just wanna say thanks to the handful of people who actually understand my mental illness and don’t pretend to. if you call people with diagnosed mental illness stigmatising words like manipulative, psycho etc you are a shit bag.
sending love to my #bpd people. #bpdawarenessmonth
remember to be kind especially if you know ur mates/family/partner has MH issues especially bpd. if you don’t understand it then be a supportive friend and properly educate yourself using non stigmatising sources that are not outdated so u can better understand people with bpd.
probably going to ramble here a bit but BPD is a huge part of my life whether i like it or not and i’m trying my absolute best to overcome my traits, we are not awful people, we just feel diff to the average person. we feel love/hate/other emotions so intensely /
that it overwhelms us. we are actively seeking ways to overcome the negative traits we have. don’t stop believing in people suffering with this insufferable illness. acceptance, love, reassurance and appreciation can really go a long way and we appreciate those of u who do this❤️
i am not saying to excuse our shitty behaviour, absolutely not. but do not stigmatise it. don’t be one of those cunts bc that’s grim. if u understand how our brains work through proper research and understanding. it is so much easier to be a supportive peer. #bpdawarenessmonth
proper communication with people with bpd is super important. if they tell you their triggers, try to listen. episodes don’t have to happen and can be prevented.
here is some stuff on relationships

i don’t fully agree w #6 for me personally. i don’t feel the need to hurt people
