I literally hate some of the things I read about BPD. I was looking for articles/info online to give my friends about BPD so they know how it affects me and my relationships and so many of them say things that I just don’t feel is correct. For example describing relationships with us as “tumultuous” and “emotionally draining”. I mean I realise that difficulty in relationships is such a huge part of BPD, but so many of us work so, so hard to be the best people we can, and we also have even more love and empathy to give than other people! I just feel like it’s so unfair that it’s so easy to access articles online that say things like “manipulative” and “destructive” when most of us are just doing our best to navigate normal life with these intense emotions and feelings about people. Yes, BPD can be awful and cause us to act in ways we aren’t proud of, but we do our best to not let it control us and we have so much love to give. 

TL;DR- I’m a fucking good person and a great friend and I’m sick of reading about how difficult it is to know us.
