BPD stigma..

Don't let the stigmas get you down, poptart (or anyone else)!

They say "Those who matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter", and it's true. If people want to judge a diagnosis or treat you differently because of it, it's their failing.

As for anyone who calls us weak or pathetic (I'm sorry that you had to hear that from someone, Scorpio Eyes), I'll share what my SO says to me when I am feeling that way:
"With everything you deal with, and feel, and struggle through every day, you still get up in the morning and try. And that makes you stronger than solid oak."

Whenever I read or hear the negative things out there, I hold onto that. Because SO is right. We're here, and we're still standing, and there's a lot to be said for that, especially on days when we feel like we can't and we do anyway

Oops, I'm sorry, I thought when BrokenNBeautiful wrote men are criminalized it was intended that what I had said was incorrect. Today when I was talking to my T, he informed me that I had taken it wrong and that you were in fact agreeing with me. My apologizes to you all, and anyone who wants to help get this egg off my face is welcome to help.

sorry I messed up. (embarrassed)

Guess I am still ignorant about some stuff. And still acting like a know it all.
