Famous BP People

Why is it that I see so much written about BPD and celebrity? Is it that we seek acceptance and validation of our illness through these people, a number of whom may not be truly BP? The majority of us are not celebrated, after all isn’t that what a celebrity is. The majority of us are not clearly understood even to ourselves, we are feared, our illness is denied, and we struggle financially. If you search the net or you tube you will find BPD/celebrity will often outnumber BPD/suicide by 3:1, which is a much more disconcerting and common aspect of the illness.

On the other hand I admire anyone, amongst the beautiful people or not, who will come forward and expose their disorder. I cannot. I’m not beautiful. Perhaps wider education and possible understanding will help. I can hope.
