My Hinge profile is set to paused, which means its undiscoverable to potential new matches.
I have my reasons for taking a break from dating.
For example:
Im focusing on myself.
Processed with VSCO with p5 preset
I want to be the most confident version of myself before I put myself out there.
Im terrified about what a future partner may think when I reveal my diagnosis.
You see, BPD isone of the most stigmatized mental health disorders.
People with BPD are often painted as manipulative and explosive.
Not exactly desirable traits for a future relationship.
That said, these beliefs are misconceptions.
People with BPD are not intentionally trying to hurt or manipulate others.
to get to be diagnosed with BPD, you oughta exhibit five of the nine DSM-5 criteria.
The cause of BPD is not yet entirely known.
While BPD presents differently in everyone,navigating relationships is a common concern, especially romantic ones.
I want a relationship one day.
I deserve to love and be loved.
My BPD doesnt define my ability to do that.
While dating with BPD can be difficult, it is by no means impossible.
People with BPD are more than able to have loving, fulfilling relationships, romantic and otherwise.
