I don’t feel like I can be open about my struggles like people with other mental health disorders can. You see people with depression or anxiety of when ptsd on social media and how they get support and find strength. But I just don’t feel like it’s the same for people with bpd. People don’t understand bpd like they understand depression, anxiety, or ptsd. So I tend to lie about my struggles and will say I deal wirh depression and anxiety when in fact I’m dealing with a more serious mental illness. I can’t be truthful about my journey or find strength in admitting my struggles. I feel judged and stigmatized and like people like us can’t speak out to help end the stigma. People just don’t understand bpd.
