I just wanted to write this because I figured some of you who happen to see this may relate or understand where I'm coming from. Before you misread my post and say that I think this, I don't. Suffering from this disorder continuously I'd have to be stupid as hell to think that it's not real. I hate the word 'Invalidating' but that's how it feels when someone says this disorder isn't real. Perhaps 'discredit' is a better word. I hate this disorder in itself and wish every day I didn't have it because of the stigma and the way I'm treated because of it, by so-called mental health professionals and others. Anyway, I don't know how long it's been since I've made a thread here or a thread in general but I just wanted to type this. If you want to argue or call me stupid, don't bother. I don't want your idiocy to infiltrate the rest of this subforum.
Whoever has said that borderline personality disorder is not real is a moron, imnsho. It is very real. I'm sorry someone (or maybe more than one someone) was so discrediting to you.

(having said that, a friend of mine who was a doctor said she did not believe in that dx, this was a while back though. She did not talk about anyone ''imagining'' or not being ''real'' though. I think some have been misinformed (in real life)
