Share your story with us

We are always looking to share stories of recovery and hope from Australians living with BPD and also from those who support them (family, friends, carers and kin). 

Your story can be incredibly impactful and supportive for other people who may be experiencing similar challenges living with (or supporting someone with) BPD. 

Share the ‘gems of wisdom’ you have learnt in your own journey. 

We aim to keep all our lived experience content strengths-based. That doesn’t mean it has to be all rainbows and unicorns (although – yay!) but it does mean that we try and see the positive changes that we have made from our struggles. 

Your story can be impactful for people still struggling with BPD and so we want to be hopeful and find the amazing things you have accomplished in your life! 

People living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) often find that their diagnosis is the first and only thing other people see. The 2022 BPD Awareness Week campaign encourages everyone to see the person alongside their BPD diagnosis, symptoms and survival actions. We’re all complete and unique individuals, each with our own strengths and challenges.

We invite you to share your story with us.

For carers, family, friends, supporters and clinicians this year's theme is a reminder that underneath negative or harmful coping behaviours a person can often be struggling. Let’s celebrate the person they are alongside their diagnosis, acknowledging their strengths, resilience and courage in order to SEE THE PERSON !

We invite you to share your experiences in supporting others who are often experiencing significant distress and whilst you may be experiencing your own distress at seeing someone you love/care about struggling.
