I thankfully have not gotten those sort of reactions to my Type II BPD (although I don’t talk about it much), but I sure get it all the time for another medical issue I’m dealing with. Even now that I have a probable diagnosis and am making progress, I still get armchair medical experts diagnosing me and telling me what I need to do to treat it. And I know most of them mean well, but it’s so damn infuriating.

Also, not a single one of them has been right. Not one.
