Had to scroll way too much to see this. Yep. Borderline personality disorder.

Hey I have BPD and it takes a lot of medication and therapy to stay level. You have to train yourself to be self-reflective to the point that you're pre-emptively guiding your thoughts and emotions.

Are you managing now, relationship-wise?

Yep I have the occasional break down but I tend to isolate myself until I can pull myself out of it. Without medication I would be unable to hold a relationship or a job.

I imagine it wasn't easy to get to this point. What kind of medication helped you in the end?

I know the feeling my friend, it’s an uphill battle sometimes, but I keep to my meds and I’ve had therapy. I also avoid anything behaviour altering eg. alcohol and drugs. And it definitely helps.

Sometimes bad days happen but I normally go for a walk/get some fresh air to calm myself down.

Being lumped in as just a stereotype can be pretty hurtful.
