People with borderline personality disorder are like people with third-degree burns over 90% of their bodies. Lacking emotional skin, they feel agony at the slightest touch or movement.
- Dr. Marsha Linehan
i do not cry, my lungs just rupture.
i do not laugh, my throat just splits.
i am not afraid, i am a frantic hand,
pulling the panic button from its wire
