I was talking to my mum about how my psychiatrist referred me to a DBT program and that I might have bpd... and she just invalidates how I feel. I don’t know if she’s trying to protect me, or she doesn’t want me to have that label, or she just doesn’t want to accept it, but she just dismisses everything I say and how I feel. She and my dad did the same thing when I told them I had depression. 

I get that we as a family don’t openly talk about our feelings and they’re probably uncomfortable talking about it, but I just wish they took my struggles more seriously. 

Anyone else have this problem with their family?
