I'm totally on your side here. You need support and you've come to the right place because everyone here understands what it's like to have BPD.

Sorry to have to say but either your relatives are in denial, or else they are extremely uneducated on this condition or their "religion" has brainwashed them into saying things they are saying.

Listen carefully.

You've done nothing wrong!

Can I state how DARE they go snooping around on your computer, what an invasion of privacy, and I feel quite strongly about them snooping around your profile.

Based on what you've written, they're unlikely to change their views or their ways. So what to do next. Well clearly you're not going to be able to rely on support from them. Apart from psych central, because we all believe you, is there anyone else that can provide you with strategies if your relatives try to engage in the same kind of conversation again, like a psychologist or a therapist?

Personally when people speak nonsense in my ears I have a great way of tuning out their voice so I can't hear their voice but I can still look at them and smile (and think slyly you have nooooo idea what you're talking about) as opposed to having to entertain a conversation about this.

Sorry for your lack of support. Anyone would feel rightly down in your situation.

Thanks, this whole day's been triggering for me and I've been stressed out on how to take care of the whole situation.

I've been to a therapist before, but my family wasn't happy about it and when they found out I was having major depression issues, my mother completely shunned me away with the whole problem. She turned her back on me, as to say, and refuses to help me with my complications. She's gone as far as to blame me for my own mental illnesses.

After so many months, my family stopped supporting me to going in for a therapist check up and even threatened me to stop all together. Now she promises me that we could all go again, just to fill me with hope that we all can work out the problems with our dysfunctional family, but it's only something she lies about so we can stop with the 'games'.

My family always persists on thinking everyone except themselves are the blame, just so they don't seem like the topic or center of attention when it comes to conversation.
