I am in a meditation group with many, many people, and I don't think anyone in there has a psych diagnosis at all.

Mindfulness is not about what diagnosis we have/don't have. It's really about practicing being in the present moment.

I don't think BPD carries the stigma that it used to at all...no matter what our diagnosis, we're still us. You're still you, diagnosis or not, mindfulness or not. Sometimes it helps me to remember that.
i don't think i worry about the stigma of BPD as i do failing after i have tried for so many years to overcome this.
i would be nice if it did help me stay grounded and help me be able to talk to my T without freaking out.it just seems like that could never happen
