(Unpopular opinion? I hope not)

Rant/vent because I’m sick of this. Your symptoms does not excuse being an asshole to other people. Period.
 
Of course, nobody’s perfect and everybody does less than kind things, some more than others. But I’m talking about when people who have BPD do something extremely shitty and/or hurful and then make the excuse ”But I have BPD”. As if that would excuse said behavior.
 
This stems from a lot of things, mainly one incident involving a friend of my girlfriend’s (and my own impulses of being very shitty to people and my hate for said impulses). My girlfriend has a former friend who has BPD and she basically made a vent blog, which of course is in itself fine and good even, but she ended up writing things like ”so and so should listen to their anxiety and kill themselves”. With names and all.
When my gf and the others found out, she’d been writing those kinds of things for months already. While they were still friends. 
The people she’d written about told her that what she’d done was not only extremely hurtful, but also a criminal offense. She tried to make herself the victim and made it sound like it was her BPD that made her do it, and still whines publicly on social media about not meaning anything.
 
There’s a line and she crossed it. There’s a definite line between making a vent diary, or even an anonomys blog where you do not say the names of the people you want to kill themselves, and what she did.
