I write with my heart but also not afraid to use my head. I write in hope with a dream that one day BPD will be more understood than stigmatised with compassion not scorn and fear. The Mighty is one of the best resources out there, the one that I read on the day of my diagnosis which made me think I was going to make it, & the one I share the most. I was diagnosed late aged 37 because of preconceived BPD stigma. I am impassioned to tell my story so that mental health professionals may not make the same mistake they made with me & so I write for them in the hope that they see nuance rather than stigma. Above all, I write for those undiagnosed or overwhelmed like I was for so many years.
