I remember getting my BPD diagnosis (after receiving a bipolar diagnosis years before) and hearing that it’s not from a chemical imbalance but that it’s developmental and realizing that I could be a totally different (and healthy) person. My meds seem to be doing their job, but it’s so hard to hear my mom tell me “you need to change your lifestyle”. Like I can barely pinpoint what emotion I’m feeling rn tfym change my lifestyle😭😭😭 we ball tho🔥🔥🔥

Maybe it is, but we can at least try to make our time here enjoyable. I’d rather have a handful of good experiences and still kill myself than let myself rot in despair and refuse to enjoy things, yknow?
