Concept: a relationship where you’re both equally obsessed with one another but still respect eachothers space. There is no lack of communication or trust. Lots of sex.

Choosing to sit outside instead of inside when it's 30° out because I'm numb anyway so what's the point

that mental illness feel where u get frustrated because u are unable to distinguish whether u are empty and void of all emotion, or if u are feeling so overwhelmed by ur emotions that u simply don’t know how to process it all at once

Borderline Personality Disorder has one of the highest suicide rates of all mental illnesses. Here are some things that I am certain contribute to that:

Some professionals refuse to treat BPD patients simply on the basis of that diagnosis. Without even meeting us, we are judged to be not worth treating.

Many professionals see BPD patients as the “worst”, most “dreaded” type of patient. There are countless stories of mental health professionals speaking about the very idea of BPD patients in disdainful ways.

Unlike most other mental illnesses, patients with BPD are not viewed as “sick”, but as bratty, manipulative, and/or ungrateful. There is a pervasive idea that we don’t try hard enough, or that we don’t want to be helped. This is a view mostly held by our families, but is encouraged by some mental health professionals.

Many professionals focus on helping our families cope with our symptoms rather than how we can cope with them. Our disorder is seen by many as an illness that effects those around us more than those with it.

i want to add to this

i do not have bpd. a psych nurse in the er slapped the diagnosis on me purely because, as she said, i have a history of self harm and trauma. that’s it. nothing else. it isn’t even the criteria.

she was trying to refuse admitting me to the psych ward because of that then, saying “inpatient doesn’t help people with emotionally unstable personality disorder”.

it was unsettling not only to see how quickly they put this label on people, but also how they use it to deny them care

Clap your hands if you’re actually low key mentally ill as fuck and can hardly handle anything and you feeling like no one actually likes you at all and all you wanna do is sleep your life away

[boywithbpd]

anyone else feel like their trauma isn’t bad enough n they’re probably just overreacting to normal childhood experiences? same

I’m done trying to make things work, done trying to make people care about my needs, I’m done with everything.
