Lily seems to have it all-academic success, a vibrant social life, and a seemingly unbreakable smile. But beneath her polished exterior lies a tumultuous world of internal struggle. Living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Lily battles intense emotions, fears of abandonment, and a fragile self-image, all while maintaining a facade of perfection.

When her best friend, Emma, and her family fail to understand her increasingly erratic behavior, Lily's inner turmoil intensifies. She engages in self-destructive habits as she fights to keep her pain hidden from the world. In a moment of profound despair, Lily writes a raw, honest letter to herself, grappling with the idea of seeking help while clinging to her need to appear strong.

As Lily starts therapy and opens up to those around her, she begins to unravel the complexities of her condition and the impact it has on her relationships. "On the Edge" is a poignant exploration of mental health, the struggles of living with BPD, and the journey toward self-acceptance and healing.
