I’m BPD

Up until recently I didn't understand how much I was impacted by Borderline. Every single aspect of my life has been impacted. I have been amazed and deeply sadden by this recent revelation.
<
Over the last couple of months, I've had a lot of time in solitude. It's been difficult at times to find the strength and will to get "better". I've cried my fair share of tears and which each tear drop, I knew I was moving in the right direction.
<
I've come to embrace BPD. I'm almost at a point where I'm proud that I've had this illness. I can see where I can use this illness to promote change, to offer hope, to be a source of inspiration, and a positive force towards the changing of the social stigma.
<
I've been chosen to live with BPD. I'm ok with that. It's not easy but quitting has never been an option for me. I'm finally in a place where all the tools I need to overcome this, is in place. I just have to keep walking forward into the light.

Borderline and the Paradox

Ahh...the mind of BPD. It really is a paradox. Everything you crave you resist...
<
You want love? You push love away.
<
You want trust? You become accusatory.
<
You want happiness? You brain instinctively latches on to all the negatives.
<
You want peace? You create chaos.
<
You want stability? You become fearful and unstable.
<
It's hard when it's your brain. It's hard to manage what is instinctive. That's the biggest message that I want to get across to people that don't understand Borderline. The behaviors to the thoughts, emotions, and feelings are reflexive. It takes diligent effort to change a natural reflex. Think about that the next time you flinch.
