Re: Burdensome friend (talk of mental disorders)

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if this will help, but cracked.com recently ran an article about Borderline Personality Disorder:

In particular, this post reminded me of your situation:

"My younger brother is a diagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder sufferer (after being mistakenly diagnosed as Bi-Polar for a few years).

I love my brother, and logically, I understand that he's ill. But emotionally? Goddamn is it hard to give him the benefit of the doubt sometimes. You have to walk on eggshells around him, and I really wish I didn't think this way, but sometimes I'm positive he uses his illness as an excuse to be an a*****e.

I just don't know if I'll ever be able to *not* parse his shittiest behavior that way - is he acting on impulses he can't control? Or is just being a dick? Is he telling our mother to eff off and stop butting into his life, or is he just being an ungrateful prick? Is he skipping work because he's battling with some stuff that I just can't understand, or is he just being a lazy asshole? And I guess that's one of the roughest parts of BPD - so many of the harshest "symptoms" just look like the behavior of a selfish, arrogant, entitled asshat. It's so easy to write them off being someone you don't want to associate with, which just isn't necessarily the case.
