someone with BPD: "My eyes are all blind all of a sudden when it comes. In just a minute, I lost my sense. My logic is like being trapped. All the emotions feel so intense and mixed that I get suffocated. While screaming inside, I asked for help, but people called me overreacted. I went to a psychologist, and they told me I'm manipulative. They didn't know the storm that brings knives keep on making chaos inside me. The only way I found to get rid of the pain was just to create another pain. Self-harm is the answer, is what you called overreaction, yes.​​​​​​​"
