I had a meeting with a guy that wanted to help me set up a BPD support group, but reading online I found that people with other PDs are equally stigmatised and isolated, so I expanded my group plans to include all PD sufferers. The guy I met with saw the word 'schizoid' on the list and succumbed to his own horrible stigmas, and said 'we don't want any of those near us.'

Long story short, I've set up a panel meeting which I'm inviting carers, professionals, mental health group runners and PD sufferers to, to discuss the setup and running of a group, and how a meeting should go about. 

I was wondering what you guys' opinions are on the subject, maybe some of you already attend groups and have opinions on what works/doesn't work? I'd love to hear from you, feel free to PM if it's too personal to post online: and I want negative AND positive stories, to prepare myself!
