I resent the use of the word borderline like that. I have BPD and I hate how people use the term as though people with the condition are just manipulative attention seekers. I can also understand how you feel about being refered to like that.
How often do you see your psychiatrist? If I was you the next time you see him, tell him exactly how you feel about his response.
**huge hugs**
Just remember you were only doing what he said that you should, so you have done nothing wrong!  |
EXACTLY!!!! I know it wasn't his intention but it almost felt like a "set up" if that makes sense because he knows that a fear of mine is to lean on someone and also to be perceived as manipulative- and the worst came true. BPD has a very bad rep but what people fail to see is that even if someone is manipualtive or seeking attention- it's coming from a place of pain or desperation, it isn't that someone would want to be that way. at least that's what i think. Hugs back
