oh so you have bpd

oh so you have bpd bipolar disorder no borderline personality disorder it's a different diagnosis so what is bpd then bpd is a mental illness that severely impacts someone's ability to regulate their emotions so the moment we feel like a distressing emotion it literally consumes us to the point I don't know how to respond and react appropriately oh so you have a temper tantrum just like kids excuse me I have bpd because I was raised in a traumatic environment where I was taught to either suppress my emotions or I was neglected for showing my emotions and if I did show my emotions I was shamed ridiculed or abused for it but if you were raised in that environment why would you act that way because I wasn't taught how to regulate my emotions when I experience these distressing thoughts or emotions as well as feelings that just sounds like an excuse it's actually not an excuse I don't choose to rage out on people I have learned that over time that's the only way I can bring myself to safety because I wasn't taught how to properly respond to distress so now my body alerts me to distress when there isn't distress and now it's the only way I know how to respond
