Or anthems, if you have more than one. I'm just curious as to what songs people know that really get to the heart of the disorder, cuz I love talking about music and oh boy does it hit sometimes. (Maybe I could even put together a playlist of everything? That could be fun for people who find music cathartic.)


For me, the main one is I Think I'm Paranoid by Garbage, which has always come off to me as a perfect example of thought patterns in relationships when you have BPD. I actually had a conversation with my mom (who doesn't have BPD) about how she dislikes the lyrics to the song, because in her eyes it romanticizes abuse, but I was like, "No way, this is obviously her venting about internal disordered thought patterns." After a year of jamming out to it and being amazed at how well it fit, it occurred to me that I could look it up, and yeah, Shirley Manson has talked openly about having BPD.
