Borderline series
After almost a decade of being misdiagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) & Bipolar II, I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in 2021. This personal series is an exploration, a form of record and expression of the emotional instability that I go through on a daily basis.
BPD is characterized by an unstable sense of self, inability to regulate to emotions, unstable relationships, impulsive behaviour, self-harming behaviour, chronic feelings of emptiness and inappropriate intense anger amongst other symptoms.
With this new body of work I hope to raise awareness about this often misunderstood, life-threatening mental illness and document my journey in recovery.
