ITS BPD AWARENESS MONTH!!

Informative thread about bpd, this is super important !!!

if you don't have bpd, READ and RT !!!
first of all, I am diagnosed with bpd. so, yes, I can talk about this.

dni if youre too lazy to read everything included in this thread tbh

anyways, BRIEF mentions of these in this thread:

tw: abuse , drugs , suicide , self harm
what is bpd?

bpd stands for borderline personality disorder (NOT BIPOLAR DISORDER, bipolar disorder has a different acronym please be careful not to get them confused!)
bpd is also sometimes known as eupd, or emotional dysregulation disorder.
It is a cluster b type personality disorder characterized by unstable self image, mood swings, unstable relationships, suicidal tendencies, explosive anger, feelings of +
emptiness, fear of rejection or abandonment, impulsive and self destructive behavior, and more.

there is no one cause for the development of bpd.

people with bpd often have black and white thinking, believing things to either be 100% good or 100% bad.
this can cause people with bpd to split. this means they will switch between idolizing people to hating them instantly. it's very rough on people with bpd, and can tear their relationships apart.

people with bpd also often have a fp, or favorite person. a person w an fp's life +
may pretty much revolve around their favorite person. they may shift their interests to match their fp, idolize them, and their emotions may match their fps. if their fp is sad, they are sad. if their fp is happy, they are happy. this may seem simple, but for people with bpd it +
is much more than that. their fp truly may feel like the sole determiner of everything in their life and it isn't a feeling they can control. they may feel lost without their fp, and if a relationship between a person & their fp is at all negative, the person w bpd may split. +
fps can be anyone: a best friend, family member, lover, or even a celebrity. the relationship between a person w bpd and their fp is not necessarily unhealthy, but boundaries must be set and communication is important to keep both people happy and safe!
bpd is a highly stigmatized disorder, and those with it are often stereotyped as abusive, manipulative, or evil.

even professionals often refuse to treat those with bpd because they are seen as too difficult.
it's important to be patient with people with bpd. many people with bpd may often seek or need reassurance, bit that doesn't mean they do not trust you. they simply lack emotional permanence. basically, when they do not feel an emotion, they are not aware that they ever will+
feel it again or that it still exists. they need reassurance consistently because without it, they genuinely do not believe they are still loved and need constant reminders of such.

people with bpd are not bad people. they are mentally ill, and its important to treat them well+
and to avoid stereotyping them. please see below the rest of this thread for more information about bpd. don't skip it. it's important.

thank you for reading this thread :)
