Hey guys,

I've been trying to deal with this on my own, but I really feel the need to tell someone. I feel like it's eating away at me, as I haven't really had an interaction quite like this. 

I had reached out on another subreddit to someone with whom I felt was struggling. What I said was taken VERY badly and the most ironic bs happened. I was basically told that they pity anyone I care about that suffers from mental illness... particularly depression, anxiety and BPD. This hit very hard considering I'm pursuing social work.

I cried about it. But at the same time I know I am not responsible for how they take my well meaning words. They promptly blocked me after calling me passive aggressive and saying that I'm basically a terrible petty person.

I just really needed to get this off my chest because I feel like I let a fellow borderline down. And I hate that. Even though my BPD is in remission (through lots of work), I am not perfect. 

To my sensitive borderline companions out there... please... not everyone is out to get you. And please don't shut people out and block them before they have a chance to rephrase what they meant. Taking stuff the way it wasn't intended is a specialty of mine... I get it. 

Take care, everyone. And I hope that you all have the best night in a long while. Keep on trucking.
