some of yall should be ashamed and it truly horrifies me u have any medical authority. if you think all ppl with bpd are one thing you are ignorant. specifically malingering. malingering is not on the DSM5 for bpd, it is not referenced as a symptom anywhere credible in fact. that stereotype is used to harm ppl with bpd so much and it’s scary. you should be familiar with the term medical gaslighting, and you can now be sued and lose your license so i would just stay in your lane, bcuz diagnosing is not something your qualified for i imagine this is going to upset a lot of people, i am in school to work in harm reduction, and i have a lot of personal experience with ppl with bpd as well. someone i know who has bpd and who is a nurse said it’s rlly rampant on this sub and them i saw it for myself and i was shocked. if you don’t do this, this should not upset you. there are loads of awesome nurses who are open minded and stay in their lanes and as someone who plans to work with the mentally ill i appreciate you. if you have had a bad experience with someone with bpd, i shouldn’t have to explain this to someone who is college educated, but a handful of experiences does not give u the right to be prejudice and does not have more worth then actual diagnosing criteria and the DSM5 for bpd. i anticipate a lot of ppl to be very angry, with the nature of reddit and how easily ppl get offended on here so i probably wont read the replies i just wanted to get on here and say this and advocate for a group of people that are seriously stereotyped. please remember you guys see ppl at their very worst, and is not a round about nor accurate view of people specifically the mentally ill. i have heard about and personally had very very bad experiences dealing with nurses and mental health crises. again this is absolutely not all nurses not even most so if you don’t do this this should not offend you. and i encourage you all to advocate for ppl in compromising situations and circumstances when hearing this rhetoric because it is not only harmful but factually incorrect and leads to improper care especially in medical situations where mental health is entirely unrelated.   submitted by   /u/Prestigious_River_13 [link]   [comments]
