All I read is people should be compassionate wow that sounds like everyone won't be my friend or lover they will just pity me.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm in my 40's and never heard of BPD until last year when I was diagnosed and that was only because I lost my parents a couple years ago and couldn't cope and lost it. The younger generation is so damn lucky. We've been suffering with this so much longer and now that we're half way through our lives we're told our behavior is not accepted in society and to change who we are. It's so easy for the mental health professionals to tell us it's possible to change. Let's see the shoe on the other foot, have someone without BPD change the way they think. Let's see how easy it is for them to change the way your brain functions. I don't mean to offend anyone but I hate the mental health professionals as you can't fix something that there is no cure for.
