May is BPD Awareness Month

I found this image on FB and really appreciated it as a frank portrayal of that which I live. It shows the reality including the worst of the worst and some of the best treatments and a little equation for hope at the bottom.

Yes, it's simplistic and I think people could get some other symptoms confused with BPD (likek bipolar or depression or OCD) but it's an introduction to a disease that many know very little about and fear. Makes me want to make my own chart with all the different diagnoses and how they present for me! 

To everyone out there with BPD and those caregivers and family and friends that live beside them I send my love and hope and gratitude for sharing in the challenge and often times battles.

Much Love :o)
