I don’t know what to make of it, when I was first told I could have a PD I was angry at the term “personality” disorder because it felt a bit hurtful. But on reflection my main upset was about how others view the level and the knowledge that from then forwards I would be stigmatised.

However since diagnosis I feel like it has helped me find answers and validated for my life struggle and obviously a community online with people who actually know what it’s like to live with this painful phenomena. 

Now that professionals are trying to change the narrative and take it away I feel like I’m taking it personally, I’m annoyed that they are coming for something that is by default a part of my identity, like I just found answers and now some professionals are with the view that personality disorders don’t exist. Don’t know how I feel about it, what about you guys?
