Thanks you guys for responding. I'm so glad in not alone. I actually live in milwaukie Oregon. I find that oregonians are more polite but I'm not feeling that way anymore. taking things personally is a common trait of bpd. At least for me. I wish I could be more care free and not care but I do. I talked with a coworker yesterday whom I trust. I told Her I struggle with mental illness but I didn't expose exactly what I have. Her point of view is that Everyone has some sort of chemical imbalance. I disagreed with her. It's easy for someone to say that who doesn't struggle with a real diagnosed illness. I have bpd and bipolar 2 depression, anxiety and ptsd. These are very real to me. Once again I took it personally that she would say that. She didn't mean to be disrespectful as she is a very sweet gal. It's just ignorance of people who don't truely struggle with it. Anyone else have dual diagnosis?
