livingwithbpd

I completed one small thing, I made a call to see if I can get food stamp benefits. It was unsuccessful, but I will continue to try to get in touch. This was something I had been putting off because it is often unsuccessful but my friends told me to keep trying so I did. I was deeply saddened and angered last night due to a heated conversation with a friend. I could've stayed in bed late and let the sadness linger but I got up, and I made a call. I'm even looking for jobs now. The small things completed are precursors to me actually being hopeful about my future again. #BPD #livingwithbpd #transitions #displacedhome

#BorderlinePersonalityDisorder

My husband thinks I dont appreciate all he does for me but expect him to continuously be grateful to me for the things I do for him.
Which I think is incorrect.
This convo came from:
He recently started blogging and I've been helping him develop it. Today I showed him a blog that I created couple years back and he just complimented it. So I said it upsets me That he doesnt motivate my ideas. He understand it as I am taunting him about all the work I've done for his blog and not getting thanked enough. #living#livingwithbpd #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #BPDPartners

This is National Borderline Mental Health Month. I was thinking of those of us living with BPD and how strong we must be just to survive, every day, especially during this time of Covid-19. Here's a shout-out to all of us #stay
(BPD) is a personality disorder that can be both hereditary or acquired by growing up in a traumatic childhood environment. Many with BPD were abused sexually, physically, verbally, and mentally as a child. We are often born into families of dysfunction. There is no 1 drug or fix for those of us who suffer. BPD can display in a multitude of ways. We live with constant stigma. Like snowflakes, we have unique symptoms. The criteria diagnosis however, is much the same. At the very core are abandonment, trauma and abuse issues. The journey to manage our symptoms is lifelong. Having BPD as a diagnosis is compared to living with stage 4 terminal cancer in stress. Left unchecked, our symptoms can destroy our lives and the lives of those who try to love us. BPD can go into remission, only to reoccur in minutes by something that triggers us. A trigger is a connection between the conscious mind and a buried painful memory. It can occur by sight, sound, smell, words. Coming out of nowhere, it sends our mind back to an experienced trauma. This is also known as Complex PTSD. Living with BPD means a lifetime of always explaining yourself and your actions to others. BPD leaves us second-guessing our thoughts and emotions 24/7. Lacking the grey area in our brain, we split black/white thinking. All or Nothing. Good or Bad. Love or Hate. BPD is your brain going 90 mph with the parking brake on. We are misunderstood, abandoned or dismissed due to our instability and dysregulation of our moods. From this, we suffer great loneliness. If you take time to know us, you will find us to be intelligent people. We are generous and giving. We love big and are loyal. We would lay our life down for those we love. We'd rather hurt ourselves than you. If we do hurt you in our words or actions, we often take it out by self-harming and self-loathing that can last for days. We find it hard to forgive ourselves when our symptoms flair. This is not a life we asked for. It is a life we Radically Accept. BPD has the highest suicide rate of all mental disorders. We are #warriors as we have been fighting for our lives since we were a child. 💪Alice M. Pirola
