I adore @joetracini - he is just so good at explaining what #BPD is like. It is just so bloody exhausting... I feel seen. https://twitter.com/joetracini/status/1221476571451723776
Thankfully I only get the suicidal thoughts every few weeks now, but two-three years back they were constant. And the addiction stuff was pretty shit too like.
The emotional swings are now thankfully more manageable (in that I know HOW to manage them now. For me I just have to stop what I’m doing for a few hours/days)
The identity/empty feeling stuff is the biggest thing for me now. That, the attention span, executive functioning and dissociation. (My last psych assessment said that last one was a big issue tbf
)

For me, it’s like my brain is constantly telling me I’m the wrong person, that I’m actually getting being me wrong. That I don’t exist. Or that there is no concept of me. Aye, it’s weird af. You don’t need to tell me.
Pleased to say my communication + emotional literacy is waaayyyyy better than it once was. I can still be shit at looking after myself tho, so I have to pure concentrate on things many folk just do automatically - like drinking actual FLUIDS when you’re thirsty.
The concentration it takes me to drink enough, eat at the right times, wash, get ready, stand up, start work, stop work? Ridic. It’s like my brain keeps interrupting being a dick.
Fair to say, BPD is one proper wee radge to live with like.

Not entirely sure why I’ve done this thread.
Guess it’s ages since I checked in on my symptoms and how I reckon present. And it’s late and I can’t sleep. Oh well. Hey Witching Hour Twitter. Hope you good.
