#bpd positivity

[sin-esthezia]

the thing that gets me the most about ableism against pd’s is that ppl will be like “these disorders make you an ASSHOLE!!!!” and then turn around and pretend that other disorders can’t and don’t make you act shitty.

depression and anxiety can make you irritable and snappy. they can cause you to refuse to listen to people and to be distant and withdrawn. they can cause you to seem angry, bitchy, rude, uncaring, etc.

ptsd causes an array of difficulties in forming meaningful relationships. it pretty much shakes up your entire worldview and sense of self a lot of the time. ptsd can cause you to get angry often. it can cause you to yell and scream. it can cause you to withdraw from others, run away, or cut them out. it can cause general changes in demeanor and more cynical worldviews. it can make you seem grouchy, negative, explosive, impolite, difficult, needy, controlling, etc.

and yet when people with personality disorders have symptoms of that nature, suddenly we are irredeemable monsters. when it’s npd, bpd, hpd, or aspd instead of ptsd or depression and anxiety, people suddenly and magically lose the ability to be understanding.

mental illness is an explanation, not an excuse. i firmly believe that. hurting others is never justified simply because you have any disorder.

but if you can be patient with people who have depression, anxiety, ptsd, ocd, or any other more well understood mental illness, you can be patient with us.

hey i just wanted to give a shout out to people with personality disorders real quick. your disorder doesn't make you evil, it doesnt make you an abuser, and it doesnt make you unlovable. you're just as deserving of respect, care, and support as people without personality disorders. stay safe, i love you and i hope you have a happy holiday season. we're in this together <3

repeat after me you guys, BPD culture is working to understand your emotions and handle them in a healthy way instead of trying to hide them or push them down. BPD culture is using communication to have healthy relationships and flourishing friendships. BPD culture is taking accountability for your mistakes and learning how to fix them. BPD culture is working to feel more comfortable with asking for help/using support systems. BPD culture is recognizing that you are not a bad person because of your disorder and that you deserve to be happy and live a happy and fulfilling life. BPD culture is knowing that we are not alone, and that we do not have to suffer forever. BPD culture is never giving up hope. We can do it you guys, I promise you we can.

<3!!! /p

Hi, your existence isn't a crime, actually.

Your mental illness doesn't have morals. Neither does mine. But that doesn't make us hopeless, and we exist on this planet for a reason.

Whether it's NPD, paraphilias, BPD, or any other disorder so commonly villainized and hated, we stand together and as a community. You belong, you are seen, and you are loved.

Them : “I have NPD/ BPD / im a sociopath so u probs dont wanna date me”

[epick-cluster-b-blog]

so i’ve been thinking again, and i wanna make an important reminder for my fellow cluster b folks and trauma survivors.

healing involves evaluating your current behaviors, how they may be harmful to yourself and others, and then replacing those behaviors with more constructive coping skills.

in order to do that, it’s important to approach the healing process without judgment. especially when you have a cluster b disorder or any personality disorder, it can be hard not to judge yourself as a bad person because of your maladaptive behaviors. you may see yourself as selfish, for example, because of possessive or dismissive actions.

but remember that being selfish is a survival instinct—your body and mind wants to look out for itself first, that’s totally normal. even though the results of that desire may be harmful, it’s best to acknowledge and accept that those maladaptive behaviors are a trauma response, and there is no reason to judge yourself for that.

self-love can feel nigh impossible for cluster b’s but it’s so important to our healing to at least try! i love yall and i believe in you!

BPD positives that don't suck

I have BPD but I never feel recognized in those posts since they focus on empathy and well, I barely experience empathy! Here's one without empathy being the main positive.

We can be...

extremely passionate when we love something or someone.

extremely loyal too!

creative with art, writing, daydreaming, thinking, etc.

very curious and want to learn more about ourselves.

bold, spontaneous, or willing to try new things.

able to feel music with our whole body and soul.

be really resilient and determined.

Anyways FUCK cluster b people throwing each other under the bus, instead we should all hold hands and kiss

[ndcultureis]

With that being said, your BPD does not make you a bad person. Your NPD doesn’t make you a bad person. No cluster b personality disorder makes you inherently bad, and I think a lot of people need to be reminded of this more often.

I don’t like saying or seeing “you are loved” on posts like this, so I’ll say this to anyone with a personality disorder who needs to hear it;

you’re doing a good job. /gen

[sin-esthezia]

hey this is a little reminder i need for myself but other people definitely need it too.

accepting and acknowledging your cluster b traits does NOT make you an asshole or a bad person. even when your thought processes sound EVIL and TERRIBLE and BAD, they are not evil and terrible and bad. it's all about managing your symptoms and you being here reading this post means that you are trying your best. you are not evil because of your disorder. you are you, and you are beautiful. <3

[neuroticboyfriend]

there is more to you than your struggles, your wrongdoings, your past, and your present. there always will be. please don't judge yourself too hard, and advocate for yourself when others judge you.
