I am so sick of seeing posts and articles about how hard it is to be around someone with borderline personality disorder (or mental illnesses in general) Like yes, okay I get it’s not a walk in the park and it can be emotionally draining for you but just stop and think for a moment how much fucking harder it is TO ACTUALLY BE THE ONE WITH BPD!! You have NO fucking idea how hard and emotionally draining it is, NO IDEA. These articles make us out to be these horrible, manipulative assholes that everyone says to basically stay away from. Do you realize how damaging that is for us to see and hear? To hear that the emotions that we do not have control over are too damaging to others and they should “avoid people like this” like honestly I see this shit all over tumblr all the time. “Don’t associate with people who act like this:___” and then it describes basically all of the traits of someone suffering from BPD. and then whenever I look for resources online to help me understand or cope with my disorder, 90% of the websites that come up are about how to deal with someone who has BPD. It makes me feel so fucking worthless. TRUST ME ok I KNOW how hard it is to deal with me, I’m stuck with myself every god damn day, I don’t need the rest of the world to tell me as well when I’m trying so fucking hard to learn to accept myself and get better
