Today is a down day for me. I haven't been medicated in months and I just had my psychiatric review this past week and the psychiarist has recommended some new meds to my doctor. I can't wait to have them in my system and see if I can get back to being my somewhat happier, functional self.

So, because I don't want to do much today I'm currently laying in bed watching a new show I've come to love. It was going great until they introduced a woman who was mentally unstable. Her daughter's friend believes that it's bipolar but the doctor says it sounds more like BPD.

AND of course, in that same episode, the woman stabbed the doctor for asking her questions, because she believed they are trying to lock her up.

WHY must media, movies and shows make it seem like we're going to become so unstable to the point of killing someone? Or trying?

Yes, I know. This happens once in a while. I know that I have an anger so fierce and powerful that I could hurt someone. That doesn't mean we're going to. We're not killers. We're all not bad.

We just sometimes need proper help and guidance to become who we can be despite the dark demons of our minds.

I just want to see one portrayal of BPD that doesn't make it seem like we're all crazy.

TL;DR - I hate how people use BPD for people in shows who are crazy.
