I was diagnosed with BPD about a decade ago. It’s honestly a shitty thing and I wish I had a way to just exist without having to deal with it. I was a brat with no filter during high school and had lots of outbursts.  I’m managing now. I don’t take medicine for it because I find that if I take my anxiety meds, I can cope. My moods still switch at the drop of a dime, but I’ve learned techniques that help me even out. I’ve done and said some rough things in the past that I’m still apologizing for, but I’m a work in progress. I don’t use my BP as an excuse. I just apologize and make sure to never let it get that bad again.
