Hey @BPDSurvivor @I kind of get the impression from what you have said that  maybe you feel that your mental health diagnosis is being weaponised? Or or maybe that that they have been unskillful?
I can understand why you felt so much anger and pain at those comments, I felt that way just reading about it. I also have major trust issues and openly admit that I am very untrusting and extremely skeptical of people. That’s not something I hold against myself or would ever judge anybody for. 

See the funny thing with mental health is that once people find out that you have a mental health condition it seems to become an excuse for others to just blame the person with the MH for all of the relationship problems. Communication is always a two way street though. People seem to forget their own shortcomings and bad behaviour when interacting with others. 

Just because you have MH doesn’t mean you always have to be the one who is wrong. If others are being rude saying inappropriate things then they should own it.

But remember that we all fall short. Maybe they are having their own mental health issues that they are not in touch with or coping with? What do you think?

Remember that you only need to take accountability for your own actions. Their behaviour is theirs. Whether they own it or not is not your concern, it’s their problem. These same accountability principles that as us MH folk people learn also applies to everyone else. 

Also you deserve to be respected and have your own boundaries respected. When I become intensely uncomfortable or distressed by someone else’s comments or action I say “No thank you, this is not helpful”. It’s quick and to the point. It says I am not engaging in this because it’s hurting/harming me, and it also causes the person to look inward and reflect on their own actions without any blaming or finger pointing. Even if the other person is not “in the wrong” it alerts them to the fact that you are feeling distressed and are not coping with the direction of the situation . If the person doesn’t respect my request for them to stop then I tell them “this is to much, I have to go”. 
Thats ideally how I like to handle things when I feel people are  not honouring my boundaries. 

sounds like you have been super busy. Teaching is such an intense job. 1000 reports sounds massive. Is that usual to write other people’s reports? 

I disappear from the forums for periods and come back as well. I Just use them as I need. That’s the thing I love about this place. There is no pressure. Or expectation on me.
