The mental health services give up on BPD
So we are left to cope alone and I admit I am not doing so well. However, I really do not know who to turn to for help. My GP surgery is worse than useless and the crisis line really need me to tell them what to say or do. I do not want to bother emergency services but increasingkly, I believe I will become an emergency because I see no other way of asking for help.
The problem is that BPD sufferers do not know how to ask for help so help needs to be easily avaviable yet increasingly I actually believe they wish me dead.
I expect if you have BPD you know exactly how I feel.
“Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe mental disorder characterized, in part, by paradoxical and self-defeating behavior, particularly in the realm of interpersonal relationships. I have described BPD as fundamentally a disorder of self-contradiction1; via the process of cyclical psychodynamics, first described by Paul Wachtel, PhD,2 the patient with BPD inadvertently elicits precisely what they most fear.“
