I have only read on people with BPD that have been able to hold onto jobs for years and year. Ironically it's only ever quiet BPD's. There's something about our ability to turn things inward that allows us to hold a job down because we aren't lashing out at others. But for me the depression makes that difficult. This week I had to approach my boss to let her know that I'm not doing well both physically (anemia) and mentally.
I hate having to have that conversation because it is both taxing and emotional. I always wonder what in the world am I asking for from this. Im not asking for time off or pity but I know that I need something. It reminds me that I'm less than human in some way. That I need help to function in the way a normal person would. We all need help but not this type of help, not this often and not life long.
I won't keep you long today, just a reminder that we're all fighting some kind of battle.
