I've encountered a pretty dangerous person, but they didn't take medicines as they should and a lot of people were affected including me. But yes you are human and as long as people can control things and take meds as needed there is no need of avoidance.
I've also met people who can manage it well and live their lives as normal as they can with help from what they need, so yeah don't let a few people shed bad light or be judgemental.
And yeah that video sounds pretty stupid, I don't think it's doing much for understanding :/

I don't have BPD, but from what I know, it certainly doesn't deserve the stigma surrounding it. People with BPD (as with any other mental or physical condition) deserve respect and compassion. Yes, there are some bad people with it, but there are also bad people who are left-handed or wear glasses...or wear pants! We don't let those blur our judgments, so why let a few bad apples spoil the bunch?
I'm glad you opened up and hope you are doing well.

i am a bit late to this post, but i wanted to thank you for making a safe space.
i am only 17, so legally i cannot be diagnosed with BPD. however, i do consider myself to struggle with its symptoms. it was worse in the past. luckily, me and my therapist were able to treat it well together so it doesn't develop into the full disorder when im an adult. but its still not guaranteed that i wont be diagnosed with it either.
in my short experience BPD is extremely misunderstood, even by the people who have it themselves. its very hard to have such intense emotions and then be shamed for them. ive always been considered too sensitive, too emotional, too delicate. i never thought it was fair.
i also believe the disorder kept me in a toxic relationship and even fed into it. it sucks, i really dont like to recall all the negative ways it has effected me. but i hope my journey ends with recovery and healing. again, thank you for making this post. so helpful. sending you love <3
id also like to add that i can relate to what you're going through. i tend to have self-destructive tendencies. at some points this involved purposely hurting the people i loved. its not safe for anyone involved. it feels like you're trapped in decisions you don't want to make.
i hope things go well with you and your friend, and you're able to figure this all out soon.

As a person who was diagnosed with BPD at 16 in Canada. maybe only Canadians can be diagnosed as adolescents
I felt feelings like jealously very strongly, deep sadness displayed as depression, euphoria, and internal anger. Although, I had moments of being extroverted around people whom I was comfortable with, I would still say I was/am introverted.
Borderline Personality Disorder is refered to a person who has a personality bordering a psychotic disorder.
See the graph below
As you can see, BPD could possibly develop into another much more severe disorder. I developed Schitzoaffective
I believe mental health is another spectrum in which needs to be educated upon the adolescents and adults in order to silence the worries surrounding the stigma that even @Croconaw has expressed in their post.
Personally, I think if we were all the same there would be no one special. Diagnosis like these keep our world turning. ♡
I highly recommend reading the book, 'I Hate You, Don't Leave Me'.
And the movie, 'Girl Interrupted'. (Main Character Has BPD)
Both of these suggestions reference the disorder in a clear way without stigma or harsh interpretation. On the contrary, this label is quite interesting to educate on and more common than one would think.
