Diagnosed with mental illness or just going through a rough patch, join our growing community of support and sharing from all over the world. If you are lucky enough, you feel so deeply that you have even been classified as Borderline Personality Disordered! (or Bipolar, severely depressed, anxious, bulimic, anorexic, OCD,etc. it's like Being at Baskin Robbins!!! Choose your flavour, they always s
eem to be adding new ones!)
My personal opinion is that this is not a 'person'ality disorder but a 'human'ity disorder! It is a happy day that you come to find that you aren't ALONE but that you are like so, so many more people than you could have imagined. Expect at first to be shocked and sad, mostly because you have spent most of your life thinking that you are an utter freak and no one else could possibly be as twisted as you, only to now, go on to find that there are actually MILLIONS just like you! Next, you will likely feel sadness, in realising that there was always a legitimate cause for your pain, and that healing and acceptance was available, if only YOU and society knew. YOU ARE NOT A BAD PERSON! You were hurt, hurt badly and you weren't heard or seen, and your pain has festered and burst out inappropriately as you've screamed, begged and cried for help only to be unheard, until the point of just thinking that you must be crazy and the world would be better off without you. It wouldn't be. You and BEAUTIFUL, you are SPECIAL, you are IMPORTANT and most valuably, is the gift that your pain has left you with, an enormous capacity for COMPASSION and EMPATHY. YOU ARE A MASTER and have the ability to HEAL OTHERS! FIRST HOWEVER YOU MUST HEAL YOURSELF. Get over your self, shut up with your victim story (yes you ARE or were a victim but stop living like this, stop waiting for someone to fix it and to fix you! YOU FIX YOU! But there is help. I can help. There are books that can help, there are therapists that are skilled and actually care (not judge) to help, our growing community here, now with off shoot private groups called 'BPD For Realz' for those with Bi-polar, major depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, eating/body dysmorphia, dissociative disorder or diagnosed Borderline personality disorder. Secondly is our new group for Carers - Carers and Loved ones of those with mental illness. And the last group being for Teens to under 25 specifically with these conditions to connect within their age group (who are also absolutely welcome in the larger broader aged group BPD For Realz also. Mostly tho, YOU HAVE TO HELP YOU. It doesn't matter how much someone else wants for you to heal or to take your pain away, until you take responsibility and put the reigns of your healing into your own hands you will not. I BELIEVE IN YOU. WE'RE DOING IT! YOU CAN TOO! There is love and support here for you. Talk, share, post...
With love BB
