The label, stigma

A large part of the stigma is probably mine. I spent years in denial becouse I felt that BP ment I was defective. In large part this was influenced by my growing up deaf. I had spent a lot of time trying to just be seen and treated as normal, I had teachers and bosses who felt I took their valuable time away from normal people who needed their help or jobs. I could accept PTSD because that was from trama but BP I felt like I had a big honking flashing neon sign pointed at me that said defective human.
