Born with ADHD, I finally accept me. Except abuse changed my brain effortlessly. Insomnia and rage creeps up out of nowhere, Fighting for help is hard, when no one cares. I used to be happy, have friends and be free, Now I know I’ve lost myself and no one can see. I have to fight…

I just find it super hilarious how on TikTok when I showed this crisis, everyone diagnosed with EUPD told me “you don’t have BPD”. No, YOU don’t have BPD. You have RSD…. and you’re neurodivergent. I was also born neurodivergent so I know the difference. EUPD is not BPD. EUPD is more common than BPD.…

Volcanic eruptions and violent storms Unhealed traumas in physical form An unstable mood which swings from high to low Where you relive traumatic events only you know. Heavy hail and frozen snow, From the next icicle of your next anger blow. Triggered by a reminder of what hurt your soul, Your brain reacts – your…

I’ve been to many BPD groups and whilst there, having ADHD myself, I could only see myself surrounded by neurodivergents with rejection sensitivity dysphoria.

Did you know INFJ’s are so rare that you have more chance of being hit by lightning than meeting one in real life. It’s because they’ve managed to overcome obstacles in childhood that would have destroyed and killed any other person. But they can break. And it takes a very long time to piece them…

I wrote this poem about what it feels like living with dissociative PTSD (BPD) from childhood that comes and goes. On top of my CPTSD. CPTSD was a label created for abused women with BPD and a history of prolonged trauma with PTSD attacks. Basically everything I experienced – unfortunately, NHS Highland refused me trauma…

If I knew what I know now, I’d have stayed single completely. As men have always been a trigger for my CPTSD, my body was slowly deteriorating until its ultimate collapse and now I’ve developed gynaecological issues as a result like extreme pain during sex, infertility, etc. If only I wasn’t raped or sexually abused…

It hurts to think back. I go into extreme panic and distress. I was working for NHS 111 and I had a relationship with a man who works there which was stupid, but he kept offering me lifts home and it started from there. Anyway, one day he switched. Suddenly. I already had relationship ptsd…

I’ve been destroyed completely. How does one forget their whole childhood and live life as a young adult carefree making decisions to help others, persistently focus on education and creativity, then an external trigger sends you flying back into the past where you remember things you couldn’t even remember before mixed with rapid cycling bipolar…
