RE: Psychologize with me #2: Different perspective on personality disorders
What is worst is to be on a borderline. Borderline spectrum of disorders (excuse me if I use wrong terms, I am not an expert), like what I have make a person partly limited regarding everyday abilities and potentially harmfl. I am one such case and often I do bad things out of clumsiness, which is related to non-psychiatric disorders I have, such as amblyopia.
What is worst is that people with mild psychiatric disorder manifestations cause a big dissappointment among their closest relatives. Parents can despise you just because you did not meet their expectations. Instead of helping and being understanding they make things even worse. Mental disorders, at least those that do not make a person with a disability, require UNDERSTANDING. But some parents are obnoxious, as described by Susan Forward, and they're even harming mentally fit children.
Hi @miroslavm, thank you for the useful comment, and for sharing your experiences! It is true that mental disorders, and especially those issues that cannot be classified as real disorders, require understanding, for making better relationships with the people close to us.
Susan Forward is a great author, I'm glad you had a chance to read her writings!
Recommendation for your next topic on Psychology: the so called energy vampires. Who they are, what defines them, and how not to become one.
cool, I'll write about it in one of the next articles! :)
