But somehow my words come across to the other person as too serious, too intense, and as some kind of attack.
In my mind, I'm showing support for our common problem, but somehow it is communicated /received in the wrong way.
I've talked about this in therapy; my therapist believes it's an aspect of my tendency toward mania. I do think that's it, at least in part. But one of my sisters has the same problem and she doesn't have BD. To me even, my sister gives me the impression of being so involved she's smothering. But I know her intention is from her heart, so I take it where it's coming from.
*sigh* Just so tired of the same repetitive theme.
Thanks bpc
