BPD lows are so intense it sometimes actually feels like you are grieving. the pain is so intense you just want to scream, it’s not dramatic. You can feel it physically. it physically feels like your insides are burning and your world is ending
BPD or borderline personality disorder is being positive and happy one moment, to being completely suicidal the next
“people with bpd are like people with third degree burns over 90% of their bodies.
lacking emotional skin, they feel agony at the slightest touch or movement.”
this couldn’t explain our sensitivity any better, being so fragile is painful. the smallest thing can break us

The thing about BPD is that somedays you just hate yourself which makes you want to isolate yourself and on other days you feel like you csn conquer the world. You have all these amazing thoughts about how magical life is gonna be but next day you wanna end your life and it sucks
it’s so confusing, bc one day my confidence can be so good and i actually think all these amazing things about my future and feel really productive and want to rush everything good that happens so that i can have it quicker.. and then the next day i will hate myself
imagine knowing your own feelings and not feeling confused all the time, knowing what you want to be in life, knowing how you should be around others and keeping relationships. imagine actually just knowing who you are and not constantly worrying about how u should be. bpd sucks
it’s crazy how you can go from feeling so euphoric to hitting rock bottom in the space of an hour, it’s one extreme to the other. BPD isn’t just feeling happy to sad, it’s feeling like you’re on top of the world for no reason, to then feeling like your life isn’t worth living
i have lost so much in my life due to having mental illnesses, i have missed out on experiences other people my age are having, and being able to express myself how i want. this illness has just taken so much away from me i wish i knew how to stop it
Anyone whose going through BPD or any other mental illness YOU ARE NOT ALONE
