I'm taking a class at uni (Abnormal Psych) and of course, we have to write a paper, but it can't be about something he's talking about in class.

Last night I had a brilliant idea, so I talked to him after my session today.

I told him I feel like I'm more qualified than he is to talk about BPD, and since he's covering it in class, I can't do my paper on it.

So - I asked if I could teach that section in lieu of doing a paper. He said yes!! So - next week I am presenting in both Abnormal Psych classes on BPD. I've included myself as a case study, and talked about symptoms, causes, treatment, and stats.

Is there anything else I should include? I only have 30 minutes.

Congratulations! The only other thing that occurs to me is to perhaps talk about ways you cope day-to-day with your BPD.

Yep got that too!! And I added a section on NOT self-diagnosing and what you should do if this resonates with you and you think you're affected. I'm really proud of what I put together... I can't wait to present it on Wednesday.

I know I'm probably too late with this but are you going to discuss severe bpd in your class such as instant mood swings that go from one extreme to the other( an example would be loving someone very deeply then in the next second not understand why you ever loved that person to begin with and struggle to figure out why) I go through this in the blink of an eye and I don't even realize its happened until reality smacks me in the face and I realize I feel absolutely nothing for that person at all. No empathy, no sympathy, absolutely nothing at all. Maybe ask your teacher about it I would be really curious to hear more about why I do this

That is one of the symptoms of BPD. It’s called “splitting”.
