is so wild.

I'm going to write a little thread about some recent concepts.

1. This label is unethical.

When we get introduced to this label we become desperate to "heal".

"I don't want to be that person anymore".

Instantly we are set up to fail.

Not wanting to be who you are is the foundation of wanting to unalive yourself. That person is validly responding to a world both overwhelming & consuming them.

A juicy human bug for the spider of patriarchal capitalism.

2. There are two halves to me.

Joe Tracini (I know him from Twitter) makes wonderful BPD vids that show this expertly.

The BPD half cuts me down & then has me project this negative self worth concept on to others.

Then believing/understanding they have developed these feelings about me independently.

3. This is the foundation of my isolation.

This negative self talk (think: inner monologue that won't stop talking no matter what I do) is projected on everybody without me realising. And as clever as I am, I believe it.

After all I don't read people's responses correctly.

4. Being open vs. being vulnerable.

The core of BPD is shame, an inability to feel it, recognise it, process it. It dysregulates me at light speed.

Processing shame requires vulnerability. Being vulnerable means being ok with people not liking me.

5. The grey area always wins. The grey area is where it's easiest to hold multiple truths simultaneously.

I think kindness lives in the grey area.

Now I just gotta find out if my favourites from Twitter are here... I've had this and been using it in and off again since the first big Twitter meltdown - seems like a waste of a username/account if I don't use it...

By the way y'all - music is like my center/grounding thing, so I do posts... They may or may not annoy you.

Y’all, I’m on my way home from @NASSPDorg and it left me so inspired. The future of research will be driven by lived experience, inclusion, and access. It’s bright!

Given that I've been going flat out in almost every minute of my spare time for two weeks thinking about essentially nothing but soap making, I can be forgiven for wondering if I'm having a hypomanic episode.

Thrills galore.

I hope I don't crash out of this and find myself owning a soap making company I don't have any interest in...

Morning everyone! Regrettably, I must once again plead for monetary assistance from strangers. Yes, it's another request.

gofund.me/135b1b52

My partner is still struggling with what is likely severe fatigue from and/or covid-induced diabetes (glucose monitor should be arriving today, and we're researching what options if any for LC consultation in our area) and while I'm faring a bit better than him, I'm still dealing with minor problems as well as the ever-delightful effects of my constant companion, .

All of these factors combine to cause a huge loss of income for us; we're essentially in our society because we're not being "productive" enough thanks to and medical challenges - even though we WANT to be productive. Hooray for capitalism!

But I digress. I'm sorry we need your help again; we're almost out of dog food, and my car insurance is about to lapse. Of course I need my car to get to work, and legally it needs to be insured to do so.

If you are willing AND able to contribute so we can at the very least keep our portly fed, my partner and I would be deeply grateful. We've had some insanely generous people here on the but I hope we can find a few more to help us get by a little longer.

Thank you all for contributing, boosting, and providing emotional support & encouragement. It means the world to our little queer family.

MDs, psychiatrists, & psychologists must learn about & in order to have a broader view of issues which present like , , and . This will be my topic at the 9th International Trauma Congress in Amsterdam this summer. I am very about addressing MDs because I don’t have a medical background - but the topic is too important not to share. I hope it is well accepted.

Here’s the rest. I’m so exhausted and upset after this. It’s an uphill battle to get people to see us as humans and have empathy for us. One person went even as far to say that people should stay away from people with mental illnesses and not be in relationships with them because it will hurt them. Like we don’t deserve happiness and love and relationships. :( 3/

Wow people can be so cruel to us people with bpd. I just spent what felt like wasted breath arguing with people on instagram that were being straight up awful to this girl with bpd who they knew nothing about besides the fact that she has bpd and was celebrating working together in therapy with her husband. Just wow.1/
