hi, i'm sunny. i'm disabled and mentally ill. i'm autistic, have adhd and dyslexia, mild cerebral palsy, and brain damage from birth. i have ocd, osdd-1b, and bpd.

i am not a threat to you in any way, and i am not ashamed of my conditions.

especially regarding my mental illness, i suffer from a lot of stereotypes.

i have ocd, but i am not obsessed with organization or cleanliness. my ocd is mostly obsessive. i have horrible intrusive thoughts about being an abuser, about me or my loved ones getting hurt, etc.

osdd and bpd are two of the most stigmatized disorders.

osdd (and it's cousin, did) is seen as a horror movie trope. a scary person with "evil murderous multiple personalities". this is ridiculous, we are not dangerous. we are not scary.

osdd and did are a form of ptsd. they are formed from repeated childhood trauma before the age of 9. alters are people, just like you and i, but formed to help protect the original from this trauma.

bpd is stigmatized because we are seen as inherently abusive. "borderline abuse" is a common term. it fucking sucks, because a lot of us were abused ourselves. my bpd symptoms mainly have to do with an extreme fear of abandonment, mood swings, and impulsiveness.

please do not fear mentally ill people.
we are people, just like you.
do not demonize us, do not make us into a boogeyman.

we just need help and acceptance.
