Thank you for honesty. It is just a collection of maladaptive coping mechanisms. I appreciate you Ashlynn.

Wow I have BPD but I’m just struggling to get through the day and you’re married and a nurse. Where are the BPD patients who are really struggling?!!!!

[@shannonelliott9620]

i wonder often if i will be able to have marriage and kids every relationship is a disaster where you try and change so you dont lose the person but never can BPD is shit

[@bigtimefans100]

For real; but I think the reason why they show people with BPD who can hold jobs, be a mother, a significant other, and all these things is so we're reminded that it's possible. It seems fucking impossible. I always think that I'll never be "normal" like everyone else. Every fucking day. It's just so hard when treatment isn't as accessible even though we both need _and_ deserve it://

Wish someone had taken the time to figure out the voice with delay & the microphone that went it with. It was so distracting that I couldn’t listen.
