Hey Candydipper1,

I did not realise that a part of BPD stigma involved others not taking the diagnosis seriously, but what you have pointed out makes a lot of sense. And the ways in which things have changed during adulthood have been unexpected, regarding having to avoid disclosing many topics in relation to mental health stuff. People can be judgmental to say the least. But also, I think that a lot of those nurses assume that people are okay if they do not present with a drug problem, or have not recently suffered a loss in their social status or reputation due to harrassment and alike. It is unfortunate. I had a friend who died because of this kind of issue. I keep my fingers crossed that one day I will meet people who share the same beliefs and hold the same values as I do, but I hope that you do as well. 🙂
