I got an email from my friend who I have been very attached to for months now. She doesn't understand BPD. This is what she says, "I don't understand why you just can't be straightforward and answer a question with a direct, honest answer. Instead you always have to spin this story that gets more and more elaborate and less specific and it ends up making us fight. Why can't you just be STRAIGHT HONEST?"

I don't know how to explain to her what happens in my head. Can you help me put in words what BPD is like in the brain??
