As a carer for someone with BPD, have you ever heard your loved one say?

• “I hate you!”
• “Why did you leave me?”
• “I don’t know who I am.”
• “Self-harm takes the pain away.”
• “I feel so empty and alone.”
• “No one understands.”
• “I can’t live without you.”

For me, I know I have certainly used these statements...regularly.

For someone with BPD, life may look like this:

Yes – life is like a roller coaster for pwBPD – up, down, round and round. Does this roller coaster ride remind you of how you currently feel?

People with BPD often live in a world of emotional instability. They are so passionate and feel so deeply that it HURTS! These emotions are reliant on what is happening in their environment. For example, hearing a triggering word may send a borderline into complete turmoil or rage.
