So, I just signed the official agreement with the therapist today, to be anonymously featured as the main case study for her and her supervisor's newest book on bpd. This is my second time in such a position... A different therapist used me for a journal article a few years ago. Most people may be reading this and wondering why I'm so excited. But to me, this is fantastic news. Bpd is becoming more and more understood, and studied, and the stigmas associated with it are being challenged. I'm proud that my experience with severe bpd will be used to help teach others. I hope that one day, a cure may be found, or at least better therapy developed, because I know first hand how horrible it is to suffer from this monster. I also hope that it brings about more understanding from the public. It hurts being labelled as having a "personality" disorder. It hurts that people are so quick to avoid or blame people like us, without realizing our illness is often linked to trauma, and most of us are trying our hardest to be good people. May this book bring healing and hope to all who read it.
