Yeah I understand what you're saying Buttercup. I wish it were as easy as just smply a "label" a label, i could or others could just rip off, and say NO MORE. Unfortunately I'm also not saying that we should ignore that the disorder exists because it is there. I do have days and periods when I know that it's BPD causing some issues in my life. A label is only just a name, without really much meaning. Although I've had asked of me, "why do you want to be labeled?" I don't see it as that. It is indeed a meaningful description of me, but I just never want it to be ALL of the description of me. It's just a certain aspect of my life and myself that I struggle with.
