Borderline Personality Disorder is a severe mental illness in which the sufferer experiences instability in moods, emotions, relationships, and behavior. Often, the sufferer falls victim to self-injury and other harmful impulses. BPD has a very negative stigma surrounding it, and sufferers may be seen as scary, dangerous, and frustrating, by friends, family, and even their own therapists. However, there is hope and there is support. One day, people will understand.

Please note: Just because you can relate to the above description or any of the posts on here, does not mean you have BPD. There is a lot of overlap with other mental illnesses, and common emotional instability, especially before your 20s, when personality stabilizes.

BPD is NOT something you want. If you think you have it, please see a professional to be sure and to get help. We cannot diagnose you and you cannot diagnose yourself. We will always recommend you see a professional.
