Love is the Cure: the new faces of BPD

No Gravatar

Hello everyone,

Recently I was asked to do a PSA for “Love is the Cure” which is an organization dedicated to giving Borderline Personality Disorder a more positive name. I think that BPD has been stigmatized and that there is a lot of misinformation out there. Many people with BPD have been through repetitive trauma and I feel that it’s harmful to tell us we can’t be cured. I feel that anything is possible.

Here is the original PSA:

Here is my version:

All feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Rachel Haywire

    I REALLY love it. Reminds me that the world isnt completley dead and filled with drones. People hating each other for ridiculous reasons. Its difficult for me to even say or explain…the way you, and others alike go through situations is quite the same as I do. The whole perspective going on(along with others like Emilie Autumn, otep, so on) and putting situations that change or form who you are, and take control of it, and form *it* to your desire. Finding the others points of views. Both feeding off each other. But you turn it into something that is almost beautful: Music and a story. I love you as a person, a friend, and not just as a device that transmits music for “my” pleasure. I could go on for hours, but Im dont want to over do it. Im no good at explaining, but I hope I made any sense. lol

    A little thing I realized was both videos blending together showing that the drapery on your body and style doesnt matter, its the creature going through the stereotype.
