Living with Borderline Personality Disorder and it is absolutely exhausting. I’m fully aware of my condition and always feel I’m trying to mask my condition so that it doesn’t affect my family and friends. Before, when I would allow others to see (aka my cry out for help era) they just seemed annoyed, put off and eventually just stopped communication. That itself hurt cause I felt even more alone.
On my good days, I know they’re my good days so I try to do things that my bad days don’t allow… grocery shop, walk my dog, attempt to enjoy life.
On my bad days, I simply try to remember I’m loved by God and that I do have a purpose. I’ve dealt w this long enough to understand they’re my bad brain days and not to give into the dark side of my thoughts but lemme tell ya…. It is the hardest battle I encounter on the reg.
It makes me feel so alone… I spend these days researching other people affected by it and altho I hate that ANYONE else hurts from this condition it does give me great relief that I am in fact not alone.
Even if no one else reads this or responds it is the first time I’ve really even written about this and it does help.
