For those of you with a family member, friend or loved one who suffers from a mental illness or personality disorder of any kind: I strongly urge you to thoroughly research and educate yourself on whatever the person you love is going through. Dont just go off of their word and especially do no label them based on your own assumptions or whatever shorthand readings of any kind that may find in a quick google search. There are far too many stigmas floating around online under the guise of truth and they dont paint the whole picture. In order to truly be there for them you must genuinely understand the nature of what they are going through and only then can you be properly equipped to have the patience and compassion necessary to offer the support they so desperately need. Demystifying what your loved one is going through and dealing with by empowering yourself with the proper knowledge will strengthen your relationship and allow BOTH of you to heal. Many fail to realize that being on the receiving end of a loved one who suffers from such things can be just as damaging. Dont become a victim yourself simply by leaving yourself in the dark. Ignorance is not a suitable excuse. Protect yourself and your relationship through education, love and understanding.
