borderline personality disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder

So this is what its like to have borderline
you struggle to understand your own mind
You say something and others interpret your words in a different way
what did you say
you are continually trying to understand
why you do the things you do
why did I buy this and couldnt let go of this
why are your friendships falling apart
why cant you leave that friend alone
give her space
instead you smother her. thinking that is friendship
when really you are scary to your friend
and she walks away.
You struggle to keep relationships
Your emotions are up and down and all the over the place
you feel like you are on a rollercoaster
a terrifying ride that never ends
You cry and you scream and you rant
but the pain you feel and the emptiness
remains inside you.
Nobody gets how you are feeling
mental health and professionals seise to realise whats going on
they do not know how to handle
they do not know what medication to give
what will make all your symptoms disappear
and give you a chance at a normal existence.
they talk of therapy
but thats so easy for them to say
not that easy for a borderline to do.
As you hate them in your space
you dont want to bring up the past due to the pain you feel
who wants to sit there and feel worse rather than better.
Alot of the time you give up and give professionals the flick
but then you end up in the hole
and the mire
you end up sinking.
making choices that drag you under
make you go backwards rather than forwards and
up towards having a better life.
So what is the answer for borderlines then.
I do not know every day is a continual struggle to stay alive
cos you dont want to be for you as the struggle just doesnt seem to be worth it
you forget sometimes about the ones around you
and do your own thing.
You feel so disconnected
the pain is so great.
nobody can understand your battle
except your brothers and sisters aligned in the same battle
