Okay so basically this is exactly what it sounds like. This thread will be a place for people to come to if/when they need someone to vent/talk/complain/whatever to. 

Mugiwara and I had a lovely conversation this evening in the sb about our own problems with a really crappy mental illness called Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and it was suggested that we start a thread like this to help people who may be going through the same things or similar things that we are.

Personally speaking, I deal with BPD, Depression, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and they affect my everyday life in big ways - BPD is the worst however. In the span of five minutes I feel upwards of ten separate emotions all at such intensity that it impacts the way I interact with my friends and family.

To quote someone from tumblr:

"Bpd is so scary. Like you’re angry. At yourself. At others. At the world. You don’t know why?? But everything is irritating you and everything is wrong. And it’s so scary because it’s so hard to have a stable relationship with it. The fear of abandonment is too strong and you mess up a lot because of your paranoia. It’s constant jealously and suspicion. You annoy them. You become sort of obsessed with them. All you do is think about them, and you are convinced they don’t think about you. You are convinced you’re the only one who cares in the relationship. You overanalyze their sentences and make everything out to be them losing interest in you. You make arguments about it, drive them away. Or maybe you even push them away. And one day you feel so in love, butterflies in the stomach and everything, and the next, they are stupid and you dont want to talk to them and you get super mean. And then it’s super scary because your moods are extreme. So extreme. Like someone leaves you? You throw your precious belongings out, pull out your hair. Or maybe you just thought they left you, like a small argument or them hanging out with someone else. And maybe you trip in front of someone. You still do those same destructive things because it triggered such bad emotions. You feel overwhelmed and out of control. And god, sometimes you start to dissociate. Your family doesn’t feel real. You don’t feel real. You feel disconnected from your body. Everything seems foggy. It’s super strange and scary. And just really, really depressing. It’s hard to stay alive."

So our goal here isn't to cure anyone, it isn't to "fix" anyone, it's a safe place to talk and a safe place to be heard without fear or shame or guilt. When a few more people get involved/express interest I will share my story in a bit more detail and hopefully inspire some of you guys to do the same. All I want is for everyone to feel like they have a safe place to talk to someone.
