(Slight TW: suicidal)

So I somehow stumbled upon an anti-BPD sub Reddit and people were doing the same old ignorant shit such as comparing us to people with NPD, saying we’re manipulative and a whole bunch of other unnecessary, and insensitive things. Now I don’t know about you guys, but favourite people are the WORST for me. They trigger me so much and I generally will end up suicidal and everything else which comes with BPD. It leaves you riddled with pain, anger, guilt and shame. You’re constantly frustrated with everything around you because you want to make things better, but only makes things worse, causing you to split with them and split with yourself and everything just tumbles into a downward spiral which you can’t work your way out of again. NO ONE CHOOSES THIS. No one in their right mind would choose to go through this, and many would not want to put others through it. It hurts me so much when people don’t realise that having an FP is just as stressful and hurtful for us, as it is for the FP. We feel a multitude of emotions all the time anyway, and that’s intensified when you put an FP into the mix. I’m in no way saying you have to stay with someone with BPD if it’s too much for you, but please don’t make it out like we’re actively choosing to be like this. A lot of us try our very best, but there’s only so much we can do. Just a tiny bit of compassion would help us so much opposed to constant condemnation, especially if we recognise our faults and do try and stone for them
