hello! i have posted here a few times about having bpd and my concerns about it, and I know the forum is full of us, so I wanted to share something that happened today at therapy with me.

I was commenting with my psychologist that I was worried about opening up about this to my new boyfriend because everyone who gets to know about my problem with this terminology uses it against me, and that even googling it can be scary to a partner. and then we had a whole conversation about psychology and she told me bpd shouldnt even be a disorder and we talked about the similarities with CPTSD and autism and how throughout history hysterical women have been portrayed as crazy for having needs and being bothered by what happens to them.

it was great hearing from a professional that im not a monster and that im just thw product of childhood trauma and my environment.

sending all the love and hope to my fellow pwbpd! we got this!
just wanted to say also that despite feeling like a child on the inside and like there's something broken on my soul, DBT has been helping lots and I'm stable on meds and working as a teacher. And now in a healthy relationship (so far, considering I'm not 100% honest about how my mind works). We can get better.

I only knew one person with BPD in my life and she was one of the friendliest people I've ever met. I wish I had a better understanding of the disorder at the time, so that I could've been a more supportive friend to her.

I'm glad you found something that works and are moving foward in life!

It's depressing that most people see BPD and think Bad Person Disorder when it's all about fear of being hurt, desperately needing love but struggling to trust it, etc. A friend of mine has BPD and she's literally the sweetest person ever.

I'm glad you're feeling better, thanks for the love. <3
