Just my own experience when I was diagnosed:

I did not mind the diagnosis as much as I minded the stigma associated with it.

I think my primary caretaker (parental figure) had it, too and she was so mean sometimes. Very abusive.

I want to not be like her.

Even pwbpd's can recover.

Inklings? Doctor's opinion, probably.

But who wants to be told they might have a disorder (or some of the traits) that looks so bad now?

Just my thoughts.
