A long time ago, I was diagnosed with Borderline PD (Personality Disorder) and I hadn't taken it well. I didn't fully understand what it was and why people developed it and quite frankly, I still don't really understand it. Looking it up, though, there were so many YouTube videos that were posted where the YouTuber said things along the lines of:
"People with Borderline Personality Disorder are disgusting, manipulative pigs/monsters and they should not be trusted." Other YouTubers said the same but in a more respectable way, saying "People with BPD are not trustworthy at all and are incapable of truly loving others. Do not befriend those with this disorder."
It's part of why I was so upset with the disorder because those videos as well as some articles made ME feel like a bad person for having BPD. I never told my therapist about it because I'm kind of scared that I won't be trusted.
If you have BPD or know someone who does, can you explain a little about it and your thoughts on it? What are some difficult things about BPD in therapy and in your personal life?
