There’s a new Judd Apatow film being released next Friday that’s both a comedy and an intimate portrayal of Pete Davidson’s life. A lot of it centers around his relationship with his parents and his fathers death, but it’s also going to delve  a bit into some of his mental health issues, and I honestly can’t wait to see how someone with BPD in real life portrays their own illness onscreen. 

I just wanted to say how lovely it is to live in a time when we have a successful public figure who’s willing to talk openly about their struggle with this incredibly difficult and stigmatizing disorder, so we can all feel a little less alone. Those that came before us often had to struggle silently their whole lives and never had so much as a name for what they went through, and we have the internet and Pete Davidson and words like non neurotypical entering the cultural lexicon. I for one feel really lucky.

I also want to say thanks to everyone who has the courage to live openly with this disorder. Each one of you makes it a little bit easier for the next person who comes along.
