Reply to "The stigma endures"

MallardMember

I don't have enough of the criteria to warrant a diagnosis but I have suffered with enough borderline traits over the years to know how debilitating it can be to be to find it difficult to regulate your emotions and struggle with black and white thinking.

I agree that there is a stigma attached to BPD - I've witnessed it in mental health services certainly. Outside of mental health services, the general public really only understand what is fed to them via the media and don't distinguish between the disorders, which is a problem.

I don't believe BPD is untreatable or that people struggling are manipulative.

I was going to write more but I've got to run!
