Here is what I linked my friends

1. It's good you're taking responsibility with dbt etc.
2. It's best to keep your friends on a need to know basis. In most cases they don't need to know. There is stigma attached to mental illness, and probably moreso to pd.
3. I suspect what your friend may be referring to about accountability is bpd is not an excuse for your actions. It's great that your taking dbt, however if you screw up and do something bpd related you're going to be held accountable for your actions. They are not excused because you have bpd or are taking classes.
