What people with BPD don’t want to hear-
-I wish people would stop telling me I just need to control my emotions
-That our lives are complete train wrecks and people should steer clear of having relationships with people with BPD
-I wish people would stop saying that people with BPD do it for attention or to be dramatic
-Stop focusing on educating around “surviving” people with BPD! I am not something to survive!
-I wish that BPD didn’t come with such a negative connotation
-I wish there wasn’t such a stigma that we’re all crazy and that we hurt and manipulate others in relationships
-We aren’t just being overdramatic or “brats”
-You don’t have to try to fix my mood. But make it clear you’re still there.
-That I’m too much trouble
-I wish people wouldn’t say that it dosen’t seem like I have BPD
-I wish people would be honest if they don’t understand BPD
-How some people can be compassionate towards people with anxiety or depression but not toward people with personality disorders
-I’m not a manipulative narcissist
-that we’re automatically toxic people because of a diagnosis
-please don’t say to someone with an official BPD diagnosis “I think I have that too” after they explain their disorder
-I hate when people call me crazy
