I have BPD, Iāve known a lot of people that also have it. And gosh, our live is not that easy to handle. Itās pretty much like our existence is something so heavy that everyday, just because weāre us, itās an impossible and hard battle. We always feel like weāre too much, itās not beautiful or poetic.
And Iāve also met a lot of people that say that people with borderline are abusive monsters that just want to manipulate others. Itās completely possible to be abusive and manipulate while having borderline, but having borderline will not make someone be this way. Learning how to manage feelings is a hard task to everyone, and when the more intense you feel, the harder it gets, so we try a lot, and weāre strong for that, everyday is an attempt to survive. Iām so, so proud of the borderlines out there. Iāll be real here, itās much easierĀ for a borderline to be manipulated rather than being manipulative, because we care too much and we love too much, we want to not be hated too much, and itās not an uncommon thing that people use the stigma and the pressure thatĀ āweāre the monstersā agaisnt us to think weāre the bad guys in an specific situation and that weāre doing something wrong. Iāve seen is happended, it has happended to me too.Ā
Depression and anxiety are super important, itās so great that itās been talked about more often, and the other mental disorders are very important too, the mentally ill people thatĀ āscare youā are very important too, even if to you theyāreĀ ātoo hard to deal withā. If you support mentally ill people, you support all of them or you just donāt support us at all. Donāt be a dick, instead of being someone that out of nowhere becomes a bad memory to someone, be kind, patient and search, learn. Itās not that hard to simply not say something bad about something you donāt know about.Ā
Itās a fact that around 9% of people with BPD complete suicide, which is more than 50 times the rate of suicide in the general population. Weāre all trying, weāre also in pain, and we also want to be able to live.Ā
Iām with all of you, borderlines out there, youāre not alone, never.Ā
