Has anyone else been damaged by this word in therapy?

I seriously can't stand it. If I hear someone say the "m-word" I feel like I'm being punched in the stomach. I haven't had the BPD diagnosis since it was replaced by OCD 10 years ago and I still hate this word. I don't find it any less damaging or judgemental than words like "sinful" or "bad."

To me, it's a word that drips with malicious intent -- a value statement, not a clinically descriptive word.

I heard someone else called this word the other day and I had a crazy visceral reaction to it.
