| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @CoralSeeSaw Thanks. I'll try to look at it soon. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @makkydoll Hi! Welcome. #BPDchat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw I’ve been watching a fantastic subtitled German series called Deutschland ‘83. About an East German who is asked to be a spy against the West to help save his mother who needs a kidney transplant. It’s totally gripping! #BPDChat | |
 | Debbie @simplyimagine1 @CarlDunnJr Hi everyone - Would it be okay if I just read (follow along) today? #BPDChat |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @CoralSeeSaw Wow! #BPDchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @simplyimagine1 Hi. Totally okay. #BPDchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @TracieJayne_ Sure! #BPDChat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @CarlDunnJr I have not done it justice, it isn’t that shallow! It’s fantastic & within a few minutes you don’t even notice the subtitles! Also (& I know I sound like a wimp, maybe it’s because of some of my symptoms I dunno) I like it as it’s not violent.. Not good with that! #BPDChat | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @MrsTeepot: |
 | Horticultural Lad @HerDearPhil @CarlDunnJr I haven’t watched a film recently, but have been obsessively watching Gilmore Girls. I’ve become way more emotionally invested than I intended to. 😅 #BPDchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @MrsTeepot Hi. Thanks for checking in. Take care of yourself. Hope you enjoy Netflix. #BPDChat |
 | Bernice 🌈 & Co. @vmagal1 Nothing recently LOL...it's all been mediocre. I rewatched Parks and Rec, that's always good for light hearted entertainment. Takes my mind off of anything serious and makes me have good out loud laughs. #BPDChat https://t.co/1w3tJZEV2d |

| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @janeymachine There are about 8 episodes available now! I’m just finished 3.. #BPDChat | |

| Horticultural Lad @HerDearPhil @CoralSeeSaw I started to watch that when it was on Channel 4 but I couldn’t take the tension! May need to revisit it, because I remember really enjoying it. #bpdchat |
 | Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter @CarlDunnJr Hey. I'd recommend any video by @RealMissAnxiety #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @CoralSeeSaw: @janeymachine There are about 8 episodes available now! I’m just finished 3.. #BPDChat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @janeymachine I’m a big Star Trek fan but haven watched Discovery at all. Any good? #BPDChat | |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @HerDearPhil Ha, yes it is very tense!! It doesn’t get less tense I’m afraid, but I’m hooked! #BPDChat | |
| Horticultural Lad @HerDearPhil @TracieJayne_ @CarlDunnJr Nope! This is my first time. Just about to finish season 3! #bpdchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @Meandmymhmatter: @CarlDunnJr Hey. I'd recommend any video by @RealMissAnxiety #BPDChat |
| Horticultural Lad @HerDearPhil @CoralSeeSaw I think I just need to wait for a time when my anxiety levels are low and seize the opportunity. 😂 I enjoyed what I saw, apart from the tension! #bpdchat |
 | Borderline OK @Borderline_OK In random order Dark Love Mars The State Southcliffe The Cloverfield Paradox Three Billboards... The Passing Unfriended and not forgetting... The Disaster Artist! #BPDChat https://t.co/bE9EkOE8ss |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @janeymachine I’m out then I’m afraid!! But don’t hold that against me! I’ll never forgive him for what he did to Star Trek The Wrath Of Khan (my all time favourite film!) 😂 #BPDChat | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @anelasticmind I just looked that up - it sounds interesting. #BPDChat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @HerDearPhil One to watch when the anxiety DOES subside, which it will! Hope that’s soon.. #BPDChat | |

| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @janeymachine Ah ok cool! I’ll check that out! Thank you! #BPDChat | |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @FieldingPolly @vmagal1 Yes I enjoyed that too #BPDChat | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @FieldingPolly: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @FieldingPolly: |
| Borderline OK @Borderline_OK @BorderlineClown Not at all, I'd actually suggest Paradox > Cloverfield > 10 Cloverfield Lane is a perfectly reasonable order. I think Paradox is the most accessible standalone film, but I won't say "best" because they are all starkly different #BPDChat |
| Debbie @simplyimagine1 @BorderlineClown I am reading two books - "Anger" and "Understanding Your Grief" #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @simplyimagine1 @BorderlineClown How are they? #BPDChat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw I’m hoping I’ll be out of hospital next weekend. I tell you what, I’ve actually missed watching childrens’ TV with my daughters!! 😬 😂 #BPDChat #guiltypleasure | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr I hope everyone got to mention your favorite. On to tonight's topic... #BPDchat |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Tonight's topic is... Emptiness: How does it feel for you? #BPDChat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw Carl, are there any books / references that you could recommend in terms of BPD ‘black & white thinking’? Really keen to start addressing that, it’s been a big problem for me, particularly lately.. No need to reply to this one now.. Thanks in advance if you can help #BPDChat | |
| BPD Chat @OfficialBPDChat Do you experience emptiness? What does it feel like? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Do you experience emptiness? What does it feel like? #BPDChat |
| Debbie @simplyimagine1 @CarlDunnJr @BorderlineClown Both are very good - The emotion of anger is one I am finding difficult to express, so my therapist gave me the book "Anger" The other book I am reading for a grief support group I attend - touchstones GRIEF IS HARD!!!!! #BPDChat |

| Alex @CoralSeeSaw I tend to experience it when my mood is shifting. I tend to get it with paranoia & anxiety, although apart from those feelings there isn’t much else.. 😔Just worries & paranoid worries.. #BPDChat | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @CoralSeeSaw I'm not sure. I think 'Mindfulness for BPD' has some info and exercises about that. I'm posting the link in just a second. #BPDchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr The book 'Mindfulness for BPD' by @blaisemd & @gillianpsyd has exercises to deal with emptiness. #BPDChat https://t.co/7ydR3cC6U6 |

| BPD Chat @OfficialBPDChat @FieldingPolly So, loneliness... #BPDchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @Silly_Sally_S That doesn't sound pleasurable? #BPDchat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw The difficulty I am having these days is seeing what is bipolar & what is BPD. I have been diagnosed with both, but the more I know myself I think I actually just have BPD.. The video I posted today (recorded impromptu this morning) made me think that more.. #bpdchat #confused | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @anelasticmind Wow. #BPDChat |

 | †OnTheBorder† @chrborderline @OfficialBPDChat Like nothing matters anymore. No hapiness. No hope. Black darkness filled with loneliness. Worst place of all. #bpdchat |

| Alex @CoralSeeSaw But anyway, yes, it’s mostly when I’m moving from high to depressed or vice verse. The ‘bit in between’ #bpdchat It’s the worst feeling of all.. | |
| BPD Chat @OfficialBPDChat RT @FieldingPolly: |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @CarlDunnJr Ok Carl, thanks. #bpdchat | |
| BPD Chat @OfficialBPDChat RT @ChrBorderline: @OfficialBPDChat Like nothing matters anymore. No hapiness. No hope. Black darkness filled with loneliness. Worst place of all. #bpdchat |
| Debbie @simplyimagine1 @CarlDunnJr Are we defining EMPTINESS as loneliness or of not feeling anything? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @ChrBorderline @OfficialBPDChat Hi. Thanks for sharing. That sounds like a bad place to be. #BPDChat |
 | Cathy Martineau @madyetmia1985 RT @CarlDunnJr: Before #BPDChat : Before #BPDChat : The book "Beyond Borderline" features stories of people in recovery from BPD. https://t.co/uDEgIqKegZ |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @KellKe11 I can relate to that.. Sorry to hear you also experience that too, it’s miserable.. So Carl is it common from your experience for emptiness to actually not be totally empty in that you do / can have paranoia & anxiety only? #bpdchat | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr I've heard it's hard for some people to even describe their sense of emptiness. #BPDchat |
 | X - 🏒🥅💙 💀sarahdox @_sarahdox @CarlDunnJr Emptiness is very hard to describe for me. It always feels like I'm "missing" something, knowing that I'll never know what it is. It's the depression and numbness that comes with the void. Constantly yearning for "something". #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @FieldingPolly @OfficialBPDChat Yes, I've heard people say they feel alone even in a group. #BPDchat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @KellKe11 Thats what I thought too.. Anyway, I suppose it doesn’t really matter what the labels are, I have plenty already 😂 #bpdchat | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @anelasticmind So...not feeling like a person... or different than that? #BPDchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @CoralSeeSaw: But anyway, yes, it’s mostly when I’m moving from high to depressed or vice verse. The ‘bit in between’ #bpdchat It’s the worst feeling of all.. |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @Kimmiebpolarart: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @simplyimagine1 Good question. It may feel different for different people. #BPDChat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @ChrBorderline @OfficialBPDChat How does it differ in that respect for you vs. depression? Is it similar in your experience? It’s a different kind of feeling for me (between the 2).. When I’m depressed I lose all energy too, when ‘empty’ I still have it.. #BPDChat | |
| Borderline OK @Borderline_OK Yeah, I pretty much feel scraped hollow I remember having lonely times, both in recent years and in teens, or when I first lived without parental supervision. But these days? It's more like a blank, dull, annoying hissing sound/feeling from my eyes to navel to thighs. #BPDChat https://t.co/83rqrTwIaQ |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr In one study, emptiness was associated with feelings of hopelessness, loneliness, and isolation. (It could be different for you). #BPDChat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @ChrBorderline @OfficialBPDChat @CarlDunnJr what are your thoughts on this? Does an ‘empty’ phase differ from a depressive episode from your experience? #bpdchat | |
 | lets talk mental health✨ @letstalkBPD RT @janeymachine: |
| Debbie @simplyimagine1 @anelasticmind @TracieJayne_ @CarlDunnJr pause - yes #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @CoralSeeSaw @KellKe11 I'm not sure. You might ask others here. #BPDchat |

