So, next month is BPD awareness month. We have a whole month!
During Mental Illness Awareness week, I offered up my diagnosis to a group of close friends on Facebook (limited audience post). I did this because I felt I needed to stop being ashamed. Of course, not everyone keeps it quiet because they're ashamed, but I did because I was. It was a decision I made after waffling about it for a few years. And, surprisingly (to me, anyway), the outpouring of support from my people was awesome. That positive reaction has me considering what I plan on doing for BPD month. I know we have a ribbon (I think it's grey, which is appropriate - but I've seen one that's black and white, which is also appropriate). There's pins. There's bracelets. There's even a coffee mug  .I am wondering, does anyone have any ideas what they might do for BPD Awareness month (if anything)? |

Well, what do you know? I guess I'll have to change my profile/signature pics to black-and-white! (which, of course, leads to many shades of gray
 )Maybe I'll change my signature to a verse from Sonata Arctica's "In Black and White".

Well most of my wardrobe is black and white and gray so this is perfect. I did not know this. Thank you for sharing.
Hmm, coffee mug. That might be right for me. LOL I love coffee, like oh my put the IV drip in my arm and turn it on strong brew. LOL
