RethinkBPD is producing a documentary, website and social movement to fulfill the need for an honest and in-depth conversation about Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Using the different avenues in journalism and social media, RethinkBPD establishes new ways to diminish stigma, advance research, and promote the most effective treatments for BPD.
Really great trailer. I like the personal approach, and dual storyline (fighter/MHS Consumer). Very nicely produced! Great shooting and editing!
This is a great project and I can't wait to see it grow. It takes a lot of courage to share the most complex and sensitive parts of ourselves and I applaud you for your effort. Best of...

Hey Amanda,
Your amazing!! This is inspiring and all of your work is such an asset to the whole mental helath community. Let's help stop the stigma and educate those around us.
Thanks Amanda!
Woo-hoo! Am logging on constantly to see the numbers going up! So excited for you... and for us! :):)
Amanda you're remarkable! Keep up the fight! You have our 110% support.
I'm standing on your shoulders, all the very very best to you!!
Amazing project. You are so modest, generous and courageous. Best wishes with everything now and always.
Helen, thank you. You and your daughter, Heather, are the reason why I have to keep on fighting, keep on pushing forward. I am committed to sharing her story and bearing witness to the struggle people with BPD have with suicide. It is no easy task, but with help and support like yours and many others who have backed this project, I know we can create lasting impact. All my best, Amanda.
Thanks Amanda S! I'm so glad to have your support! We're going to get there!
Hi Deborah! Thank you for your note. Although it's not an easy journey, the burden is less when we share it. Thank you for being there for your partner in good times and bad. As you mentioned in your blog, i have often wondered where my life is but since my diagnosis I have found a little path from which I can start my adventure. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey and thank you for spreading the word!
Amanda, your are remarkable! Your "fight" will change the way BPD is precieved by the world. No matter what happens in the ring, you are the champion. I am so glad I met you in DC. I am hoping that the project will be funded and am telling everyone! In honor of my daughter, Heather, and for the future successes of those with BPD as a result of your "fight". Go for it!

Amanda, I hope you are able to raise all the money you need for this amazing project. My partner of 6 years is trying to recovery and heal from BPD. It's not an easy journey, nor one for those faint of heart. Keep us posted on your project as well as your Golden Glove pursuit! If there's anything we can do to "street team" for you please let us know. In the meantime, I'm spreading the word about your project! Peace
Hi Julie, Thanks so much for your support! I'm so glad to be a part of this amazing journey, fighting against stigma and helping create a voice for those living with Borderline Personality Disorder. Oh and yes, your voice is a part of that! Thank you all you do. All my best - Amanda
