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.

On The Edge
On The Edge is an original script that I decided to write as part of my personal project for school. This play falls under the category of play of ideas. If you don't know what that means, it means that this play highlights social issues of today. In order to write this play, I had to research suicide, depression, social anxiety, bullying, and bipolar disorder and embed what I learned into characters. I researched using the internet as well as interviewing people that I know who deal with some of these issues. By writing this, I wanted to educate myself as well as spread awareness about these issues. I hope that if you are someone who deals with these issues that this play can help you know that you are not alone and help show that you have options to get help. I hope that if you are someone who knows another dealing with these issues that this play can help you better understand how you can be there for them and help them. This script is technically finished, but i will continue to edit it to make it better. I will edit based on the critiques i receive on here and well personal goals on how I want to change it. Thank you all for reading On The Edge, I hope you enjoy it.Complete
MEMOIR OF THE SPLINTERED
"Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious mental illness that centers on the inability to manage emotions effectively. While some persons with BPD are high functioning in certain settings, their private lives may be in turmoil." ~~~ They say the term "borderline" came from a time when doctors used to believe the illness bordered between psychosis and neurosis. Now, they believe the illness should be called Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder. The illness doesn't need a clear name for me to understand what it is. Because it's the nightmare I'm living every day. ~~~ [ a short story about BPD written by a human with BPD ]Complete
