What’s something you wish others understood about your mental health?

That protecting my peace is important to me so if I go no contact it's because you caused it. Of course, I'm referring to family. 

To mental health professionals:"I am not just my BPD label, my fractured personality you don't want to deal with even in crisis, doesn't mean I am not in pain...ancient, deeply ingrained pain...I am not "attention seeking", and then again, when I " seek attention " it is because I truly need help, not to be dismissed, condescended to, treated like a criminal, humiliated.

We sufferers of BPD do indeed truly SUFFER.

And that comes from SOMEWHERE, so please please acknowledge that"
