As you may know, the month of May is BPD Awareness Month. We’re going to suggest a different theme for each day to support #borderlinebrilliance. While awareness is important for people who don’t know much about BPD, it’s just as important to remind others (and ourselves) that we are wonderful people deserving of love and admiration. I don’t want this month to be just about, “This is BPD, and this is what it means.” I want to celebrate being borderline.
Originally, we were talking about the idea of a selfie day, but now I’m thinking, why stop there? Let’s do something every Saturday of the month of May. We have the entire month, after all.
- May 2nd – Post a selfie (or two or three or more!)
- May 9th – Post a current project (art, sewing, writing, maybe something at work or school, a paper you’re writing, anything!)
- May 16th – Post a photo of you wearing black and white, or a black and white photo, or take a photo of something black and white to represent the “black and white” moods of BPD.
- May 23rd – Post a fictional character you relate to and explain why.
- May 30th – Post some positive things about having BPD, what you’ve gained and how it’s made you a better person.
Tag your posts as #borderlinebrilliance so we can keep up with each other!
