| Introduction | Hi, my name is Holly, and I have Borderline Personality Disorder, but I am not BPD. I am the change I want to see in the world. I believe in compassion and self-awareness. I believe in having the courage to look yourself in the mirror. I find wisdom and guidance in Buddhism and Yoga. I have problems with needing validation/acceptance, with being judged. I get anxious easily and fall into pits of hopelessness. I get needy and impulsive. At the same time, I’m competent and confident. I’m a lot of things that are in conflict with each other, and I’m trying to learn that not everything has to be one or the other. I don't experience the world like most people do, and it's hard to have a condition that is stigmatized and judged. I'm on a quest to allow myself to find and love my true self, and hopefully someday I won’t need to care about being judged because I’ll be comfortable enough with knowing who I am. I know I'm an amazing person, I just don't believe it. I'm a free bird trapped in a cage of depression and borderline hatred, but I am taking these broken wings and learning to fly. I am stronger than this personality disorder. |
