I have dealt with a lot of stigma against borderline diagnosis since I got it. Denied treatment, told I deserved to have a battering husband because I must have caused him to hit me since I have borderline, etc. (That was AFTER he was so violent that police got involved. BEFORE that, they said I was making it up, because I am borderline.) NOW when you google borderline, there's a lot of hateful wrong stigmatizing things said! That we are sociopaths. That WE are the abusive violent people. and etc. Even another support forum for family members of personality disorders does this; and people claiming to be therapists go on national talk shows and talk to the media about how Borderlines are violent, sociopathic, stalkers, etc. I feel completely cut off from society in part because of this stigma.
