Bioi'm female, 24 years old, in a serious relationship, and live in a small rural town in central Arkansas. my biggest passions in life are animals and nature. i'm emotional, fragile, and somehow resilient. i have a wide range of interests and hobbies, varying shifts in mood, a strange sense of humor, a habit of obsessing over and collecting very random things, a serious kinky streak, and am often confused about life in general. people describe me as multi-faceted and a true pisces.
i created this other journal to have a place to express the darker side of myself that most people don't understand. to share the parts of me that i usually hide. to delve deeper into my disease.
"i know what it's like to want to die. how it hurts to smile. how you try to fit in but you can't.
how you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside."
i was diagnosed with BPD when i was 15. to truly know who i am and how i function, one must understand BPD.
DSM-IV Criteria for BPD
A pervasive pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image, and affects, and marked impulsivity beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
1. Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment.
2. A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation. This is called "splitting."
3. Identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self.
4. Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating).
5. Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior.
6. Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days).
7. Chronic feelings of emptiness.
8. Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights).
9. Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms.
