I feel as though a lot of us delude ourselves and have become complacent with our diagnosis. Maybe this is just me ranting on my own shortcomings, or maybe it's something you guys are feeling too, but it seems with BPD becoming popularized in media and in general society, it's become a symbol of pity. Not that people can't see our behaviours from the side and tell us that our shit, in fact, stinks too- just that sometimes pulling the victim card, saying "I have BPD, this is all trauma- how else did you expect me to act?" lets us escape from accountability.

I only recently got a chance to remove myself from my delusions, as I took a break from my general environment and stopped seeing a therapist that furthered my perception that everything I did was rational, and that everything was 'mommy and daddy's fault'. I recently saw a post describing what could trigger a BPD episode, and one of the listed items was 'any kind of rejection'. However true that might be, don't you think we owe it to ourselves and our environment to be better?

I'll admit, I am pretty freshly diagnosed, and there are some of you who have been dealing with this for much longer, sought help and have a better grip  on your BPD than me, but I also know I'm not the only one out here who just needs to hear that I need to get my shit together- stop, think, be considerate, and only then act.
