"What we experience as a 3 on the difficulty scale of 1-10, they likely experience as an 11. They might be smart and capable, which leads loved ones scratching their heads when something seemingly simple knocks them down. It can look like drama and folks with BPD are often labeled as being dramatic, but the pain is typically real for them."
