Hi @DannixD @Sirine  and others following. 

It’s nearly 3am and I’m struggling to sleep. I was browsing through Clickview on my iPad in preparation to return to work and came across the movie ‘Searching’. Oh my goodness! My heart is still racing after watching it! Not because it’s full of action. Not because it has awesome actors. Not because of sound/light effects… It was such a clever movie with so many twists and turns. It keeps you breathless until the very end! I’m not even a movie lover, yet I was absolutely drawn in! Btw, it’s about a father who is on a mission to find his missing teenage daughter.

Digressing from that, the reason I’m sharing is because after watching it, my emotional being seems to be in overdrive.

Inside, I’m on fire longing to see movement in the BPD realm. Statistics show the prevalence of BPD in Australia is 2-6%. Yet why do we continually see people posting here about BPD distress - whether as carers or those with lived experience?

When I open the forums’ main page, there are new discussions on a daily basis related to BPD.

Surely together we can find more ways to support our fellow borderlines?

The BPD pain is real. The BPD torment is real. The BPD hurt is real.

When can we make BPD support real-er?

Ive been down the BPD journey and I’m here to tell the story as a survivor.

I want you all to have the support that I had - yet current realities tell me this is not possible in the public system.

What we can do is continue to strengthen, support and encourage each other.

BPD UNITED!
