May is Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Month!
It’s May — that time of the year when we get the spotlight to spread more hope and encouragement and to smack-down stigmas surrounding Borderline Personality Disorder.
If you write a blog post, do a video, create art, or anything along these lines to celebrate this month and bring awareness, please let me know by posting to my Facebook page. I’d like to compile your efforts and share them in a blog post.
In the meantime, check out this video I did to kick off the month. In it I respond to your reactions about my recent announcement of my intention to sell the Healing From BPD blog, which I announced yesterday in this post.
As always, your comments are welcomed and encouraged.
Thank you for reading and watching.
More Soon.
Be sure to download and read my books on my process of overcoming the oppressive symptoms of BPD and emerging into my new life in recovery:
I am really grateful that I came across your website when I did. I was diagnosed with BPD about three years ago and have come a long way in my recovery with just a few bumps in the road. I am a writer and have been looking for an opportunity to utilize it as a means to fight stigma for some time, and I recently came up with an idea that's really been working out (on paper, anyway). However, I've had to do A LOT of research on BPD, most especially nons and other triggering sources. Nevertheless, I have watched myself disintegrate within the time I've been working on it and I even walked out of my job a few days ago. I can't believe how much I've unraveled since I started this and was literally wondering when I would ever get back on track when I found your website while doing research. Needless to say, what you are doing is wonderful, positive, and so helpful. Just reading one post from you gave me back a sense of worth. Maybe that's a little sad, but it was something. Thanks for inadvertently helping me.
