Why I Started HealingwithBPD

I never set out to start a blog, but here I am. The truth is, I needed to create a space where I could talk about BPD and trauma—because for a long time, it felt like no one really understood. Living with BPD is a lot. It’s a constant emotional rollercoaster, and it’s often tied to trauma. For me, my past experiences have shaped how I respond to the world, how I feel about myself, and how I connect with others. Sometimes, it’s overwhelming, and other times, it’s just… exhausting.

But I realized something over time—healing doesn’t mean pretending the trauma never happened. It means figuring out how to live with it, how to understand it, and how to let it be a part of my story without letting it control me. BPD and trauma are connected, but they don’t define who I am. They’re pieces of me, yes, but not the whole picture.

Starting this blog came from wanting to share that experience with others. I wanted a place where I could be real about the tough days, but also where I could share the small wins, the lessons learned, and the moments of lightness. I’m not here to tell anyone that it’s easy or that healing happens quickly. But I am here to say that you don’t have to walk through this alone.

This blog is for anyone who feels like their emotions are too much or too big, for anyone who feels like trauma has shaped them in ways they don’t fully understand. It’s for those of us who have struggled to find a balance between pain and healing, and who need a reminder that both are part of the journey.

I want this space to be real. It’s about sharing our stories, connecting with others, and reminding ourselves that no matter how dark things feel sometimes, there’s always room for light. So, this is my way of saying: You’re not alone. You’re seen. You’re heard. And together, we can heal.
