We don't always have a choice

 


Hi everyone, do you know the definition of the word choice? It means the act of choosing between two or more possibilities.

This post came from talking to my sister yesterday about some people who seem to think she chose to have BPD. Thus, choosing to be difficult, emotional and all over the place. She has been told that she is using BPD as an excuse for behaviour, no it isn’t an excuse it is the reason why she acts like she does.

Does anyone think I chose to have Parkinson’s; I don’t think so, the reason well maybe is because Parkinson’s is a neurological condition and BPD is a mental health condition.

You would think in the 21century people wouldn’t still think a mental health condition is something people chose to have. However, it does seem that is the way some people are thinking.

No one chooses to have any form of mental health condition. Why would someone think that it is a choice.
