Things I wish people knew about BPD :
I literally feel every emotion more intensely than others
My behaviors aren't about manipulating you, it's about protecting myself
Most of my symptoms don't exist unless I'm in a relationship
I love deeper and seek deeper connections than most
I usually don't exhibit certain traits unless I'm triggered
I have this disorder because I never felt safe or comfortable with anyone since a young child, not even my own parents
I just want to create awareness for this disorder because there's so much stigma and misinformation about it
