How have you guys explained your diagnosis to your family? 

I only have two family members left and I can’t seem to get across to them the severity of BPD and how it’s a completely different thing to your standard anxiety and depression that most people will experience (and they have and think it’s the same thing). 

I’m exhausted with trying to explain how it affects me every day of my life and why I can’t do certain things because they’re a trigger for me. 😞
