I read that we would say/do/act anything to ultimately con ppl into saving the damsel in distress that we all believe we are. We are self victimising monsters that are either, in a relationship, either being abused or have become the abuser, and what with our 'splitting' can alternate between the two...so we are either wanting to be saved, so we play the victim or when we see the split person as the abuser, we then in fact become the abuser.

Am I to believe that what I perceive as love, pain, sadness are all ********? Am I to believe that I am in this vicious circle that will never end of me being the victim or abuser? Is it true that although all my feelings feel real to me they are all infact some sick twisted version of real emotion?

Am I really this monster with no real feelings? I mean as in what is real to a person without BPD?

IS my whole life and personality a manifestation of my illness?

Please help understand what I just read. I don't even know if I am equipped to deal with such a truth. But if it is the truth, I must know it is if I have any hope or truly becoming a 'real' decent person.

I am sorry if my writing or explanation isn't great, I am not good with words....

I really need someone with a huge amount of self awareness and strength to read what I just read and give me some perspective. Is there anyone that feel they could read something like this and maybe shed a different light or perspective on it?

I am not willing to post the link for all to see for the fear it will do to you what it just did to me....but please, if think you are strong enough to read it pls tell me and I will pm it to you for a set of fresh eyes and hopefully some insight into what this guy wrote.
Hi, I would like the link to this article; it actually sounds like "he/she" is the real monster!!!
I think I'm strong enough to defeat that creep! Thanks Jeremiahgirl :@)

That makes me sick. I honestly can't finish reading that. I've been recently diagnosed and those articles make me feel like as if I have no hope of getting better.

I know it is totally disgusting....what you just saw is only a small portion of what this guy wrote.

It was my first time coming across an article like that so mean towards BPD....I will be more careful of what I read next time!

I must say, there certainly is chance of getting better..it will more than likely involve therapy and time but it can certainly be more manageable

I'm not diagnosed with BPD--I have schizoaffective--so I hope it's okay to post here. I do find DBT helpful, though, so maybe I have some of the traits…

I wanted to say that when I was in the hospital with my first psychotic episode, I was on a general unit with a roommate who had BPD. The staff treated her terribly, but she was a genuinely kind person who made me feel comfortable in a scary environment (I had been involuntarily committed and had never been in the hospital prior to that, so the whole situation was a bit of a shock). She was one of the nicest, most patient people I've ever met, but because she was there for self-injury and mood-dysregulation, the staff assumed everything she did was attention-seeking. I'm so mad now when I think back to the situation because this young woman basically kept me from freaking out so badly that I would have been restrained. I guess I'm rambling now, but my point is that my roommate was not a "toxic" person, but rather my hero because she helped me calm down and feel comfortable in my new environment. I just thought I'd share that because I want you to know that not everyone is against those with BPD--I think the stigma is way overblown based on my limited experiences, and that people with this disorder have much to offer the world.

Best,
Hope
