For myself, I don't want anybody to know and this is tough for me to do, especially with my b/f's friends who are great people. I need to take my own suggestion though and muster up the courage and try not to feel as though it's embarrassing to my boyfriend to have a girlfriend who is BPD. He suggested it though and I agree, it's just a matter of doing so. I guess as long as the whole world doesn't know . . . though it feels like it anyway.
I understand exactly how you feel and the confusion as to whether to open yourself up to others, trusting they will not take this info and hurt us.... Only you know how much trust is between you and the unknowing and if you can let down your guard.... Good luck!!! Take care .
