I was diagnosed with this when I was 18, I checked my medical record online and it seems like they removed it and replaced it with "social maladjustment"... and it did feel like a weight off my shoulders.

I know the stigma surrounding it can be intense... and I imagined telling other people maybe someone I would grow close too about this diagnosis and imagine them running away as fast as possible.

I think it's really I mean really really important to understand this is a condition an individual is in, this isnt an essential description of a person, your not a "borderline" your a person who has problems, the description of which might fit this. This isnt who you are essentially or are doomed to be forever, its just the place your at right now, and try not to internalize it so much.
