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.

I’ve been periodically checking on this bunny for so long, I’m starting to get frustrated. I just really don’t understand why it’s taking so long. I need it in my life like yesterday.
It feels so nice to be represented somewhere in a not bad way, everything else I see is like “how to deal with your burden of a partner who has BPD” and I never see anyone do anything good for us, thank you I can’t wait
It’s not out yet but I’m so excited! I have anxiety bunny and she helps me out so much with her worry bunnies! I’m so excited to grab BpD buns and all of them!
It actually makes me want to cry a little bit as our disorder is being seen and normalized if that makes sense in a way?
I read something on facebook which i don’t even use lol about that this would come out in 1-2 weeks and its been 2 weeks and 1 day since then so im really hoping it will come out in a few days i cant wait i to order it IMMEDIATELY when it COMES out!
As someone with BPD- I desperately need this as a(nother) way to try & fill the endless emptiness i feel 24/7. Plz i’m so excited & eager for this to come out Q^Q
