I think it’s natural when you have a large support web of other people with BPD to experience grief with that and I accepted that knowing most of my friends and I share this diagnosis. The more I am involved in group supports and noticing patterns I see the statistics so clearly and they’re terrifying. The life expectancy for someone with BPD here is 30 years old and none of my friends have lived past that number. I am 20 and I have lost too many people that I’m starting to loose hope for myself. If there is anyone who would read this who has made it and is thriving and working with their disorder please reply if you can, it would mean the absolute world to me to see that it’s not hopeless, and I’m sure others as well.
34 and thriving, at least currently - 😅 I’m exceptionally lucky and hopeful. I feel insecure about my financial earnings but I’m working on it. My partner supports me and together we own a home with two cats. My boyfriend lives an hour away and I see him on the weekends. My friends are close by. My garden is starting to bloom all the spring flowers - this is my greatest year ever in my life and I’m so happy to see it. I still struggle with my disorder and wish I was not on this planet anymore, even with all this security and love. This is an exceptionally painful disorder. I’m finding the best ways to live with it and even feel grateful for BPD - I’m so intuitive and I feel my instinct brought me to this life worth living.
