Hey all,


Tonight I was triggered by what showed up on my front page... this is a post from r/relationships:


https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/3ouoii/update_my_23f_boyfriend_25m_of_3_years_says_he/


I read through the comments and it's basically a whole lot of people generalizing that BPD sufferers are all assholes and 'sociopaths'.  I know this isn't true, therapists know this isn't true, psychiatrist's know this isn't true, and yet the stigma exists.


I feel that the people who have had bad relationship breakups want to blame it on the illness as if to classify the diagnosis as bad boyfriend/girlfriend/partner material.  The truth is that lots of relationships don't work out that don't involve any type of mental illness.  


I feel better that I expressed myself here.  I want the stigma to stop and I made a few comments on that post.  Hopefully we can all speak up in whichever way works for us because people have no right to ignorantly toss around insults and misinform others about BPD.


Thanks.
