BPD is mostly known by its symptoms: fear of abandonment and being alone, an unstable self-image, massive mood swings, and radical impulsivity, just for starters. There's also the tendency toward self-destructive behaviors, self-harm, and explosive behaviors. This makes personal and intimate relationships very hard to maintain when that seems to be the one thing that people with BPD crave the most.
Here is a beautiful secret about BPD, though: they are not people who were born bad, they just experienced severe trauma at a young age.
BPD is a well-studied result of childhood traumas, especially from complex and ongoing neglect and abuse. The sense of being pulled in so many directions, of trying to find a sense of being between the self-loathing and the desperate yearning, stems from being forced into a perpetual cycle of bargaining for mental and emotional safety.

IMPORTANT NOTE Regarding the design of our mental health-related Plushie Dreadfuls. We take the topics of mental health and mental health awareness seriously. That's why our design team only creates plushies related to mental health issues with which they have direct experience. In cases where our team does not have direct experience, we assemble an external team of experts to help guide our creative process. In addition, we use Crowd Design to engage a wide range of voices via platforms like Instagram and Facebook. We gather and respond to feedback from our audience - many of whom have direct experience with the mental health issues we're exploring. And while we strive to represent as many aspects of a particular mental health issue as possible while avoiding stereotypical symptoms, we hope you understand that plush toys as an artistic medium do limit the full expression of a particular issue to those things that can be crafted in fabric and stitching.

Beware of imitations and copycats
Borderline Personality Disorder is a really difficult condition to deal with. She can’t even find a therapist. This disorder doesn’t get a lot of representation, so when I saw this bun, I immediately grabbed it for her. It’s not a therapist, but she says it does help her. And the coloring matches her girly pink goth style.
Great love the softness
the quality is beautiful and so soft. 100000/10 id buy it again just to support american mcGee
Per usual I am so happy with my purchases. I got the email about the sale bc of the tariff situation and figured now was as good a time as any to get my kids the bunnies they have been asking for since I got my first two. I also ordered my mom one for mothers day bc once she saw my pink anxiety bunny she wanted one too. I got my 12 year old the sleep paralysis one and he loves it and the bag it came with is awesome. My 4 year old wanted a pack of the mini's and I was surprised they also came with a little storage bag which was adorable and perfect size for him. I got my sis the BPD bunny she loves it and the bag for that one is super cool too. For myself I got a t-shirt, the ADHD lanyards, and the new bone organ-izer bun and I am so in love with her and the bag she came with. The little organs are so cute. I got stickers for my bonus gift last purchase this time they sent pens which are so nice! Already planning next purchases I have never loved a small business this much!!!!
I bought her on a whim, because I wanted my Dysphoria rabbit to have a sister and I was recently diagnosed. As usual, top quality and craftsmanship. She is SO soft!
She's been sleeping with me every next day (Dysphoria rabbit gets the other nights) and she's proven to be an excellent sleeping buddy, just like her sister :3