 | Borderlineinwaterloo @bpdinwaterloo I don't ever feel like I'm "empty" inside. I am always full of emotions, most times intense ones. The empty feeling I had were just empty thoughts. Not until I changed my thought patterns did I start to feel any type of fulfillment within. #BPDChat #BPD #mentalhealth |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @janeymachine: |
| Debbie @simplyimagine1 I have been empty since Wednesday and the news of the suicide of my friend. No feeling; foggy, robotic in duty, hum, knowing what is going on around me without engagement. Can interact yet no connect. It's being alive yet not living. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @fatfashionfilms Hi. Thanks for sharing this. #BPDchat |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @EllenEvs_ Hi. I'm sorry to hear that. From what I understand, loneliness and hopelessness are often related to that feeling of emptiness. #BPDchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @janeymachine: #BPDChat For me, emptiness feels the way this looks: |
 | 🇲🇽 Ada @ada_lso All the Oscar nominees excellent choices #BPDChat https://t.co/9sSWKskvyQ |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @ChrBorderline @OfficialBPDChat Same again! #BPDChat | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @simplyimagine1 I'm so sorry for you're having to deal with this. #BPDchat |
| Debbie @simplyimagine1 This is why I am struggling in being a part of chat today - I am empty. #BPDChat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw So I guess the question I have is - is there anything that we can do to ‘get out’ of that horrible state? #BPDChat | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr According to one study, more than 70% of people with BPD experience emptiness. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr People with BPD often try to fill their emptiness with people and activities. Do you do that? Does it work? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Emptiness may feel like a void or a big hole, it can be related to a sense of hopelessness and purposelessness. #BPDChat |
 | Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher I remember just feeling more exhausted than anything when the wave of emptiness hit- or that feeling like it didn‘t matter what was imposed on me as to Limitation like I was staring into oblivion #BPDChat |
| Debbie @simplyimagine1 @CarlDunnJr thank you #BPDChat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @CarlDunnJr No, because I’m too paranoid & anxious.. Too difficult I have found (can force myself at other times / in other states Of mood). I find the empty phase is short lived compared to impulsive/high/feel good or depressed moods #BPDChat | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr TW Some research shows feelings of emptiness may precede a suicide attempt. (Related to hopelessness). You matter. Please remember to reach out if you find yourself in such distress. #BPDChat |
| 🇲🇽 Ada @ada_lso @CarlDunnJr Emptiness in my case feels in the chest and looks like boredom I feel like there's nothing interesting to do and it just feela like this big void in my chest #BPDChat |
| 🏴☠️G-Anne🏴☠️ @gacossey #BPDChat @CarlDunnJr Hi..or even emptiness = invalidation |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Some people experience emptiness as a lack of meaning and purpose. #BPDChat |
| Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher Sorry I am late - lost track of time #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Typical of someone experiencing profound emptiness: Nothing ever seems to fill the hole in my life. #BPDChat |
 | Hysterical Woman? @OhHystericalMe Emptiness for me is a feeling like I don't really exist. #BPDChat https://t.co/QZK4Myn159 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Do you feel alone even in a group of people. Is that part of what you would describe as emptiness? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @queenpuppies: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @queenpuppies @OfficialBPDChat Hi. #BPDChat |
| 🇲🇽 Ada @ada_lso @CarlDunnJr I try to fill it with activities and I learn a lot of things when I feel emptiness becaise I get busy but the problem is that activities just work for some time and then the void appears again and I need to do something new again, this cycle goes on and on. #BPDChat |
| 🇲🇽 Ada @ada_lso RT @CarlDunnJr: People with BPD often try to fill their emptiness with people and activities. Do you do that? Does it work? #BPDChat |

