Borderline Personality Disorder aka Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder is one of the most misunderstood, stigmatised & complex mental health diagnoses (Thread) #BPD #EUPD #MentalHealthAwareness

[CW suicide/intrusive thoughts/SH] 🧵 I still think about killing myself most days. “But you could kill yourself” is an ingrained response that brings both comfort and what the fuckery. It’s an answer to the most minor of inconveniences to the real overwhelming distress >

One of the most insidious things about feeling depressed is that once you’re in it it feels like it will never be over even though you rationally know it’s got better in the past.

If you have been diagnosed #BPD have you had any professional help for it? If so has it helped?

I'm not a mental health professional, but I can suggest some general coping strategies that people with Borderline Personality Disorder (#BPD) might find helpful. Remember, it's important to consult a qualified mental health professional for personalised advice (Thread)🧵

Suicidal thoughts aren’t always 'I want to die.' They can also manifest as feelings of being trapped, a sense of burden, seeing no future ahead, seeking an escape from thoughts, struggling with unbearable pain, believing things won't improve or feeling incapable of coping.

Very apt for me right now. Fed up with being made to feel everything is all my fault because of my “issues”, actually maybe I deserve to be treated better.

If you deliberately trigger mock someone in #mentalhealth crisis then you are the worst person. I don’t care what you claim to deal with or who you are. Empathy costs nothing. If you don’t agree w something you don’t have to comment. #Bekind online. You could save a life
