I already lost my sister to bpd suicide. Bpd split my entire family of origin, through murder and estrangement. Now, at 50 I finally get my diagnosis, the answer! But it's too late. I have multiple physical and mental health diagnosis. I have no way to access mental health therapies. Thanks bpd! I can't wait until I have the sheer guts my sister had when she put a stop to the suffering.

thankyou so much for making this vodae,with you in the world there is hope,am in the uk,found out i have bpd,am so happy just now coz i feel at peace with myself,am 33 drugs money stealing hurt ive had it all i lose everyone i love,ive tryed suicide at its a easy way out,am still here still abit lost ive just started to have dbt so i hope it makes me alot more awherelike you i have about 8 out of the 10 symptoms but am happy just now its when i crash thats when i worry coz it happens alot:)
Thanks for sharing and being brave. I am a mother, wife, and struggling.no one knows how painful my life is. Over 20 yrs seeing many therapist just diagnosed. I don't trust them that anymore, they had no clue at all. There is no hope. I wish we all could do something about all BPD people like me that have no support. BPD is more dangerous and harmful to us and people around us than any CANCER or AIDS. I wish someone teach me how to LIVE." I want to live". God Bless You. if there is one!
This also brought tears to my eyes, because i know how she feels. I just wanna learn how to live, without thinking about death everyday and learning to love myself like Ms. Wang said. I hope more people view this video, for they will better understand those inflicted with bpd.
Thank you for sharing your and heathers story, I can finally say there is someone out there who totally understands the life I am living. I am currently struggling with bpd and have been for 8yrs, with mis diagnosis, so many medications I cant even count anymore, and inadiquate mental health help. I have lost my job struggle with relationships and have distanced my self from everyone. thank you for hope. God bless you and Heather

I have the same. It's horrible

How do I see what's real, and not only the things I imagine?
How do I make friends, and keep them from becoming lovers?
How do I learn that being used is not being compassionate?
How do I learn that death is bitter and life is sweet?
How do I get out of my head?
How do I give myself the identity of 'Me'?
Help me. Please.

That was a very beautifully tragic and perhaps even hopeful story. :) It makes me feel hopeful as well.

For a non-bpd your video brought tears to my eyes. It provided greater understanding of what my bpd was going through
