When I was diagnosed with bi polar 5 years ago I always asked if that meant I was crazy? I got no sufficient answer. Now that I have been diagnosed with BPD I was wondering if I was in the crazy category or not. I know that I am mentally ill, but does that mean I am crazy? People have always called me crazy or I have called me crazy, but an actual person who knows the answer has never given me one. I was just wondering? I still do not understand what BPD fully is and my new therapist does not want to label me with BPD, ands she asked me not to read the books on it. She just wants me to focus on my DBT books. So I have not read the BPD books. I am going to give her the benefit that she knows best. Until she proves not to I will listen to her....I just started with her last week, so I have not asked her the crazy question yet. She might give me a direct answer on whether BPD is considered crazy, but I think that she will not say that I am crazy, not yet anyway. Well I have babbled enough. Night to anyone who stumbles upon this.....Saidee
