Quotes:

"People with BPD are like people with third-degree burns over 90% of their bodies. Lacking emotional skin, they feel agony at the slightest touch or movement." - Marsha M. Linehan, creator of Dialectical Behavior Therapy

"What we experience as a 3 on the difficulty scale of 1-10, they likely experience as an 11. They might be smart and capable, which leads loved ones scratching their heads when something seemingly simple knocks them down." - Hilary Moses, LCSW

"A Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis can certainly make someone uneasy, but with the right treatment and compassionate understanding, it's treatable and does not need to be something to fear." - Stephanie Capecchi, LCSW
