The people closest to me know (family, SO, & my best friend).

For me, individually, I began to feel like not saying "I have BPD" was the equivalent of not saying "Voldemort": it just increased my fear of the stigma and made me feel even more isolated. I felt like it might really take a village to help me work through things, so I figured I should probably let the village in on my little secret.

For the most part, everyone has been pretty understanding, even if they don't really know what it's like to feel like this.
