I guess I& #39;d like to make a thread on my own personal experience with BPD and some issues that haven& #39;t been addressed yet... Feel free to RT! (this thread is a little bit of a mess haha please forgive me)
tw// nsfw , drugs , sh + suicide

+to sex objects. I& #39;m not totally sure why this is the case, but when I first talked to my therapist about the possibility of having BPD, I initially decided to search the term on twitter. Immediately I saw plenty of tweets of people (mostly men referring to exes) discussing+
+how their partners or exes with BPD always gave "the best sex" and stuff like that. I really do not think I need to explain why that& #39;s so abhorrently awful. Reducing to someone with such a disorder to just a sex object is harmful beyond words, especially since some people+
+who have it are minors (such as myself)!
On another note, my personal experience with BPD has been very all over the place and not exactly one I& #39;m proud of in any regard. I have immensely hurt others in the past prior to even considering that fact I had BPD. I take+

+responsiblity for those actions as always and have distanced myself from those I& #39;ve hurt, however, I& #39;d like to use that experience as a lesson to help others if not anything else.

Im not comfortable going into details about what happened, but all I& #39;d like to say on that note+
+is tgat I ask you to be in-tune with your emotions and actions. if you can, please take a moment to consider what exactly you& #39;re doing. if you find that you& #39;re uncertain in how you& #39;re acting, speak to a friend! let them be a different perspective on how you& #39;re behaving.+
+doing so could literally save your life. I mean that with my whole heart.
this thread is long already, but I want to touch on some of my experiences with BPD symptoms as a whole since I experience... nearly all of the symptoms. I thought it might be good to speak on it!

here& #39;s the complete list of symptoms for BPD! to officially get diagnosed, you need at least 5 of these symptoms.
however, it& #39;s important to note many people with this disorder experience it differently. for example, my episodes typically revolve on the people around me+
however, it& #39;s important to note many people with this disorder experience it differently. for example, my episodes typically revolve on the people around me+
+rather than myself. I do get moments of shame and self-hatred, but the majority of my actions and emotions are directed towards those around me. this is not to say I lash out at them or am aggressive to them, I& #39;m not! I keep to myself or vent to someone I trust during these+
+episodes as to not harm or hurt those who I may be splitting on.
now, what is splitting, you may ask? here& #39;s a small tidbit explaining what it is! splitting is something I struggle with a lot, especially towards people I know who I consider friends.+

+if I feel like someone I& #39;m close to (or numerous people) may have faltering feelings for me or is abandoning me, I& #39;ll split on them. I& #39;ll see them as someone who hates me and doesn& #39;t care about me and I& #39;ll try to avoid them as much as possible as to lower stress for them and+
myself. in rare cases, mostly when they actually do something to hurt me, I& #39;ll hate the person. I& #39;ll see them as someone evil or dangerous.
all it takes is a nice message or a small apology and I& #39;m right back to loving them like they& #39;re the greatest person I know.+

+splitting is very dangerous, for me at least, as it can make me very vulnerable to harmful situations as I can recognize danger but often times I get over it so quickly just by having the person send a single friendly message. this has led to unhealthy loops in my life that+
+I& #39;m still struggling to get out of.
during my BPD episodes, I usually split on at least 2 or 3 people. I& #39;ll feel urged to deactivate or delete all my social media and move discord accounts. often I feel paranoid, angry, and unsafe. I see those around me as people who don& #39;t+

actually care about me or love me and get frightened that I& #39;m worthless to them. this can either lead to me hating myself or hating them (or even both!). very few times have I gone the extra mile and deactivated accounts/moved discords, but it& #39;s certainly happened before.
sorry for how long this thread was - I just wanted to address some things I hadn& #39;t seen get spoken about yet and add my voice in! if you (or think you may be) or someone you know is struggling with BPD, please know you& #39;re not alone! I, and many others, care about you and+
+are here for you! if you have any questions or anything feel free to DM me with them! I& #39;m no expert nor a psychiatrist of any kind, but I& #39;ll do my best to answer them properly.
also, I didn& #39;t touch on nearly everything, so here are some threads I like about BPD! please be sure to give them some love and a RT <3
