Bpd

@Sacon1981

Hi, that definitely sounds challenging. 💜 Especially if some of the usual solutions that people might suggest aren't viable (e.g. feeling lonely/isolated but don't have friends and scared to go outside; feeling sad but antidepressants aren't an option due to bad side effects).

If you're willing to try therapy, there are a lot of different types of therapy that have been shown to help with BPD. (And usually therapy is the preferred thing to try before trying medication.)

Are there any things that you've tried in the past that have felt like they helped at all, even if it was only a little bit?

The fact is no one cares about anyone with BPD they think oh this person's being this this person's being that and don't make friends with anyone everyone is selfish just take care of yourself forget everyone else people treat BPD as a disease not a mental illness but it is mental the torture you go through of trying to fit in of trying to "be normal" these people don't care they just judge you instantly I want you to know your feelings are valid you are valid
