Hi everyone,

Thank you for joining us tonight during BPD Awareness Week 2021!

This is a great opportunity to connect and share experiences with each other surrounding your interactions with someone diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

As carers, family members and loved ones of someone with BPD (or perhaps you, yourself, have BPD), I know for a fact that life can get very challenging. Many term it ‘Walking on Eggshells’. That is, you never know what is going to ‘set-off’ one’s BPD!

Question 1

What are some experiences you’ve encountered with someone with BPD?

@BlueBay @Andrab @Judi9877 @WIP @Nells @Aniela @JJ4 @vashi @BPDrose @Luca33 @Sarah_850 @Olliesmum @asdfge @SunflowerMe @magical_journey @Tbo @sarvan @Snoopy56 @Ellan @sanity41 @Laylah @Flossy92 @Bow @Jacaranda84 @LouisianaM @Theodora @Et68 @26aqua @LostAngel @Healing_Journey @TG1108 @BPDCarer1 @DJ228 @Name84 @TomRiddle32 @Dec @PAX1741 @Netty78 @PlantLover @Hannahbanana98 @Kaitlynjade97 @LearningWaters @Janis_J @Hombre @Meggle @TideisTurning @Daisydreamer @cloudcore @Evanthia @Zoe7 @HenryX @ShiningStar @The-Hams @outlander @Determined @Appleblossom @Clawde @Faith-and-Hope @Sphinxly @Emelia8 @TAB @Smallsupporter @Dimity @Sam3 @Smc @MarkTyson @Lilly6 @jem80 @NatureLover @bipolarbunny @Anastasia @AussieRecharger @Fizz @wellwellwellnez @Shaz51

Hi @Bow @MDT @BlueBay @Bill16 @Meowmy !

You're welcome to join us over here

Hi @BPDSurvivor

It’s so lovely to hear from you

Thank you so much for inviting me to participate in this special event - it sounds incredibly interesting

Although I don’t live with Borderline Personality Disorder, I would love to strengthen my understanding about this particular mental health condition and so I’ll definitely join you!

I look forward to seeing you soon

Take care,

ShiningStar

Hi @ShiningStar , welcome!

We have begun already - perhaps a slight mix-up with daylight savings time.

@ShiningStar ,

Actually, BPD is a highly misunderstood diagnosis. Many practitioners deem it 'untreatable'. Often, it is because it requires psychotherapies as opposed to some of the more conventional therapies which involve medication.
