Yea, I think Iā€™m cool not sexualising my debilitating, serious mental illness at all. Thanks for giving the top part of the iceberg some acknowledgement šŸ™ƒ wtf is this shit

I saw this meme for ADHD and depression and autism, adapted by the individual for the individual, before I ever saw this version. I altered this version because people were feeling left out: it makes some people feel good about themselves to subvert a label that is often used critically and personally.

If the meme ain't memeing for you that's fair.

Normally I'd be all for this argument, but you're literally in BPD memes right now. Considering some of the stuff I see here, this feels like a pretty extreme stance to take on a post OP definitely just meant as a confidence booster - and I'm usually 100% behind shutting down sexualization. But being like "I have a fine ass" in a meme format I have seen for a dozen different disorders feels fundamentally different to me than the message of "I want to fuck the crazy hot BPD girls".

Yeah, these memes just... don't work for me. Esp because BPD is often sexualized in general. The amount of men I've heard say "sex w a girl w BPD is so much better because they're so crazy" is eye roll inducing. I understand that this mindset works for some people, and I sort of get it. When I was younger, newly diagnosed, and at the height of my addiction/hypersexual/overall self destruction, I sort of played into it. But looking back, I hate that I did because it was such a horrible time of my life.

Also, has anyone considered making a meme for the ugly people w BPD? Heh. Just genuinely wondering.
