You have no doubt seen or heard the commercials: "Where does depression hurt? EVERYWHERE. Who does depression hurt? EVERYONE." Mental illnesses can consume you, take over your entire life and hurt everyone around you if you let it. I am no exception.

My life feels like I am stuck riding on a rollercoaster in the middle of a hurricane. I have ups and downs, and I have left a path of destruction in my wake. My sanity dangles on a tiny fragile string, and through this blog I am giving the world a look into my broken mind and my unstable life.

In the end, I am just a girl trying to maintain my sanity in a candy-coated world of misery. Here you'll get a glimpse at just how true those commercials are. Keep your arms and legs inside the blog at all times, hold on tight, and prepare yourself for a very bumpy ride ...

RethinkBPD

Thanks to Amanda Smith of the Florida Borderline Personality Disorder Association and her newsletter, I found out about a new awesome project called RethinkBPD. I've posted information from the RethinkBPD website below. Click here to go to the site.


Sharing Your Story to Help Others

RethinkBPD is an independent documentary, website and social movement bringing the most in-depth portrait of the BPD experience to a national audience. Would you like to be a part of the movement that helps change how we see and treat mental illness? Here’s how you can help.

Our character-driven documentary is looking for people willing to share their stories and experience with Borderline Personality Disorder. We are seeking those who will be comfortable and open sharing their lives and BPD diagnosis with others, with a potential to reach a national audience.

As a documentary intended to air on public television, sharing your story is a real opportunity to raise awareness, dispel myths and combat stigma long associated with BPD. Your story can help those in similar situations as well as shed light to a broader audience on the importance of appropriate treatment and diagnosis.

The documentary will be produced with the utmost respect and sensitivity for those we are helping to tell their stories. It is important for us to have people tell their stories in their own words so we can portray the complexities and realities of the BPD experience.

If you would like to share your story with us please email or phone us expressing your interest. We will then set up an off-the-record phone call. Even if you are not sure if you would like to participate in the documentary (no-commitment), we would still like to hear your story in order to learn as much as we can about as many different experiences as possible for our research.
