Hey guys. I was diagnosed with BPD(Borderline Personality Disorder) in 7th grade. I am now 18 and I have found myself rewatching the show.
While watching with my boyfriend I have found myself crying various times or just feeling bad for Bojack. When he asked how I could sympathize with him I told him I just get it.
Now I would like to say I am no where NEAR as bad as Bojack but I found certain things he did relatable. I.e the reckless sex, manipulation on Diane, using PC and hating Mr.Peanut Butter cause he is happy. Now I have grown a lot through years of therapy but I never realized how much I acted like him before that.
Like that one seen at the end of season one where Bojack speaks at the ghost writers meeting begging Diane to say he was a good person. I had to turn off my tv because I’ve done that to multiple people. Or when he went on that bender with Sarah even though she clearly is troubled. I did that with an old friend my freshman year and we drove drunk and high and snuck out a lot. I could have gotten her killed but I didn’t care cause I wanted drugs.
I don’t know why I am writing this or what I am expecting but I just realized how GOOD this show is and yet so fucked up.
bro in the last months especially two weeks i’ve BEEN bojack (no, i‘m not proud of it and yes i am seeking help now) due to a bad break up causing me to spiral and trigger all the bpd i have in me
