Thanks for this post. Like you, I am a high functioning, white woman with BPD. Lately, the stigma of this disorder has thrown me into a lot of self loathing and doubt, even though my symptoms are under control and I’m not currently acting out. I need help but I’m afraid to ask for it. I feel like there’s no space for even normal amounts of anger or disappointment. I feel like I have to mask constantly. I feel like a burden that I have to carry because if I don’t, I will break the people I love. It felt very good to hear somebody else articulate what I’ve been feeling. So thank you.
