So I have bpd and I’m writing a story about a character with bpd, as I’m so sick of the whole narrative being so against us. 

I posted my chapter by chapter breakdown on another site and every single (literally) person with bpd said I got it spot on (of course it manifests case by case, but as it’s quite a broad diagnosis they could all relate to at least some of it) and people without bpd said that they had no idea bpd people suffered so much, as they thought we were perpetrators more than victims 

Anyway the story, in case you’re interested to know, is about the bpd girl breaking out of hospital with an addict (I am also an addict and, honestly, I think addicts and bpd people are pretty similar just going off of myself and other addict/bpd people I know) and they go on a road trip, of course it’s not romantic as they are both very sick people who bond over the wrong things, but in the end they decide to go back to hospital as they realise they aren’t doomed to be sick, but they need proper help if they want to get well: so the bpd girl learns radical acceptance, impulse control and all the dear man etc ways to communicating 

If anyone wants to read it let me know, I’m currently working on publishing a different book, but this story (the road trip one) has gotten all positive reviews, barring one review 

Anyway, here’s hoping I can erase some stigma and help our community be heard
