You will never completely know if you are immortal or not.

I used to think I was going to be the hero in my story, I now think I’ll probably be the wise old guy in someone else’s.

Just borderline things

Wishing every day of your life you weren’t so sensitive

Not being able to hide your emotions no matter how much you try

Feeling misunderstood by everyone who can’t understand why you’re so emotional

[mae0x]

when you notice yourself falling into the same self destructive cycle that comes around every depressive episode but all you can do is sit there stare at the wall and wait for the worst,

who is this “self” and why does she care

This user has bpd because of the abuse they went through.

one of the worst things about BPD is having mood swings so intensely and such a fear of abandonment that you feel sick. you feel your head aching when you go to an extreme to another, you feel nauseous when someone does something minor that, for you, means that they will leave. you are constantly worried and constantly tired that sometimes getting out of bed hurts your entire body. bpd is not only mental symptoms.

do you ever see your old friends/people you knew from school through social networks or pictures and suddenly want to cry because everyone has friends, everyone has a great family, everyone has the capacity to do whatever they want and achieve their goals, but you’re just alone, with a messy mind and watching everything you want and every goal go away because you can’t do anything anymore. you’re just too sick. and you’re there, watching everyone move on, through a cellphone or computer screen, like you’re pausing your own life even if you don’t want to.

quick protip: if someone is crying or freaking out over something minor, eg wifi not connecting, can’t find their hat, people talking too loud, do NOT tell them how small or petty the problem is to make it better. they know. they would probably love to calm down. you are doing the furthest possible thing from helping. people don’t have to earn expressions of feelings.

I’m just gonna put it out there that if someone’s freaking about something small, they’re really freaking out about something big that they’re trying to deal with, or something long term that’s been building up, and that little thing is the straw that broke the camel’s back.

I don’t know, try and give people the benefit of the doubt. Don’t be the next straw on their broken back.

People don’t actually go from 0 to 60. If you think they did, you have failed to notice how long they’ve been at 59.

Even if you think you don’t ☄

Motivation from me to me when I'm feeling shitty 👌 sometimes you just need to take your own advice x

I have lost so many people in my life due to BPD. We may not feel we are masters of much, however it is clear we are the masters of cutting people off. These ‘cut them out of your life’ moments can be because of many things:

1. We feel you have upset us or have gone against us for whatever reason. 2. Some will leave without the push, as they feel they cannot cope with our behaviour. 3. Others may feel we are 'sensitive’ or 'attention seeking’ which also either leads to them leaving or us cutting them off. These ones, in my opinion, deserve to be cut off. You don’t need people in your life like that when you are trying to recover.

Cutting ties with people is quite common for us, but of course this does not help with our sense of abandonment, as it convinces us we are correct in our thinking pattern. One of the things I am learning going through therapy is that you have to build bridges & move on. This is not for anyone else, but for yourself to heal & remember those no longer in your life for the happiness they would have once brought you.

If you have stayed with me through my hectic journey, then thank you for caring about me. You mean more to me than you think. If you have left, through your own choice or mine, then thank you for playing a part in my life. I am no longer mad or upset with you & I wish you all the happiness in the world.
