It’s really nice of you to discuss this disorder in a kind an understanding way. I, personally, encountered someone whose girlfriend possibly had BPD, and she caused a lot of harm to my friend (and I think she is still going at it). It’s Hell for sure. I’m glad I didn’t get involved in a friendship with her as I don’t think I would be able to get out of this friendship emotionally healthy. I don’t stigmatize this illness, but I bet the biggest problem is that many people refuse to seek mental and psychiatric help.
