BPD set to music. blue october.

[Family Court Strategies: When Your Partner Has BPD OR NPD Traits.]

Not sure if it's been mentioned on here before or not, but the singer for blue October suffers from BPD and chronicles it in every song. "Hate me" is pretty much the reverse perspective of What we are all going through,  and "ugly side" is pretty much his confession to someone that he loves.

If you ever get the chance to see them live then don't miss it. I cut my teeth playing in hair bands and after spending 15 years in music, I can't think of too many singers that give a more emotional performance... .

Thank you for sharing, evilpepsi.  I read a lot of the lyrics and found them very interesting. "Hate Me" reminds me a lot of my exBPDbf, who's said very similar things to me. (Also very familiar were "Sexual Powertrip" and "She's My Ride Home."

I love seeing how people express themselves through art. It really does help humanize us all, so we can come to a better understanding.

the lyrics to "hate me" made so much sense of the last 2 years. I wish there was something I could do to help her. I will always love that girl. In a way, she said things to me that made it seem as if she was trying to get me to hate her. The night she broke up with me, I cried like a baby. She said, "look at all I've done to you." I would still do anything for her. I know I would.
