Yes, when I'm depressed a lot and that has been the case for me lately or specifically when my stress level is high. I was that way before, and I hate to keep bringing it up but 30 yrs living with a BPD will add to that hence my dx of PTSD. From everything I've read bp's are very sensitive any way. But when manic or hypo they could care less what anyone thinks. I also have paranoid personality disorder, do to being told I never did anything right for so long. You can ask yourself if you have ever been emtiionally abused and if so along with the bp it just make's it that much harder. I have what the pdoc's consider so many Co Morbid disorders sometimes I feel as if I don't have a chance at a life I used to have. I can certianally relate to what you posted.
