using diagnosis for manipulation?

[Guest guest]

Hi all, has anyone had a nada who decided that they did have BPD but refuse to

get help for it and use it as justification for demanding more sympathy or

emotional caretaking? At first I was excited thinking well now she'll finally

get some help, but instead it's turned into a situation that's even worse than

before. It's like she's using the idea of BPD to dramatize how wounded she is

but yet has taken no responsibility or showed concern for the emotional harm

that she's done over the years. I keep on being surprised by the ways in which

this situation gets worse.
