Things not to say to someone with BPD

With the new year about reflections etc... thought it could be interesting to think about the most outrageous/funny and down right awful advice or comments people have said to you in regards to your BPD?

Ill go first.

  • All I can see is that you have no control over your emotions and you need to get a grip.
  • Have you tried thinking about that in a positive way?
  • Do you really expect me to believe you have a good understanding of your mental health? (That was said to me by a medical professional)
  • You need to not worry about these things.
  • BPD is not real (said by someone with no medical knowledge)
