Everyone on this planet likes to feel safe.

Imagine a person you cared about gave you details of a mental illness and accused you of having BPD? How would you honestly feel?

Clearmind,

If my partner said that I have BPD... . I will ask her what makes you think I have BPD? I dont think I will into rage or start yelling ,threatening or cursing.

@wanttoknowmore,

i dont think that puts you in her shoes though... .

the question should be, if you had a mental illness, and a person you cared about gave you details of a mental illness and accused you of having BPD, how would you honestly feel
