Personal Narrative: Borderline Personality Disorder

1167 Words5 Pages

My girlfriend is bipolar The title says it all. My girlfriend is bipolar. She also suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder. If she knew I was writing this, She’d kill me, both literally and figuratively. The only reason I’m writing this is because she’ll never know. Today, a lot of mental health disorders are get thrown around like no big deal. People wear these diagnoses like they are a badge of honor and use them as an excuse for any sort of bad behavior.

Not because she didn’t love me anymore but because her life is a mess. She couldn’t cope with the emotions of her divorce, so she buried them deep inside. So she exploded and then imploded. She couldn’t be with me anymore because the emotions of being with someone new are keeping her from getting over something old.

    Introduction It is quite often that humanity has heard about the destructive behaviors of those with psychiatric disorders. The way these disorders impact specific individuals (and others they associate with) have begun to be expected. This is mostly due to the fact that the media portrays the most violent of acts associated with these disorders all the time on TV. However, a similar situation is presented when humankind discusses personality disorders—lesser known disorders that can inevitably do the same things that a psychiatric disorder can do, and it can be just as challenging to treat.
