I guess the BPD has been the hardest to accept and the easiest to resent, because of the stigma attached to it. It's as if now, if I go to the ER, I have to explain that my reason is part of my bipolar disorder and not BPD. Otherwise I get sent home and told to get help elsewhere. (This has actually happened to me.) If I have a BPD flareup, I'm told to figure out what my triggers are and deal with them. I find, at least where I live, that people with BPD are treated differently than the rest of the mentally ill. It sucks, but I've learned to live with it.
