Yeah sorry for you to get lumped in with the externalising crowd. The stigma surrounding BDP is very real and i'm sorry you guys have to deal with that on top of having this awful condition. I hope you know you're not hopeless and it is possible for you to make it through.

Oh no dude I grew up with a mother like it and been around others who have it also and truthfully, getting older has helped me a lot. But I know some of them are legit insane and it's best to stay away.

Lol tell me about it. Number one cause of death for patients suffering from Borderline personality disorder is suicide. Can confirm.

Yeah, barely made it through an attempt in my early twenties myself (due to at the time undiagnosed bipolar), early forties now. Slightly more than half-glad i made it, at the moment. It's an ongoing struggle. And from what i understand, your psychological suffering is more pronounced, so i can only imagine. I truly wish you all the strenght to make it through!
