NOTE:
This is likely due to OPT-IN policy on this platform. And if you ever see my name or icon on this. It is not true and complete bullshit.

The popularization of therapy speak has done enormous collective social damage. Yes, the meltdowns of people with BPD are manipulative, in the same way that it's manipulative to scream for help when you're in danger, or for a person with cancer to post a gofundme. Any attempt

I feel like more people now are so quick to turn on somebody with mental illnesses the moment the ugly starts showing through the cracks. It’s not encouraging to feel like you have a support system when those people would be inclined to leave you in the dirt at your worst.

Bpd is more then just crashouts. It’s a lot of silent lonely suffering, beating yourself up over things from years ago, not letting yourself get close to people etc. We need help but we need understanding too, we didn’t ask for intense emotional mood swings.
if you think bpd is exhausting to deal with then imagine how much worse it is to live with. nobody is obligated to cater to mentally ill people, nor should anyone feel like they are. but if you'd rather let someone go because its too much, at least be kind about it
the way people villianize bpd and dismiss breakdowns as being manipulative or attention seeking is a huge part of why so many of us with this disorder kill ourselves or try to. the world loves to kick mentally ill people when they're down
an outright abusive person that uses their mental illness as an excuse isn't the same thing as someone breaking down and crying for help. you cannot seriously expect someone having a suicidal breakdown and going through psychosis to be on their best behavior in the moment be fr
also i'm not saying people should excuse bad behavior or that people with bpd shouldn't take accountability, but i'm BEGGING y'all to understand that there's nuance and that people with bpd are unwell. this mental illness insanely painful to live with and navigate
