telling someone who suffers from BPD that they just need to be more positive! you can choose to be happy! or that you need to stop being so overly sensitive and dramatic is unbelievably ignorant and insulting. while i appreciate people trying to be supportive or helpful, unless you are suffering from this disease, you cannot understand that this is NOT a choice. if it was, do you think i, or anyone else who suffers from this, would choose to be this way? to have absolutely no control over the stability of your life, resulting in losing friends, jobs, and even those youve truly loved that swore they would be there for you no matter what leave you because of it? not to mention experiencing almost paralyzing episodes of severe depression, panic, mania, disassociation, or worst of all not feeling anything at all several times in ONE DAY? yes, i am in a bad place right now, and it will eventually pass because thats how the cycling works. but mostly, im so sick of the ignorance of this disorder, not just for me, but for anyone who has to deal with it. i feel like ive lost the last 4 years of my life because of this, and even after being in several intensive treatment programs, therapy, and trying what seems like every medication known to man, it is something i still have to deal with, and will have to for the rest of my life. all i want to say is please just take sometime to become more educated and aware of this, and hopefully it will give you a different perspective.
