Hi family,
have noticed that this whole time that have been here, it's has been complaining. Poor me.
know am dealing w a person who is struggling w a serious mental illness.
I have background in medical coding, so BPD is a legit dx for s.m.i. (serious mental illness.)
My s.o. gets disability va for this. If he had diabetes, and i was complaining about his behaviour, it would be like, get a grip! He has a disease.
Just sharing my awareness.
Sincerely, j

Hi juju2,
In my book it is only complaining if one is not willing to do something about it. I think we all have to talk this stuff out... .the key is working on ourselves and supporting others. It's okay to experience unhappiness, confusion, exasperation, etc. I hope you feel free to express that here.
I have always had the sense you are very committed to being self-aware and making personal changes. Glad to have you around to help inspire others to do the same.
warmly, pearl.
