I used to hear comments similar to that when I was a teenager. They always made me feel worse. At the time I apparently had BPD because I was angry and suicidal (One would be angry too if they were severely bullied). I am certain Emergency Department staff were nasty to me because of that diagnosis. After hearing some nasty comments from helping professionals a few times, I decided to never ever visit the ER for psychiatric reasons. That was over fifteen years ago and I haven't been there since.
