Nice post mindseek. So many problems might go away or be less extreme under those circumstances.

You know the stigma isn't just in the general public. My T once mentioned to me that she hates it the way some Ts refer to their patients - using labels like they aren't people and sometimes rolling their eyes. Horrible isn't it.
(Aside: T picks up on it because she was in therapy for quite some years herself and I think was diagnosed as BPD because she's sensitive to that label. She's very cautious about using labels with me even when I want her to - for me I don't know what the stigmas are really - I there are very few that I have any feelings about at all - so it isn't anything more than information to help me figure out what is going on and how to cope.)
