i don't have BPD but I don't think someone with BPD is freaky or strange. Borderline doesn't sound bad to me. I like you anyway.
Sometimes we worry more about what people think than we need to. They might be thinking what I think. I think you are a very valuable and important person. I do understand what it's like to wonder what people think. It's hell. I worry that people think I'm strange because I have a mental illness. But sometimes people are very ignorant. Once they find out what's really going on they can sympathize with us instead of judging us. I do hate it when my mum treats me like some kind of hopeless case. She says things like, 'Do you want me to come over to your place today and help you?' it makes me feel like I'm not capable of looking after myself. I do understand that she wants to be helpful but somehow I can't accept that. I feel like she wants to make me into her patient so that she will have someone to look after. Makes her feel worthwhile I suppose.
