I'm sorry the article you read was so disturbing to you, allme.
I know that when I've searched the web for articles and blogs about BPD, I've often come across things that really reek of hatred and distain for us. It can be hurtful and soul rattling. I'm glad you stepped away to regain your equilibrium. Sometimes that's all you can do after coming in contact with articles that show little understanding of the pain people with BPD deal with on a daily basis.
I often find it amusing that so many of these articles and blogs accuse individuals with BPD of lacking any degree of empathy. Yet, when they write about us, they show little understanding or empathy for us. I guess I'd rather "hang" with people who are at least trying to better themselves than ones who are ripping into other people who are dealing with a serious mental health issue.
I'd be glad to take a look at the article if you'd send me the link. Take care!
