I was looking through videos at 2 AM in the morning because I couldn’t sleep and I found these videos by Dr. Fox and he’s really good at explaining BPD. I found this analogy to be really good to explain to people what borderline is like because it’s not boring and it’s just very well done.

*Not word for word so I’ll link the video*

“Imagine that you are being shoved into a mason jar and somebody screws the lid on. They may or may not punch holes at the top of it. So you’re sitting there in this mason jar and the world is going around you and everyones living. Sometimes your mason jar is bumped against  by someone but other wise you’re just in this isolation. You feel a sense of abandonment, that you’re not important and you’re totally disconnected from the world. That’s what it’s like to have borderline personality disorder. I exist but I don’t life. “
