Living with borderline personality disorder is hell. People with BPD are like people with third degree burns over 90% of their bodies. Lacking emotional skin, they feel agony at the slightest touch or movement.

 

The worse is pushing away the ones I love the most. I do it out of fear of rejection, but I just end up hurting them and myself in the process.

 

 

 

May is Borderline Personality Awareness Month. Here is a website with more information about BPD:  https://www.nami.org/Learn-More/Mental-Health-Conditions/Borderline-Personality-Disorder
