I was diagnosed two years ago and since I told my immediate family they respond to arguments with “you need to get help”. When I’m actively seeing a therapist. I’ve seen a few therapists actually. It’s mostly in situations where I’m standing up for myself. My little brother (15) came over to my house and was trying to set up a karaoke system that I had put away and I told him I didn’t want loud noise in my house and to please not set it up and he screamed at me that I need to get help Because “BPD was clearly giving me sensory issues”. His words not mine.


Some of my family members will do certain things in my home that they know I’m not okay with and when I address it and say they can’t they go into a spiel about how I’m probably over reacting due to my BPD. 


I had to call the cops on my mom because she was abusing my little brother and she told the cops that I have a mental disorder and I “distort the truth” so my word wasn’t reliable. I seen what she was doing because he had me on FaceTime. Just that kind of stuff.

I also have family on my dad side that say there’s no way I have bipolar disorder. I’ve just completely stopped talking to a lot of people in my family I’ve had to block a lot of them tell them they’re not allowed at my house stuff like that.


I’m just wondering if this has happened to anyone else because sometimes it does make me feel like I’m going crazy.
