Just donated. I hope she can heal emotionally and physically from this traumatic experience. What an incredibly brave and accomplished woman!

Bernie supporters are part of the reason I stopped being one.

I was a Bernie supporter, until I finally realized he couldn’t win. I even donated to his campaign and called people for hours during the primaries. But I would be lying if I said I wasn't PUMPED AS HELL about our first female president. It's about damn time.

Haha, my handle is actually from my favorite episode of Broad City but I’m also not a mom (yet, I sure am trying though)

Ugh, that must be so frustrating. I remember when I was little, my parents would MAKE me hug and kiss my relatives even though I really didn't want to, didn't know them that well, etc. Good on you for talking some sense into those people.

I have NEVER understood why people think that if you're pregnant, all personal space rules go out the window. Don't fucking touch me.

I’ve always wanted to take a tropical vacation by myself. It sounds so relaxing and freeing.

You don’t have to apologize! There really are very few safe(ish) spaces to talk about this stuff online. I think I’ve got the same kinda deal going on—anxiety, depression, and weeks-long periods of intense euphoria followed by periods of irritability and deep depression. A DSM melting pot, if you will.

I'm in DC visiting my parents with my SO and I sweartagod I'm going to go insane if I don't have a distraction. Gawker and Jezebel are kinda dry on the post front right now so just tell me about your best and worst vacations I guess

Split on them and ignore them so they can’t ignore me or B. say some passive aggressive shit like “oh I’ll stop bothering you I guess”. And I KNOW I'm being a dumbass…

Thanks for your support :) This disorder is hell to live with, and a lot of people don’t realize how much harder it is for US to cope with our symptoms than it is for them to “deal” with us. I swear I’ve seen more articles online about how to “deal” with someone with bpd than articles about how I can cope with my own…

Thank you so much :) I’ve tried different therapists over the years but I’ve found it really is hard to open up to a stranger like that, especially knowing the attitude some doctors have about my disorder. Ironically, I think I’ve made a ton of progress just simply by researching my diagnosis and trying to understand…

I made a burner account just to comment on this post. I have bpd. I was diagnosed at 17, which is rare but it can happen. I understand that the OP has apologized and that’s all well and good. No one will probably see this because I’m in the greys but I just wanted to thank every single person who commented here in…
