I am not my disorder. I know that, too.

But I still am very aware of stigma and still feel very alone and isolated.

I still have thoughts in my head that say, "Billi, people are only going to see what they want to see and that's your bpd. How can you expect anyone to see anything else about you because once you're pegged as a bpd, you are EFFED."

And that makes me feel very sad and very scared and very angry. I need to remind myself that not all people will have that attitude. I do try to show my good traits and we all h ave them. The fear does permeate though, often. I hate feeling like I need to hide something.

thanks for th is,

Billi
