Hey everyone! I hope you're all having a beautiful day. Within the past year I've had one friend say 'haha everything is bpd with you' and a partner who would get annoyed at how much I would mention my bpd when I'd talk about my triggers or my feelings (in a calm setting). I'm not one to scapegoat my actions and deny responsibility because of a mental health issue but when I see the dots, I draw the line. BPD is a personality disorder and when I speak about it, while the conclusions I draw are authentic and are me trying to communicate healthily about my symptoms and feelings that are bpd related, I feel like I'm getting passively judged for drawing comparisons to BPD in my own mental health journey. I start therapy soon, I am also interested in psychology, talking about my condition I thought would help build bridges with neurotypicals and others with BPD, but maybe I'm just making it my personality? I can't help seeing what is most likely because of BPD and I get other people won't always want to hear but if I'm not trauma dumping, is it me that's pushing a narrative too hard? Or them who are just not fine tuned to my wavelength? It's important to say I never use it to excuse my behaviour. I'm talking about when it just pops into conversation. Sometimes I feel really alone and just want to be seen and understand. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Have a lovely day everyone &lt;3
