When Hope is Out at Sea
Topic: borderline personality disorder
I’m still new to the term “Borderline Personality Disorder.” I’m still learning to recognize moments of dissociation, depression, and euphoria.
When you live with Borderline Personality Disorder, there is no shortage of literature out there describing us as “people you wish you could get away from"...
I hold my breath and wait for what feels like the inevitable digression this discussion will now take, interspaced with worlds like manipulative, unstable, frequent flyer, untreatable.
Before I came out, I felt like I couldn’t take a full breath.
Manipulative. Self-destructive. Unstable. Selfish. Untreatable.
Suicidal thoughts and self-harm urges do not define me. The ups and downs of my recovery do not define me. The worry that I'm disappointing my family does not define me.
