My daily struggle goes a lot like this..... #BPD #warrior

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a complex mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While some symptoms of BPD are well-known, there are also secret symptoms that often go unnoticed. These hidden signs can have a significant impact on the lives of individuals with BPD, as well as their relationships and overall well-being.
One secret symptom of BPD is emotional dysregulation. People with BPD often experience intense and rapidly shifting emotions, which can be difficult to manage. They may go from feeling extreme happiness to deep sadness or anger within a short period of time. This emotional rollercoaster can be exhausting and overwhelming, leading to impulsive behaviors and strained relationships. Another secret symptom of BPD is chronic feelings of emptiness. Individuals with BPD often struggle with a persistent sense of inner emptiness, as if something is missing from their lives. This emptiness can be incredibly distressing and may lead to impulsive behaviors, such as excessive spending, substance abuse, or engaging in risky sexual activities, in an attempt to fill the void. Lastly, individuals with BPD may also experience intense fear of abandonment. This fear can manifest in various ways, such as constantly seeking reassurance and validation from others, becoming overly dependent on others for emotional support, or engaging in self-destructive behaviors as a way to test the loyalty of their loved ones. This fear of abandonment can strain relationships and make it difficult for individuals with BPD to maintain healthy connections with others.in conclusion, while borderline personality disorder is often associated with well-known symptoms such as mood swings and unstable relationships, there are also secret symptoms that are not commonly discussed. Emotional dysregulation, chronic feelings of emptiness, and intense fear of abandonment are just a few examples of these hidden signs. Recognizing and understanding these secret symptoms is crucial in order to provide appropriate support and treatment for individuals with BPD.If you or anyone that you know are silently struggling with a mental health disorder know that you are NOT alone. Reach out for help because there is hope even if you feel like there isn’t!

Wanna know what brings me joy?

Conversationally questioning my narcissistic parents for the way they abused me as an undiagnosed child on the spectrum, and watching them run away in fear of facing they’re wrong doings. Too bad I didn’t get to run away as a child though, they demanded I stay put while they basically berated me for being neurodivergent 🙄. It’s oddly cathartic and healing my inner demons. The more I heal the stronger I feel! #narcissisticabusesurvivor #MentalHealth #ChronicIllness #warrior

Stronger Together

The strength it takes to push through each day is only understood by the survivors. Unfortunately, the survivors to often feel they have to fight the battle alone and in silence. There is strength in numbers and knowledge is power. The more we share our stories the stronger we are with the knowledge of other survivors and their experiences. #Survivor #Survivors #warrior

"You Never Know" by Blackpink sounds like a chronic illness anthem

If you are a kpop fan or even just a music fan, I recommend listening to You Never Know by Blackpink. It genuinely sounds like an anthem for people with chronic illnesses/disabilities. It really reminded me of the last good days I had back three years ago. It's such an amazing song in general but it sounds like the feelings you feel after a truly devastating life event like getting sick forever.

You are not alone #warrior #ChronicIllness

It's hard to keep it all inside, when feelings run so deep,
The pain and fear, the hurt and doubt, all locked inside to keep.
It's easy to feel so alone, when the world just moves on by,
And no one seems to understand, the battles you must fight.
You put on a brave face each day, hiding all that you feel,
Pretending that you're okay, when inside it's not so real.
The weight of it all, so heavy, bearing down on your heart,
And still you soldier on, though it tears you all apart.
But know this, dear one, you are not alone in this fight,
For there are others like you, who also hold things tight.
Who keep their pain concealed, and face the world with grace,
And find a way to carry on, in their own quiet place.
So reach out and connect, and let someone in,
For sharing your struggles, can ease the weight within.
Together we are stronger, and together we can cope,
And lift each other up, when we feel like giving up hope.
