I'm hesitant to even get evaluated bc I am aware of the stigma that BPD has and am pretty certain I am borderline (I am a psychotherapist myself and have heard a lot of negative things being said about BPD patients). I shared that I feel I might have BPD to a friend and she said "I think I would rather be schizophrenic than borderline" and I was like "well that's fucked up to say since I literally just told you I might be." I know she said this to say that BPD is taxing and incredibly challenging but it fucking sucked and has made me even more hesitant to get the dx.
