I was diagnosed a few years ago with BPD after I check myself into the hospital for suicidal thoughts, and then a week later for drinking a shot of paint thinner... Aside from that I have a history of suicide attempts as well as a string of very intense love / hate relationships that all ended with extremely dramatic events. I also have a large number of scars from cutting, and burning myself over the course of many years...

I'm not listing all of that stuff to brag, but to make it clear that the diagnosis was accurate and yet it seems awkward to admit publicly, or even seek help, because of the fact that I am a male. The majority of everything I read in regards to BPD says "women with BPD," and "the majority of women diagnosed with BPD," as well as "women that suffer from BPD."
I guess what I'm asking is if there are any guys that know what I'm talking about and have found a way to talk to people about it without feeling like I'm claiming to need help with prenatal care. (I'm honestly not ragging on pregnant women, but I couldn't come up with a better example of something men will never be able to understand empathetically.)
