Funnily enough someone fitting that exact description is part of the reason I have BPD. Imagine the uproar if I were to start stereotyping all people with PTSD or combat vets based on my experience with my father. (Clearly they're all raging alcoholics who will attempt to strangle their child at some point.)

From a less personal viewing point. This would make no sense. It's still the same disorder with the same symptoms. The symptoms are simply presenting in a different way. You would have two different names for the same disorder and quite frankly it's confusing enough with the 3/4 others names they already have for BPD. Add in the fact that many with BPD also have a co-morbid diagnosis that could be affecting their behaviour and how can you even be sure that it's the BPD causing the problem behaviours?

On a personal note I do not like the idea of splitting us into groups and it often upsets me to see someone with BPD referring to the 'bad" BPDs.

We all have BPD. We are all hurting and there is enough hate coming in from the outside without us hating each other.

It is upsetting that someone has caused pain to someone else (and it does not excuse their behaviour) but that person is hurting just as much as the rest of us.

This is another problem with the stigma of BPD. A lot of people tend to conveniently forget that a large portion of people with BPD are trauma survivors.

Attempt to explain that though and you're just making excuses for yourself.

Get angry that people are saying bad things about you and you're not taking responsibility for yourself.

Someone please explain to me why I'm not allowed to get angry at someone saying I deserve to die?

I am yet to see an answer to that question that doesn't equate to "because you have BPD and your feelings don't matter."

Apparently the invalidation I received as a child wasn't punishment enough. Now I need to have complete strangers telling me not just that I'm worthless but that I'm pure evil.

I don't care that it's not directly pointed at me. When you say all borderlines and make generalizations- as someone with BPD- you ARE talking about me.

It doesn't matter how much I can understand why people are saying what they're saying. It doesn't hurt any less.

In the end the simplest answer would be to hate the person who hurt you. Not someone who happens to have the same label.

I understand the need for support between people who have been hurt but please keep it civil.

You're causing even more damage to a group of already damaged people. We didn't wake up one day and declare we wanted to be complete emotional messes intent on destroying the lives of others.

The people talking badly about people with BPD clearly need a lesson in empathy of their own.
