I'm also looking for more thorough criticisms of the medical narrative or other hurtful neurotypicalist ********.
One thing I kind of had in mind was posting pictures of borderline people crying, because I think that that's beautiful and I think that that's great because we need to do it every so often. I had a breakdown last night and I'm kind of kicking myself for not taking a picture, but that's okay because I give it a week tops before I have another one.
I was also thinking about posting some of the stuff from the "you know you're borderline if..." thread, because that stuff has definitely cheered me up in a really meaningful long-term way and it's made some of the horrible stuff I go through seem less permanent because I can always think back to when I was making fun of this situation with people who understand and that I'm not going to feel horrible forever. How would everyone feel about that?

You're right. Not a whole lot exists about the benefits of being Borderline. And there are benefits. The ability to feel emotions so strongly that you are able to perceive other peoples moods fast and accurately. Almost as if you have ESP.
