I know it’s both genetic and environmental factors, like many other mental illnesses, but I’m curious how others feel about their own diagnosis. My therapist said it has to do with my upbringing. Sometimes I wonder why I’m apparently the only one if my family that’s “messed up”. I’m the youngest of 6, and I know my siblings went through stuff too. I mean, we don’t really talk about mental illness so, who knows. I witnessed abuse growing up, and my parents didn’t get along, so maybe those factors play their parts.
