crikey. not everyone with BPD is the same. i'm in hospital at the moment, i didn't ask to be, and i didn't ask not to be. it was suggested to me and i said okay. i said okay because the nurses and the IHTT thought it would help me to feel better and they were worried about how scared i was. i didn't care either way.
i've wanted to be in hospital before. i haven't wanted to for quite a while. when i was admitted this time, i hated myself so much for falling that far, that i walked backwards back up the corridor until my back was against the door.
luckily the staff have been very understanding and say they want to support me and let me have some rest. not at one time has anyone mentioned that i have BPD (which i do). i am being treated because i am not well at the moment. people with BPD can become poorly and need treatment sometimes too.
and what if i had wanted to be in hospital? would i have been wrong, because i have BPD? or could i just have had an understanding of what i needed at that time?
can we please try not to generalise too much?
