Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder is living in a body that is trying to fight while the mind wants to die. Borderline Personality Disorder is rushing from one relationship to the next just to fill the emptiness deep inside, but also struggling to maintain that relationship to the fullest. Borderline Personality Disorder is becoming impulsive and reckless, but it is also the main reason our life goes deeper in the hole. Borderline Personality Disorder is not being able to control your emotions no matter how hard you try, but it is also why people walk out of our lives. Borderline Personality Disorder is too much. You feel too much. You think too much. You cry too much. You get angry too much. Borderline Personality Disorder is thinking that everything is really bad or really great, but never picturing the gray areas. Borderline Personality Disorder is hating your loved ones the hardest, but also loving them with a passion. Borderline Personality Disorder is feeling everything

On Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors: A Confession

Trigger Warning: I don't use these much but in this case I will, because there can be actual, legitimate triggers for many people who experience body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as hair pulling or skin picking. If you are having trouble with your symptoms right now, or you know you are susceptible to an episode if the subject is discussed, please use caution. I will endeavor to avoid overuse of details not needed to get the point across but I can't make any promises. Finally, as always when I talk about medicine, I am NOT a medical professional. Do NOT take anything I say as treatment advice or scientific gospel. You should consult a qualified physician and/or therapist to come up with the right course of treatment for you. You would really think that in 2022, when it seems like just about every condition or disorder is getting public airtime and there is a huge push for acceptance, that I wouldn't have waited so many years to post this. I started this

Ophthalmophobe

You make me antsy What's wrong with me? What's makes me so interesting That you cannot stop staring At me Even when I look away I see your eye piercing Make me paranoid about what I look like Or what I'm wearing And you wonder why being a ghost is not a bad thing Or being visible That's why when I had to leave the house; I had to look presentable Do I look right? Is it okay what I'm wearing? You seem so interested that you can't stop staring. You make my paranoia speak; STOP STARING AT ME!!! Cuz your eyes are judging me so harshly I'm already feeling low from my esteem That you staring at me because I look interesting Or intimidating I don't like it at all Sometimes it's not bad to be invisible A nobody A ghost I just want to be a present in the air That you feel but can't stare I'm not a part of your life so why should you care? I'm just here today and then I'll disappear. But to you seems too interesting to stare At me In the corner of my eye, I see You staring at me The

Cure Bile Gastritis

As most of you don't know, I was diagnosed with this non life-threatening condition and it began my desire to cure it once I become a billionaire. However, if you sign this petition, we can make this dream happen sooner than anticipated. Bile Reflux Gastritis is a condition that forces you to eat smaller meals on a diet and not get takeaway or drink too much alcohol, raise the head of your bed and have dinner early. All of the above are my main reasons of wanting to cure this condition, so that no-one will have to suffer from it again. A friend of mine told me that CRISPR-Cas9, (a gene-editing tool that removes the genes that allows diseases to enter your body and kill you, virtually rendering them cured) may be a possible candidate to cure this underlying condition of bile because it will work on any condition or disease that controls your life. For everyone who was diagnosed with Bile Gastritis, they deserve a chance to eat fatty foods without moderation again. Everyone can live

Night Scream

I try not to scream too much, But the truth is I can’t help it. In sleep I am sent back to the places, My waking mind prefers not to go… And I remember – And the memories hurt me. It’s not a choice, It’s chaotic when it happens – Maybe my day has been fine, Maybe it’s not… Memory is like wine, Sometimes it’s fine – And sometimes it’s off. I don’t have a choice, No matter how hard I try… Sleep finds me, And in dreams memory hides. The truth of what I faced, Is still all in my head – No matter how far behind me it is, When I dream it’s where I tread. I scream with memory, When the pain touches my soul, It’s hard to forget, And bad dreams can be a dark hole. It’s not where I would choose to be, And in the waking world I make my stand… But my mind is its own master, And in dreams memories get the upper hand. It’s not every night, It’s not every day. I’m not weak… Yes memory strays. I’m working hard to put it behind, In the past where it belongs, Please forgive me my lapses, As I try to
