According to the National Institute of Mental Health, borderline personality disorder is an illness that is manifested by an ongoing pattern of mood swings, self-image, and behavior. These symptoms can result in impulsive or reckless behavior and relationship difficulty.
If you or a loved one are having suicidal thoughts, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 for support and assistance from a trained counselor or call 911 in situations of immediate danger. On average, 132 people in the U.S. commit suicide each day, making it the tenth leading cause of death for Americans. While there is no single cause of suicide, it often occurs when health issues and stressors meet to create feelings of hopelessness and despair. For individuals living with borderline personality disorder (BPD), the risk of suicide is even greater. One study found 75% of individuals living with BPD attempt suicide.

Yer seek help but wait a month till you get a call back and then wait another 7 months for actual help… theres not enough service for people with mental health
Fear of abandonment. Most known to have been abandoned. 3/4ths of all abuse goes unreported. Almost as if how you treat your child dictates their mental health.
Pills don't help trauma. They just numb it. And the sui hotline is nothing but abusers. We need an overhaul of society, not a neurotoxic placebo and a toll-free line that only makes the depressed feel worse.
I hate being around these people. They have no awareness.
If you are in a relationship with someone who isn’t getting help for it or are in denial.. RUN. It’s literally an emotional rollercoaster of HELL.
