Do we stigmatize ourselves? I think I do. I know I don't open up to people unless they are on my level of sanity. I run with the flock of people with bpd because I don't think people who don't understand me are worthy of my trust. I self sabotage, because of my bpd. I think lowly of myself, because I suffer from bpd. I am much more open now to mental illness, because I have bpd...before I would just laugh at the crazies.

I agree with the rest of the responses...see where it goes but you already know where it's going. Could you handle someone who stigmatizes what you are going through basically? Where's the support in that?