| X - 🏒🥅💙 💀sarahdox @_sarahdox @CarlDunnJr YES. My way of coping with the Emptiness is keeping myself busy or distracted. Jumping from hobby to hobby, errands, friends/family, chores, movies & T.V. shows. It doesn't cure it, but it helps keep me "full" to a certain extent. #BPDChat |
 | Eventide @eclectic_evntde RT @CarlDunnJr: TW Some research shows feelings of emptiness may precede a suicide attempt. (Related to hopelessness). You matter. Please remember to reach out if you find yourself in such distress. #BPDChat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw Carl, there are so many different flavours to this - it makes me wonder (sorry) how much this does link to BPD? Is it just part of us individually & not BPD at all? Feels there are too many variations.. Don’t want this to sound negative, it isn’t meant to be #BPDChat | |
| Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter @CarlDunnJr I feel alone in a group of people often but I wouldn't call it emptiness. My thoughts tend to still be flying around and i feel everything so acutely still. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @OhHystericalMe: Emptiness for me is a feeling like I don't really exist. #BPDChat https://t.co/QZK4Myn159 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @OhHystericalMe Hi. I'm guessing that's not a pleasurable feeling? #BPDchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @Onasilentsea I think that makes sense. #BPDchat |
| 🇲🇽 Ada @ada_lso @CarlDunnJr Yes I do feel like that, but for me is loneliness, emptiness feels more like a lack of purpos in life that lack of connection or understanding which is what I feel when Loneliness strikes #BPDChat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw My point being I guess, surely a disorder must have some symmetry of symptoms no? Or at least to some degree? Otherwise it isn’t a disorder it’s a personal experience of something? Or am I getting too deep now?! 😂 #BPDChat | |
| Borderlineinwaterloo @bpdinwaterloo My whole life I sought out anything and everything outside of myself to fill the void within. Job, car, money, sex, co-dependency & validation from others. But my void was too large and never fulfilled. The more I fill that void with self care, the smaller it becomes. #BPDChat |
| 🇲🇽 Ada @ada_lso Once I described it as beeing given the kiss of death by the Dementors in Harry Potter #BPDChat https://t.co/7BAd5Mda8f |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @Evefandango Oh, no. Darkness sounds VERY unpleasant. It makes a certain sense that you're looking for something to make you feel. #BPDchat |
| Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher @CarlDunnJr It was beyond a feeling of hopelessness or lonliess- you just did’t care about anything at all but to far beyond anything to be even suicidal. And sometimes this is caused by the very meds that are supposed to help you #BPDChat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @bpdinwaterloo Ah you’ve hit a good point here.. Spending / reckless behaviour to fill the void! Mind you, I don’t recognise that at the time.. But I do recognise empty days where I feel no feeling / senses other than worry & anxiety. I’m just confused about it all now! #BPDChat | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @CoralSeeSaw No, I'm glad you mention. I don't have the definitive answer. Supposely 70% of people with BPD experience emptiness. But are they all the same? I don't know the answer to that. #BPDchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr he book "Mindfulness for BPD" has a mindfulness exercise to watch your emptiness (when you're not upset). #BPDChat 1/2 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Once you learn to use this mindfulness exercise for emptiness you can use it when you are upset. #BPDChat 2/2 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @janeymachine: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr For emptiness, the book "Mindfulness for BPD" recommends connecting what others and noticing your connections. #BPDChat 1/2 |
| DD @displaydezign RT @FieldingPolly: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Be mindfulness of your connection to others. how many other people do you depend on? How many depend on you? #BPDChat 2/2 |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @CarlDunnJr questioning this all now in my head. Sorry, bear with me. How can a disorder exhibit such broad ranging symptom manifestation? Surely isn’t possible? Can’t compute! Perhaps though it is just the uniqueness of each of our brains? These are ramblings not questions btw!! #bpdchat | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr For dealing with emptiness, realizing your connection to nature and to animals may be helpful. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @janeymachine: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @FieldingPolly: |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @CarlDunnJr I suppose though, as BPD is often ‘set off’ by our own unique events / traumas, it could create a very unique set of outcomes.. This has all unexpectedly bent my head a bit!! I’ll stop now sorry! #BPDChat | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @bcrderlinee Hi! #BPDchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Self-compassion can be helpful when confronting emptiness. Be kind to yourself. #BPDChat |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Emptiness and self-hatred are not you, but they are a part of you. Be willing to acknowledge them and to give compassion to yourself. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr When you feel empty you might try self-soothing or distracting activities to get through the discomfort. #BPDChat |
| 🏴☠️G-Anne🏴☠️ @gacossey RT @CarlDunnJr: Suggestions to deal with emptiness (blog). #BPDChat https://t.co/VxOEydNuSz |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Do you think lack of a sense of identity has anything to do with emptiness (for you)? #BPDChat |
| Borderlineinwaterloo @bpdinwaterloo I don't think I'll ever fill the void entirely. I personally don't think anyone does. Mental illness or no mental illness. I believe it's human nature to reach out of ourselves to fill it. The key is to minimize the void as much as possible. Less void=less bad decisions. #BPDChat |

