Try reaching out to people that suffer like yourself. And to your friends, carer, anyone if you need to if you’re suffering!
I tried that. I’m a big advocate on social media, raising awareness of BPD. And when I can, I reach out to people who are asking for help or when I see that they’re suffering…
Ignored
Today, I asked for somebody to talk to, because I was feeling abandoned, fearful, scared, all different emotions and thoughts that come with BPD. I wanted to ask someone to reach out to me instead. This was on social media, and I know people are busy, etc, but I always seem to be there for everyone else. I’m always helping people, making sure they’re okay, but as shown today when I needed someone nobody bothered!
It really makes you feel ignored, not cared for, not worthy, so now I have that burden on me too.
I think next time I will keep quiet, and just think about myself instead of trying to soothe others. I’m going to self-care now. It’s going to be a tough week for me, and I feel like I’m on my own especially now! I don’t want to sound nasty but this is how I feel!
I’ve written a few pieces on here, and they have been ridiculed and berated by ignorant people, but that won’t stop me. I write my own feelings down, how I see the experience, so just let it be!

Keep fighting and keep talking. Don’t be afraid to just let the feelings out by writing them down. I’ve been in a similar position recently when I was really struggling and tried to reach out with my blog posts but the result was so disheartening as you can see via my links below. But keep going. I’ve read your words and am reaching out to you. Please look after yourself.
