Three weeks ago my therapist told me that I have BPD. When I had the courage to tell some of my family members, they had a hard time believing it and I was even told my diagnosis is bullshit. Like, I wish it was bullshit. My behaviors have resulted in lost friendships, a shrinking allowance, and have almost gotten me into legal trouble. I'm guessing they are having a hard time believing I have BPD because I don't always show it to others. In fact, only a few people see the borderline side of me. I'd say I'm a bit higher functioning when it comes to my BPD but it doesn't mean I don't have my issues some days. Sometimes I question the diagnosis, but I know denial was what got me into a rough spot before starting therapy. I just hate that my family isn't the best support system when it comes to mental health.
