Fortunately, my experience at PC has given me the chance to get to know MANY people with different personality/health concerns, and it's much easier to understand the person behind the disorder now. But remember that not everybody has had that chance. Most of them only know one person or have had one experience, and they may be a little scarred from it.

I couldn't agree more. It's kind of like when us ladies get together for a good old-fashioned gripe session. We're not (well not usually) dogging all men...just the one that ticked us off! It had that feel to me. Am I putting it down? Of course not! I enjoy a good session once a week! I do know that all men aren't the cause of my problem for that day.

I know SEVERAL BPD friends online who reach out to me most when others don't...just because.
