Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Just so you all know I DID post this in the other community but there is usually a lot of fedback here so I'm posting it again, hope you all don't mind...
Ok so I have borderline presonality disorder and up until this past year I never even knew what it meant. I did reaserch and googled and all kinds of junk trying to figure out what it means and if I really do have it. It turns out that the doctors were right in my diagnosis. I fit the general description. But now I have a problem. I tried explaining to my best friend and my room mate that a lot of my actions come from bdp. I printed up information on it and gave it to Anthony to read so he would understand better cause I can be hard to live with at times. And talked to my bf about it, the reactions I got from them sucked. Anthony refused to read anything cause he feels I'm using this as an excuse for my behavior, or a way to "walk all over him" and get away with it, and Karla just was like just cause you have this doesn't mean you are this. DAH!! I was just trying to say look I have bdp and this is why I do or say things, it just fits the criteria, and I'm doing the best I can in my theropy to adress it.
Does anyone feel like they are still mis judged that suffer from this...is it true that even though I feel I'm getting help I've just sunk into this disorder?.....I'm just so bummed cause every action I take is so bdp and I don't know how to change it. Any comments or advise would be awsome - thanks

Unfortunately, those around you right now, who you are describing, don't seem to be helping you much, because they aren't acknowledging that you are taking steps to find out about your illness, which is the first step in doing something about it.
What they have told you just indicates thier blindness, because everyone has something they could impove on.
