May is BPD Awareness Month
May is BPD awareness month. As the month of May has arrived, how would you like to raise awareness of BPD and help end stigma? What changes would you like to see regarding how BPD is seen by others?
I'm starting small. I'm trying to lay low at the moment, so I'm posting a few images around here and there and discussing the disorder with friends and family only. I hope to one day be a bigger voice for my disorder. I would like to see more understanding in our society, the recognition of the disorder as a serious and very real illness by both lay-people and professionals, and more readily available resources in our communities.
Please share your thoughts and feelings this May!
I'm trying to lay low too, not many know I have BPD. People just don't get it, like it's just some second rate thing that we can just get over. It VERY real. More people need to be made aware of the disorder as I find their ignorance terribly triggering. Thanks for posting this.
