I havent experienced a lot of stigma only because I recieved far too much from the people that I told...after my second time in the hospital, I was diagnosed with BPD for the first time along with psychosis, depression, anxiety. When I gave my mom the medical papers for her to look over and sign (Im still under her insurance), she was really disturbed by the words "borderline personality disorder" and thought that meant I just snap into 2 different people randomly. My ex-fiance always blamed our fights and disagreements on my BPD ("oh this how everyone on BPD gets/you didn't take your meds today, did you?/yeah you WOULD say something like that with your BPD"). I'm too afraid to confide in anyone else about it because I'm afraid they'll start blaming everything I do on BPD.
