Hi all, I’m new to this subreddit. I was recently diagnosed with BPD and a lot of things are starting to make sense with my past and my behavior. 

So I have been at my job for about six weeks however recently my stress levels have been slowly creeping up. One of my major triggers are foul language and anger. The manager I work under has a temper and swears like a sailor. I was doing okay to begin with but this last week my stress levels went up sky high. Problem is this turns into a catch-22. I get stressed, I make a mistake, manager gets angry, and the cycle repeats. 

I don’t know what to do. I’ve finally landed a good job where I fit in well and everyone likes me. It’s taken me over a year to finally find this job. Has anyone ever talked with their upper management about their BPD? I don’t know if I can tell someone that their language and behavior are a trigger to my disorder. So, there you have it. I don’t want to go through another week of feeling like I have to cower and hide.
