BPD month and raising awareness... please please read and share

This month is BPD (borderline personality disorder) awareness month, and being someone who suffers from this I know how important it is to raise awareness and get rid of the stigma of a 'personality disorder'.
Although not as widely known as bipolar disorder it is actually a much more common illness, there are many people out there who are extremely judgemental and promote hatred towards BPD suffers, just look at youtube. But if they even tried to understand a bit of the hell it is having BPD, we do have our ups and downs just extreme, if you think its hard coping with a person with constant rapid extreme mood swings try  and imagine how it feels to be having them. You spend your days on an emotional rollercoaster unable to make sense of your own emotions, its chaos inside your head and you can't think. When you get angry it feels like an uncontrollable rage, and when you feel low you just wanna die. Self harm is common amongst those with BPD, its an outlet a way to make us feel real to release the pain inside, it just hurts so much and you feel unworthy of love, alone, you feel like you are such an evil person that doesn't deserve to live or be happy. Those who have severe tendency to depression like me, you can have delusions of paranoia and hear voices telling you that you are evil, selfish, you don't deserve to be happy and that everyone would be happier if you died, nobody cares about you. You don't see a future its just a dark emptyness. We see how we hurt people and that only worsens how we feel, we lash out one minute then pray you don't leave us the next. The way we act is not intentional to hurt and be manipulative, we hurt so much inside you just can't see how broken we are.

Having BPD is like a death sentence half the doctors don't care and can't be bothered to help us because it's a hard job, but those Bipolar are treated quickly and cared for while we suffer in silence. BPD is like bipolar but the mood changes are more extreme and last minutes to hours not weeks to months.
