I fear the day I become a parent. I fear that my BPD will hurt them. That my emotions will control me instead of me controlling my emotions. I am afraid my children might develop it, I'm afraid my children will be negatively impacted by it, and I fear I will fail them.
BPD is acknowledged to be one of the most emotionally painful mental illnesses/disorders you can have. please keep that in mind when you think we are overreacting or making a big deal out of something small. it’s not small to us
Ppl without bpd see us with bpd as "open minded" and while this concept is partially (you become highly accepting of all aspects of life when you're constantly accused of stigma) I think ppl with bpd are often open minded bc we crave seeking out new experiences to make us numb
