No-one with BPD has never thought it would simply be easier just to end it all for our own sake and to save others from having to cope with us!
“Among all of the mental illnesses, research has shown people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) have not only the highest number of suicide attempts, but also the highest rates of completion. Some studies have the numbers as high as 70% of people with BPD will attempt suicide at least once in their lifetime, while many will have multiple attempts and the death rates are estimated as high as 10%. BPD is primarily characterized by unstable emotions, impulsive behavior, unstable sense of self, intense but unstable relationships, repeated sudden and rapid mood swings, self-harm and frequent suicidal thoughts and actions.”
Why do we do it? Why do we feel the need to hurt ourselves? I wish I had a definitive answer. I have inflicted such harm upon myself but, still, I cannot tell you why.
It helps, all I know!
Why?
I do not know!
