* Having BPD causes us all to be Histrionic or Anti-Social sub-types.

Meaning if we say we have borderline personality it's automatically assumed we cannot live without attention and will even destroy others lives to get the attention we feel we deserve whether for ill or worse. Not all of us cope the same way with our psychological distress, having this disorder does not make us drama hungry or overtly sexual. There are a lot of borderlines out there in the world that do cope (I repeat **COPE** because that's what they are trying to do) in these ways. They are basically out on their own missions to ruin everything and anyone around them due to false beliefs and immense psychological distress. Although, to automatically assume the borderline diagnosis means we all must be interested in messing around with others lives and destroying everything about it for our own twisted gain is so wrong and so unfair. Not everyone with BPD is at the same stage of getting better and recovering, not everyone with BPD will exhibit and express the exact same coping strategies whether for bad or good. No one is the exact same, being borderline does not automatically makes us all the same person.

* "It's a disability, you can't get better from it."

I can't express how angry this kind of statement makes me, I've heard this from someone before. BPD is a disorder of the mind, yes there is factors of genetics involved but it is primarily produced from early childhood environment. All mental illnesses are essentially disabilities due to how much they can affect our lives, but it does not mean we cannot get better or rewire our mental processing. We will always have the chance to learn, grow and evolve. No matter what illness or disorder or combinations of it that an individual lives with, they will always have the chance to get better. We are not "defective" or "broken". We're just a specific class of individuals with many psychological hurdles to get through. If we look for help and want it, any of us can get better.
