one of my favourite professors #SamVaknin confirming some of my own conclusions about #ClusterBpds & #NPD in particular in relation to what's happening globally with so called 'leaders', and our collective death march on the #NarcissisticRoundabout
#GifsArtidote: i would like to add that my hypothesis is that #capitalism as a system is driving the cluster-b pandemic currently moving humanity rapidly towards collapse
My body is a hotel for disorders
My photograph at "The Art of the Brain." The group exhibition at Mount Sinai's Friedman Brain Institute in New York City was presented to raise awareness of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). https://xiomaro.com/event/brain/
I’m Nick: an atypical millennial male known for random fact dropping and nonsensical banter. My diagnostics read like a very honest grocery list: #Anxiety, #Depression, #ADHD, #PTSD, #BPD (that’s borderline personality disorder). I come fully equipped with a worldview you won’t find on any shelf
When I’m not out embracing the #absurd, chasing wild animals for life lessons and the like, I’m #writing about everything, specializing in:
- #Mentalhealth and the daily struggles of life
- #America, specifically the Tar Heel State, as seen from a UFO: non-political (though I wouldn’t turn down an alien vantage point... and yes, I grew up on honeysuckle and firefly night-lights).
- #Movies & #music: specializing in the ones that make you #laugh through tears and #empower you on your darkest days. And yes, I do like #musicals (not sorry).
- #Philosophy, including #Academia of all kinds: I want to know it all (and then forget half of it at the most inconvenient times).

"I often feel that everything is misaligned. There are days when I cannot tell if the dissonance comes from within or from the world around me. When my emotions and thoughts seem to clash, I begin to question every feeling and idea I hold. I face a conflict between my borderline personality disorder that distorts my emotional lens and my ADHD and PTSD that can render my thought process unreliable at times. My inner world becomes a place of complexity and contradiction."

"The Art of the Brain" exhibition opened yesterday with a painting by my daughter. She died in 2016 after years of struggling with borderline personality disorder (BPD). A doctor was moved to leave a message. https://xiomaro.com/event/brain/
In 2016, my daughter, Jessica, died from an accidental drug overdose after years of struggling with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Her painting, “My Iron Lung” (2015), and my National Park photograph, “Dead Blue Jay (2016), will be jointly exhibited. Both works were specially requested by Cameron Le Roux, the exhibition’s coordinator at Mount Sinai. Details: https://xiomaro.com/event/brain/
Goal already met and exceeded. Rent is paid with a few groceries as well. Thank you!!
Hi, I’m Andrea 
I write from the intersection of memory, reading, neurodivergence, and what often feels like emotional overflow. I’m interested in the crossroads between migration, feminism, and mental health.
I come from other platforms hoping to find a gentler space here—to share books, ideas in progress, and reflections on living with BPD and OCD.
If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to connect 
Older people love to give unsolicited medical advice that's been obsolete for 30+ years. No, Maude, I'm not getting a lobotomy.
ME: I'm sorry that I disappeared there for a few months.
FRIEND: It's okay. How've you been?
ME: *already disappeared again*
EDITED: Yet another #MutualAidRequest and status update ($500/$750)
"Of all the personality disorders, the Borderline Personality Disorder is of most concern for clinicians. Specifically, many clinicians believe that this disorder is untreatable, and this belief persists despite research evidence to the contrary. In fact, more research has been published on this disorder than any other personality disorder, and increasingly it indicates that this disorder is quite treatable. For example, Zanarini and colleagues (Zanarini, Frankenburg, Reich, & Fitzmaurice, 2010) followed nearly 300 individuals prospectively over a ten-year period. They found that one half these individuals achieved total recovery. That meant that they no longer met diagnostic criteria for this disorder and also attained reasonable social and occupational functioning. The good news of this important prospective study is that for individuals with this disorder, treatment can be quite successful."
