I've never directly faced stigma due to the fact that I have BPD traits, but I've read some nasty stuff about it when doing research. Stigma really does hurt.

I have noticed that there's more awareness of mood disorders and anxiety disorders in the media, however. For instance, in the wake of Robin Williams' death, there were lot's of posts/articles around the internet that basically said "if you have depression, you are not alone". Which is of course fine, but suicide can be the result of soo many other mental illnesses. Depression isn't the only one that can end in suicide.

That's just something I've noticed anyways.