| 🇲🇽 Ada @ada_lso RT @CarlDunnJr: Suggestions to deal with emptiness (blog). #BPDChat https://t.co/VxOEydNuSz |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @janeymachine @CarlDunnJr I agree. But what I don’t get is how come most other disorders / all other disorders have similarities across sufferers? For example bipolar is pretty much always reasonably the same symptom wise (within bipolar 1 or 2). I am questioning in my head why BPD is different? #BPDChat | |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @TracieJayne_ @CarlDunnJr But we’ve all been diagnosed. We all have it. But we experience it very differently. I really want to stress that I am not being argumentative, I just can’t compute it! #BPDChat | |

| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @Luciek11K @CarlDunnJr That would be the only logical explanation I guess! #BPDChat This fascinates me now.. | |

| X - 🏒🥅💙 💀sarahdox @_sarahdox RT @CarlDunnJr: Emptiness and self-hatred are not you, but they are a part of you. Be willing to acknowledge them and to give compassion to yourself. #BPDChat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw Well, I’ve unexpectedly blown my own mind in #bpdchat tonight! I’m sorry that you all had to experience that! 😂 | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @fatfashionfilms I hear you. I think it makes sense how you could think this way. #BPDchat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @TracieJayne_ @CarlDunnJr No, no I meant me being argumentative! You weren’t at all! Now I am in BPD ‘apologise’ mode 😂It’s fascinating.. I need to think about this over the coming days 🤔 #BPDChat | |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @janeymachine @CarlDunnJr That would make sense.. But, then that must mean that there is a far bigger spectrum of disorders? I’m just mind blown how differently BPD manifests. Very differently.. 🤔 #bpdchat | |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @TracieJayne_ @CarlDunnJr It’s been good! I’ve really enjoyed tonight’s chat! Lots to ponder but some great insights from people. Thanks Carl & everyone else #bpdchat | |
| X - 🏒🥅💙 💀sarahdox @_sarahdox @CarlDunnJr I think not knowing who I am, what my purpose is or what I want to do with my life contributes to feeling like I have a void to fill, for sure. I think the Emptiness makes me question everything more. #BPDChat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @janeymachine @CarlDunnJr I suppose so? I dunno, I think I’ve confused myself now 😂 #bpdchat | |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @CoralSeeSaw @TracieJayne_ I'm glad you enjoyed that chat. Thanks for being here - hope you'll be back. #BPDchat |
| Alex @CoralSeeSaw @_inthedirtyrain @janeymachine @CarlDunnJr Yes, I guess that’s the only answer.. #bpdchat BPD is fascinating(ly difficult!) | |
 | Nix (They/Them) & Mew-Mew (She/Her) @NixAchlys I'm NOT looking for attention. I'm looking for someone to understand me what it's like to have #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @FieldingPolly: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @FieldingPolly Good night. #BPDchat |
