I see everyone talking about how Clementine from Eternal Sunshine and how Annie from Maniac are such great depictions of borderline, but I don't feel the same way at all. I've never met anyone that outwardly impulsive and very rarely seen anyone who doesn't conform to society to that degree. Maybe it's less common to be an internally self-destructive pwBPD but I haven't seen any representation of that kind of BPD in media- though I know there are real people like that out here (myself included.) The kind that can't get racing thoughts out of their head but turns around and smiles and puts other people's needs above their own. The kind who have constant suicidal thoughts, ideation, and feelings of emptiness but chug on nonetheless to pursue dreams they once believed in. The kind who splits but battles those thoughts in their head.

Both Clementine and Annie seem overly exaggerated ideas of what BPD looks and feels like to people without BPD. I'd like to think there are examples of characters in media who have BPD but haven't allowed it to ruin their public persona, career, overall health. Anybody know of any?
