The one that gets me the most is 'u had/have so much potential' - I'm fucking well aware of that and pointing that out, reminding me that I am NOT the barrister I so desperately wanted to be DOES NOT help :angry:

one of my names means full of potential and iv allways hated that, all potential means is you havent done it yet, not so nice to get reminded of that!! i doubt there is a person anywhere who ever lives up to their 'potential'. what a curse of a word

I get tons of hurtful comments like...

"you're crazy" or "stop acting crazy"

"you're stupid" "stop being so stupid"

"why are you being/ always like this"

"stop being a baby"

"you're lazy"

"stop being depressed" (YEAH FUCKING RIGHT)

"it's not like you're going to die" or "the world isn't going to end"

"go away"

"stop nagging"

"grow up"

"why cant you just be normal" (seriously wtf)

"just think positive" (hmm...kinda hard to do when you're constantly being put down, have depression and bpd)

and the list goes on and on.....fuck I hate people who don't understand!

I get:

You're such a drama queen!

You can't let anything go can you?

You need to accept certain things (Not if they offend me I don't)

Everyone gets depressed from time to time, it's no big deal.....(This from my mum who's dad was sectioned for 20+ yrs..)

Worse things happen at sea

We did everything we could for you, good school, nice life - and look at how you turned out (yer this is going to make me feel better isnt it)

You depress me - This comment hurt a lot

You're lazy

Get a grip - Of what exactly? lol

Grow up

........As well as all the other comments you guys have posted.

If people bothered to learn about mental health problems, rather than just take the piss and assume we choose to feel like this, our world would be a better place!

BPD wannabe, thats good crack that is lol

Truth is they exist. Like it or lump it. I said it and I have BPD. What does that make me - someone who doesn't understand?

Ok. Goodbye all. I am gonna beat this thing alone.

I've heard...

  • stop crying, crying solves nothing
  • you have to just get over it, straighten up, get out of the house and do like me
  • you think life is easy for me?
  • you have to make yourself better
  • no one likes to be around someone that's depressed ...fill in the blank
  • it's not always about you (because this one is so true it really smacks me in the face)
  • have you lost your mind?
  • are you stupid or what? you don't know? well, what do you know? huh? (with finger jabbing forehead)
  • you have too much time on your hands
  • you think too much
  • you need to just get over yourself
  • nobody in their right mind acts like this
  • so what will killing your self do?
  • everyone feels desperate sometimes but we get over it
  • I'm not going to treat you with kid-skin gloves anymore, do you hear me?
  • oh, and I guess you know everything
  • Ms. smarty-pants
  • you are so negative
  • you are so moody
  • geez, can't anything in your stupid little life be simple/normal/fun... another fill in the blanks
  • I don't have to put up with this sh*t
  • no one can put up with you
  • what is your problem
  • I wish you could see what I see, you'd change your tune then, honey
  • better off dead, how stupid is that
  • do I threaten to kill myself every time I have a bad day? no, I deal with it
  • well, that was your stupidity, now wasn't it (being upset about something)
  • psychiatrist just want to know about your childhood or your sex life, they're sick
  • how does talking to some one help anything
  • you take too many medications and you need to just learn to cope like the rest of us
  • all those pills aren't going to do anything but get you high ...make you stupid ...mess up your brain
  • psychiatrists don't know anything about how people live, are they out here struggling like the rest of us, I don't think so?
  • the women in your family have never been right

    and my all time favorite... you keep acting like that and somebody is going to think you're crazy!

"you love the drama, you do all this for the attention"

"STOP BEING SO CRAZY"

"Go on, kill yourself then, you're not going to do it"

"everyone feels like that, but they don't need to pretend they have a 'condition'"

they all make me feel like shit.
