"Hey."
"Hello."
"How are you?"
"I...feel empty, I guess?"
"Why?"
                              Ha, that's a difficult question... I used to feel a lot of things. I used to laugh. I had hobbies. I was writing stories. I had dreams. I liked history. I had someone I truly loved. I cared about appearance. I wore nice clothes. I made money to be with the person I loved. And now? Over the course of the last 30 months everything vanished.  I'm not even interested in these things anymore. Ask me what my interests are then, but I have none. The person I loved turned out to be the one who hurts me the most and who manipulates me. My mom did so many awful things and I just feel so numb and depressed that my relationship with her has been ruined like that, even though I did my best and put all reasonable and unreasonable efforts into it.
                              Then, my university. I don't know what I am doing there. It's not something I would like to do, or maybe I am too sick to enjoy anything anymore? I have motivation only to have them perish in a few hours or days... And then weeks of being suicidal over the course and feeling too tired to provide myself with basic care. It's not bad; people are nice and I like the fact that I don't have to attend it every day, but... I don't want to be a mediocre student and then a mediocre employee...
                              I feel so sick and tired, so unhappy and depressed about it all. I'm a shell and I have to pretend that I actually feel things so that everyone feels comfortable around me. The truth is that every day I want to jump out of the window and become a human pancake.
                              I don't know what to do. It's been like that for about two months. I'm so lonely in this.

The things I think of when I'm alone
PoetryUnbearable pain that is expressed and acknowledged becomes bearable. But people who have suffered from BPD received no such responses in their childhood. Therefore, they are stuck in the past, trying to elicit what they needed as a child-validation...
