We did it! We reached our goal of gathering 5,000 signatures during BPD Awareness Month to let NIMH know that those in the trenches impacted by borderline personality disorder want more funding for research. Thank you for sharing your personal stories in the "comments" section of our petition. It has been incredibly moving to hear voices from across the U.S. and more than 25 countries who want more BPD research. Our deepest condolences go out to the many who shared losing loved ones to BPD. We do this advocacy work in their memory, to give hope to the millions of others still struggling to access treatment, support, and information about this disorder, as well as for those who are thriving and surviving. Hope is possible if we collectively speak out, and tell our stories to spread awareness and improve mental health care.
