Hi @Jacaranda84 ,

Welcome, welcome, welcome to our BPD thread here! I'm so happy to hear you want to be an advocate for a highly-stigmatised disorder.

Surrounding social media, as @Former-Member mentioned, we don't share personal accounts. Not that I have an account to share! For my sanity and mental health's sake, I do not have any personal social media accounts. I wanted to move on in life, and not look at everybody else's highlighted and spiced up life. As far as I was concerned, social media posts was not reality. As a borderline, Im not sure if you ever feel bouts of jealousy - I certainly did, and social media did not help.

Anyway, @Jacaranda84 , I'm so glad you have found us. Please feel free to share your story, questions, wonderings, and vents.

Ive been through, and continue to travel, a long and tumultuous BPD journey. It has been and continues to be such a rich, rewarding, satisfying awakening.

I hope to continue riding out the BPD waves with a network of support people on these forums - including you.

Take care,

BPDSurvivor
