10 things about BPD from The Mighty

Someone just emailed me this link from The Mighty. It’s from the perspective of someone who has BPD
https://themighty.com/2015/10/what-you-need-to-know-about-borderline-personality-disorder/
I’ve found myself going back to it again and again. It seems to help me better understand where my DD is struggling with.
Let me know what you think.

I think the writer has done a great job of giving her perspective and I think it's helpful to those trying to understand. It's a quick read with a ton of insight.
I've read similar blog posts from other writers with BPD. When I say, "similar," I mean the main points made in this post are also present in other posts. It does help to know that the behaviors, feelings, thoughts, and actions of a pwBPD are BECAUSE of BPD. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone but me.

Hi Daisy.
Thank you for that read... I will re-read it until it becomes part of my new dictionary... I want so much to be in a place of understanding with mY D...
As a former counselor I always tried to be in a place of understanding of why they got the way they did...
Thanks
