Do people really think handling people with BPD is too much?

BPD has a LOT of stigma and people don't recognize that it manifests in a lot of different ways.

Yes. My partner worked on a psych ward for over a decade. Yes. Hands down yes.

I imagine that is painful to hear being BPD. I truly hope you have a good care team and work to keep yourself healthy and not abusive to others around you. It will make life so much easier for you.

And just remember, like most mental illness, there's a spectrum- some individuals have it FAR worse than others.

@Ideation I have BPD but I wouldn’t say I’m too much to deal with…

Unless people feel that way about me and I don’t know?

@BabyDolls they do, or your diagnosis isn’t correct. Or perhaps have very mild bpd

I do not.
If anything I have empathy, because BPD people often faced extreme neglect or abuse as children.
