and emotional regulation, suggesting shared and distinct neural mechanisms across conditions.

This topic is of interest to psychology readers because it highlights how perceptual experiences can arise from distributed brain networks and how neuroanatomical variations relate to symptom profiles, informing ongoing discussions about diagnosis, cognition, and emotion processing.
