jackiemarie90 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Cause I just had lunch with my old youth pastor, and she she spilled all the gossip I was missing and mah gawd, there are people going through way worst. People with worse mental illnesses, 15 years in prison, and other stuff. I was like OH DAMN! Suddenly I don't seem like a screw up. Why is church gossip always so juicy and cray. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girl, I feel this way sometimes just visiting the psychiatrist office, and I see young men my age sitting alone and talking themselves. I talked to this lady that was surprised I was as high functioning as I was. I feel like sometimes people that have these types of issues are just a few mistakes or few unlucky moments from having nothing left in life. So while it is hard, there is something to be said for it could possibly be worse, until it can't get any worse anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly thought, well what I have is manageble and I am currently getting treatment for it. But some peoples lives are completely changed right now. And people who cussed me out before turns out they have borderline personality, so I shouldn't be upset about what they think of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borderline personality people are some of the hardest to deal with. A lot of their symptoms overlap with bipolar disorder but some do not, I have heard it is also harder to treat typically but I don't know why. Also, you are not a failure, everyone gets along at their own pace Jackie, and some people have more hurdles to overcome than others. That doesn't make them any better or worse than you, it just is what it is and it is either dealt with and overcomes or it is not. This isn't really an area of life where there is a failure or a winning scenario. There is a stable and an unstable scenario. And keep in mind that the illness doesn't define who you are or your self-worth it is just a facet of your life. You are a good person regardless so keep your head up.

That is a way more mature way of looking at things. You do have a lot of understanding how the world should work, versus what people choose. An admirable trait.
