We don't need someone to save us. We don't need someone to give us advice. We need someone to sit with us through our pain and not judge us. We need someone to be there for the ugly parts, not just the good parts.

people with bpd don't need to be palatable in order to deserve support. like you don't need to say "actually, we're empathetic, not manipulative" in order to combat bpd stigma.

borderlines with low/no empathy deserve as much support as ones with empathy. borderlines who manipulate deserve as much support as ones who people please. they're both coping mechanisms, and they both can be harmful to oneself and others.

we all deserve to be supported and to find healthy coping skills. health is a human right. it's not conditional on what kind of person you are, or who people think you are.

@tragicallyphosphorescent

You see, the thing about "sociopaths" it's that they're not real. If you open a psychology book, as you apparently hint to have done at some point, you'll discover that the term you're using isn't only scientifically inaccurate, but an outdated and harmful term used to refer to people with ASPD– Anti-Social Personality Disorder. This cluster B disorder is developed as a coping mechanism by people who suffer from childhood neglect, so people demonize literal abuse survivors for their little "serial killer abuser sociopath" fantasy that they saw in their favorite true crime movie. I would love to know where did you get the objective fact that most "sociopaths" don't seek treatment and hurt people.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder, otherwise known as NPD or just "narcissists", is a disorder that's classified in the cluster B category of personality disorders according to the DSM-V, this disorder is also developed because of childhood neglect. People love to armchair diagnose their abusers with this disorder under the ignorant belief that narcissistic people are selfish and that's it, it's used as an interchangeable term, which couldn't be further from reality. So no, I don't believe in "narcissistic abuse". Abuse is just abuse, an abuser is just an abuser, there's no need to slap anything else alongisde that label.

Just because a manifestation of trauma is different it doesn't mean it's bad. People with ASPD and NPD are as likely to abuse someone as a person without them. Lacking empathy doesn't make someone a bad person, empathy is just the capability to instinctually feel another human's feelings, but it's not the same as sympathy or compassion. A good person is one who's actions do good.

Now, I'm not invalidating the abuse anyone has gone through. If you tell me somebody, anybody, abused you, I believe you. But there's no need to demonize disorders in order to find support or validation.

You can find a free PDF of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. 5th edition (DSM-V) easily on the internet, no need to buy the book itself. I suggest you give it a read to clear up that whole "sociopath" thing and to educate yourself more on the narcissistic personality disorder. As a disclaimer, the DSM-V is highly discussed by the neurodivergent community on a regular basis and some individuals, including myself, have a word or two about certain criteria that needs to be met to get a diagnosis, but I'm advising you to read it as a start.

Sincerely, a borderline with fluctuating empathy that's very tired of watching their cluster B siblings get denied treatment and dignity, because in case you didn't know this, lots of us actively seek treatment but get deemed "too hard to treat" or get actively abused by the medic system IF we are even allowed some sort of therapy. As a neurodivergent person, I'd assume you know of the kinds of horrors people like you and me suffer in psych wards, except people with personality disorders and other demonized illnesses still get thrown around and abused since our disorders aren't deemed as "harmless" as people who suffer from depression and anxiety or people with autism.

my partner mom's sees me as a literal monster. because i vented to my partner a few weeks ago and i understand that i was too intense in that moment, but she actually thinks i might hurt them? and now she just wants them to cut contacts with me... i know it's not my fault but i feel guilty regardless. it hurts. she sees me as a horrendous thing that might able to hurt anyone while i literally only hurt myself... i'm sorry that my bpd is so intense. i'm sorry for being so much work.

Just to let my followers and mutuals know, if ya’ll see me liking/reblogging posts that are like “[insert mental disorder] safe space” or something, it doesn’t mean I have the disorder. It doesn’t even mean I know anyone with the disorder. I just know that it’s wrong to hate on people for the sole reason of them having a mental disorder with a lot of unpleasant symptoms.

I have personally experienced depression-induced psychosis, with one terrible episode lasting for at least a few months, if not longer. Because of that, I deeply empathize with people who have conditions like schizophrenia that they can’t get treated. This includes “violent schizophrenics” who society hates.

I have a cousin whom I love dearly who has autism that causes them to have difficulties empathizing with other humans. This cousin has hurt me before and laughed when I cried. But I still love and support them, because not only are they trying their best to be the best person they can be, but because they and others like them deserve to be treated like fucking people. Despite how so many people treated my cousin like a demon when they were a child, they are a human with feelings.

And even if I didn’t have these experiences with these things, I should still know that people shouldn’t be demonized for their mental disorders. And if their disorder causes them to act in some ways that may be harmful, it doesn’t mean that they are irredeemable or unworthy of compassion.

So yeah, I may not personally know anyone with BPD. I may not personally know anyone with ASPD. I may not personally know anyone with NPD. But that doesn’t mean I can’t try to be a goddamn ally. It doesn’t mean I can’t help fight ableism. It doesn’t mean I can’t have some motherfucking compassion towards people who don’t have “pretty” mental disorders.

(I put ‘actually[insert disorder]’ in the tags so this reaches more people. Sorry if anyone finds that annoying/rude. I’ll delete those tags if anyone asks)

✨Information post✨

If anyone is looking for some good info on BPD that doesn't immediately show crap like "How to live with someone with BPD" or "Calm down! It's all in your head!!!" or "Get her! she's a mind witch!", I recommend Mind's website.

Mind is a mental health charity currently run by a lot of passionate volunteers, and the very amazing Stephen Fry.

Here's a link if anyone's interested

I hate when people say "It's not you, it's the depression" or "it's not you, it's the mental illness." Okay but it's in my brain which is ME. It sure as hell feels like it's me right now.

Someone with a cluster b disorder: *tries to educate people on OUR disorders*

Ableists: "No, I'd rather listen to this self-proclaimed "empath" who thinks they can spot a narcissist in the wild, read people's minds and has no real concept of what it means to have a cluster b disorder."

Btw for y'all using abusive people with cluster b disorders (especially npd & aspd) as an excuse to not support us as a whole: not having any proper support system for the disorder and the heavy stigma is literally why there are so many people with these disorders that aren't getting the help they need. It actively pushes more of us away from looking to get help when all we see about the disorder is that admitting we have it will make us loose so much support and be treated like monsters for the rest of our lives.

"Okay so I just support the ones who are getting help" no. You are still part of the problem. All of us deserve support for our disorders regardless, the idea that our support for our mental health is conditional is blatant ableism. You either support all of us on this level or your support isn't real. An individuals shitty actions will never justify being ableist about their disorder.

Not to mention when we aren't doing better, whether that is projected outwardly and hurting other people, inwardly, or both, that is when we need that support the most. It doesn't mean you are supporting us hurting people, no one is saying you should, including those of us with these disorders who do have a history of it causing harmful behavior. We are simply saying that we still deserve to have our disorder supported, us having access to basic things like mental health treatment supported, how our disorder affects us supported, not being treated differently for having the disorder by itself and for non harmful symptoms. If you loose that type of support for any of us because of those of us who are harmful to others, you are ableist.
