Danielle. 22, queer, Texan. Diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Trichotillomania. I juggle mad pride and psychopharmaceuticals; I don't believe the two to be mutually exclusive. Feel free to message me--if you'd rather talk in private mention that in your message and I won't post.
If you're in crisis and live in the U.S. please call: Suicide Hotline: 1-800-784-8433 or
TARA Hotline: (888) 4-TARA-APD, or get yourself to a hospital.
 Hey, I'd just like to say that I too got messaged by this Carolyn from the Huffington Post. She sent me a message to my Tumblr and I was like "Oh cool! Finally people are starting to wake up to BPD." Anyway, we set up a time to Skype, I waited online for an hour, she didn't message me. Sent her an e-mail, and just got a really dismissive response saying "Oh, I've decided to focus on girls from the US not from the UK." Not even an apology, do yourself a favour and don't bother to reply!!

 Hi! My name is Carolyn and I'm the associate editor of HuffPost Teen. I am writing a story on young women and borderline personality disorder, and I would love to interview you about your experiences if you're interested. Anonymity is an option. If you'd like more information, please email me at carolyn[.]gregoire[at]huffingtonpost[.]com. Thanks!

She sent me this message earlier in the summer. At first I thought, “what a great opportunity to spread awareness about bpd”! And then I read some of her other stuff and realized she seems pretty condemnatory of online (tumblr specifically) spaces like this one.

Bloggers beware!

Also, in case anyone cares, I’m sorry I’ve been so negligent about posting. Life started happening and I’ve been busy, but I think of all of you often.

"Do you know what people really want? Everyone, I mean. Everybody in the world is thinking: I wish there was just one other person I could really talk to, who could really understand me, who’d be kind to me. That’s what people really want, if they’re telling the truth."

And try not to be annoyed
By all these people worrying about me"

"Sometimes I wish I knew the nature of night thoughts. They’re close kin to dreams. Sometimes I can direct them, and other times they take their head and come rushing over me like strong, unmanageable horses."
