BPD is...

Reminding yourself that you're not worthless.
Reminding yourself that they don't think you are a pile of offal.
Reminding yourself to take care of yourself.
Reminding yourself to pay attention to others.
Reminding yourself that they didn't mean what you heard.
Reminding yourself to go where you need to.
Reminding yourself to understand they aren't you and believe and act as you do.
Reminding yourself unclench your muscles.
Reminding yourself that they aren't trying to hurt you.
Reminding yourself that they aren't abandoning you, they are busy.
Reminding yourself that you're not alone.
Feeling too much.
Feeling too strongly.
Feeling for people so strongly that you lose sense of your own feelings.
Feeling nothing at all...null.
Manipulating without realizing what you're doing.
Fighting against reason without realizing you're doing it.
Keeping copies of every word you say so you can't misremember what happened.
Remembering things differently than others say happened.
Turning on people because you perceived what they said wrong.
Losing control over your emotions because of something that wouldn't normally bother you.
Losing those you love because your rollercoaster is too much to handle and is exhausting.
Dying inside every day, bleeding from a soul wound you can't explain.
Loving so deeply that they mean more than anything else in life.
Having love switch into hate or indifference like a light switch without control to stop it.
Your impulses kill relationships and jobs.
Your mouth has no filter between it and your brain. Think it, speak it.
Rejection means you're worthless. Your emotions change on a dime, without warning, and are always triggered, even if you don't know what the trigger is.
A look means they hate you.
Going from extreme emotion to cold logic and back again in a split second.
Obsession with the macabre and morbid, mostly without feeling anything but curiosity.
Overwhelming guilt when you realize you snapped again.
Hiding or moving away to avoid people you love, but don't want to hurt.
Doing things to get away from pain that only puts you more at risk.
Believing you can survive it all without help. After all, you've done it how many times?
Denying assistance because you don't want to be a leech, a bother, a burden.
Starting over in therapy...for the 27th time.
Forgetting your meds and appointments.
There is so much more that I'm not even thinking of, yet shouldn't this be more than enough? When do you find the person who learns about this to help? When are you able to fix yourself? Why is it there to begin with?
