I have been diagnosed with BPD for a while now and I notice when things are off. I have never in my life wanted to smoke cigarettes. I have people who have died of lung cancer and I don't get the appeal of it. I even have lung issues. For some reason, for the last few weeks I need a cigarette. Like I wanna purposely hurt myself by smoking. I don't know why this came out of no where. I even did a spurl of a moment and bought a vape pen with non nicotine vape stuff. That's gonna hurt me also, since I'm breathing in chemicals. I feel really confused. I have done risky behaviors before but I don't know if this is considered that.

      It’s a form of self destruction, one of the main symptoms of BPD is self harm or self destructive tendencies, and that’s a broad term that can include anything you’re doing to “purposely” hurt yourself.
