The Love We Think We Deserve

About

We accept the love we think we deserve.- Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

The Love We Think We Deserve is a bold, thought-provoking show about people living with Borderline Personality Disorder, how they experience the world and the struggles they face. Around 1 in a 100 people live with BPD, yet it is one of the most stigmatized mental health conditions. Online searches will reinforce harmful stereotypes and the majority of articles advise you how to spot borderlines and avoid them.

With this play, I aim to give an insight into what living with BPD feels like and contribute to breaking down the stigma, bit by bit.
I am not the other. I am one of you. Speak about me as if I were in the room- because I am.
