BPD episode
I’m so scared that my emotions have no meaning. When i say the words “I love You”, do i actually mean it? When I promise “I will always be there for you”, do I know how to keep it? Am I even real?

Because the truth is, my emotions are just like waves in the ocean, no stability, no clarity, just a beautiful view for couple of seconds till it’s gone.
