people my age on tiktok and even posting here wanting to desperately be diagnosed with BPD and it's like why? why would you want to have this big dark cloud over you? just live in ignorant bliss during your teenage life instead of knowing you have BPD and knowing how people will view you and having to tell people about it because you need to be honest with them, and above that people your age won't understand it and just gonna think it's one of those ✨ trendy ✨ disorders, not realizing the emotional pain you feel daily just from how everyone treats you and it just gonna be an excuse for your mom to act like the victim and blame you for everything. It's not a good thing to be diagnosed with it early, not like "I can know early and work on improving myself" it doesn't work that way.. even my therapist told me that it was a mistake for me to be diagnosed that early even if I actually have it, so it's really just sad when I see someone who is 13 asking here or on tiktok "how do I get a diagnostic" I didn't even know what BPD is before I was diagnosed and now I'm always aware of the stigma we have and how careful I should be when I meet people A. cause of my age and B. cause of BPD and that make me such an easy target to be abused and manipulated, maybe this is unpopular opinion but I wish that I live in ignorant bliss till I became an adult because now I feel alone and misunderstood by my family and "friends" who would never understand it and I don't expect them to understand it because of our age.
