I realized that as crazy as I am.. the one thing that is consistent is that I never stop loving the people I love. In the moment, my episodes feel so very real.. there have been times when someone I trusted and loved dearly turned into a complete dangerous stranger in my mind and you could not convince me otherwise. But I know that at the end of the day, I will always love and accept everyone. People see my BPD and some of them abandon me (and even though that HURTS and can manifest into anger and hatred, I STILL care for those people and love them and will always welcome them back if they ever want to be in my life). But for the ones that haven’t abandoned me, I cannot even express the level of gratitude and love I feel. And I realized that one good thing about me is.. even if I judge in the moment or I get hate-y.. I think I do ultimately accept people for all that they are. Because I understand how crazy a human mind can get, and that does NOT define a person. I can stick through the crazy, in myself, and in the people I love.. because those are just moments. We will get through them. And there are so many beautiful moments ahead too. I hope you have someone in your life who accepts all of you, and if you don’t, then please know that I do. Even if that doesn’t really do anything for you since I am a stranger from the internet, I hope you realize there are so many more like me, like us. Sometimes I think love and acceptance are the key to everything. No matter what disorder you may have, no matter your flaws, no matter anything.. you should be loved. BPD makes it hard for us to love ourselves, and the world constantly telling us we are horrible people makes it even harder. I’ve only been able to heal due to having friends who really really loved me and were patient with me. I want to give that to as many people as possible and I will do my best to encourage others to do the same. If we all learn to be more open and understanding, I do think the storminess will be much easier to manage - for us, and for the people around us.
