I got diagnosed and started treatment a few months ago and haven't told a single soul; didn't plan on it either. 

A friend who I've known for a few years (and who has definitely seen me in some dark spaces) and I got on the topic of Cluster Bs. He made some joke about how I have a lot of Cluster B traits and I was just like "fuck it" and told him I recently entered treatment for BPD. 

He was so...accepting. Said he's not really surprised and pointed out the traits he saw, asked some general questions about my treatment, congratulated me for working to get better, told me to stop drinking so much since he read Cluster B people have issues with addiction, and then we just kept talking normally. 

I can't even believe it. Someone just accepted me for who I am?! Someone who knows about BPD and how "terrible" it can be? I'm in a bit of shock but feeling really...nice. I was really afraid I'd scare people away or be alone forever or something, idk. I sent him a nice text thanking him for being accepting and that it meant a lot, and he told me not to worry about it because he knows I went through a lot growing up. T___T

Now he's my FP and I love him. jk jk, let's not ruin a good thing. It was nice and unexpected and I wanted to share.
