The splash or chaotic colours in the painting actually represent the chaos going on in a Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) patient’s brain. The intensity in the eyes and the teardrops show the pain. The body posture basically shows how a person with BPD at times tries to hide the dreadful emotions he/she is going through. The rose signifies the dreams withering away as the mental health worsens. With BPD, my experience was that some doctors refused to take me as their patient. I feel it is because of the concept that no matter how much hard work the doctors put into such a patient, the patient always collapses and goes back to point zero, and even if a doctor does take a BPD patient they don’t get well till it’s too late. So all those dreams that a normal person has, like to achieve something in life, have a set of goals, to be a better person, etc., all these almost seem impossible to achieve because the roller coaster of emotions don’t let us focus on anything healthy. There is so much going on in our heads in the sense of our emotions that it gets hard to try achieving something constructive in life. The writing on the body of the girl in this painting are some of the thoughts that go through the mind of a BPD person on a daily basis.
