to be honest her diagnosis isnt going to go away so i am going to leave her to teach herself that BPD is just as important and hard to deal with as other mental health problems.

she has to go into treatment for her newly diagnosed BPD so she will learn soon.

i dont have the time for her i know the truth and that is all that matteres.
