Hi I'm new on here. I feel that whenever you tell someone that you had BPD especially a therapist they seem to assume that you will be aggressive and difficult etc. however when I tell them that I have Bipolar (which I have as well) I get treated quite differently and seem to get a lot more empathy from them. When I tell them that I have both plus PTSD as well they are always very helpful in all ways. So yes it is true that there is a huge bias against those with BPD. Only my closest friends know that I have BPD and everyone else knows about PTSD and Bipolar plus I'm prone to Major Depression. Just thought I'd add my input to this discussion here.
Take care everyone.
