On Saturday 26th February, a few of us will be walking round Carsington Resevoir in onesies. Yes, I will feel stupid. Yes, I will be cold. Yes, I quite possibly will regret this as soon as I arrive. But it's worth it!
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a cause close to my heart. My partner was diagnosed in 2009, and since then has been an inpatient of psychiatric wards for a total time of over a year. The illness impacts every aspect of a sufferer's life, as well as the lives of those people who are close to them.
Borderline Arts - the charity raising awareness of BPD via workshops and art exhibitions, amongst other things - is now back up and running, but to carry on with these things they need funds!
They are the ONLY charity in the UK run specifically for BPD, so it is really important to keep that going. The work that Borderline Arts does helps to educate about, raise awareness of, and as a result help break down the stigma surrounding BPD.
If you are able to donate, even a small amount, it really WILL make a difference in helping them to continue to enable people - healthcare professionals, the public, family, friends - to understand and treat BPD.
The people around who understand the illness play a vital role in keeping my partner's mental health stable, and this makes a massive difference to not only her life but everyone in it, as well as the lives of many of my friends who also suffer.
We will be eternally grateful for your help and support.
