The ol' "pull myself up by my bootstraps"-fix? Gee. Why didn't I think of that?
I dunno if you actually read my post, but I don't care about labels, I care about getting the right meds and treatment for whatever I have, be it BPD or something else. And that requires, um, PROPER LABELING OF MY CONDITIONS.
I want to be taken seriously and listened to, even if not agreed with, not fobbed off with glib statements about dropping labels I don't care about and telling me my big problem is "feeling bad" about myself when I have actual, diagnosed illnesses that play hobble-de-hoy with my brain and emotions. At least my NP dismisses what I say because I've been remiss in letting her know how things stand with me. On that, I suppose I have no one to blame but myself. But you . . . you're rudely--cruelly--dismissing a flat-out, wrenchingly and painfully honest cry for help. "Stop finding reasons to feel bad about myself"? Seriously? I never expected such a callous, ill thought-out response on THIS SITE of all places. I don't know if you're purposely being cruel or you're just spectacularly thoughtless at the moment, but please never say those things to anyone again, unless you're just looking for ways to make someone who's already in pain cry.
And the awful thing is, you're likely going to dismiss everything I've just said and my original post because you'll likely think I'm just feeling sorry for myself and wallowing in something that can be solved by stopping "feeling sorry" for myself and "committing to" healing.
Because, you know, that's what us mentally ill-types like to do. Feel sorry for ourselves and not-heal. A real epidemic, that.
What horrible things to say to someone who laid themselves bare looking for real empathy and understanding and help. Who could barely see to type for weeping. Why are you even here if that's the extent of your sympathy, empathy, and compassion?
