I'm tired of feeling like BPD is one of the most silenced major mental illnesses. Recently, I've noticed so many popular millennial social networking and entertainment sites publish videos and articles about depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, and the like during mental illness awareness month. Then I'll do a site-wide search for anything related to borderline and...nothing. No awareness, no "how it feels like to live with BPD" articles, no Buzzfeed videos, nothing. Is it because no one wants to talk about it or because no one is aware of it? Honestly any simple google search regarding borderline usually comes up with articles like "how to **deal** with someone who has BPD" "how to safely break up with someone who has BPD" "how to cope with your BPD girl/boyfriend" an its so painful. Whats even worse is reading blog/forum user comments about people who have dated or experienced those suffering with borderline. Examples include "women with BPD are like emotional leeches" "get out as fast as you can" "BPD's are crazy and soul sucking. not worth it". Has anyone else felt this way or am I being overly sensitive?
