MAKE BPD STIGMA-FREE! 
Funny, this week I have come to realise that since finding out I suffer from BPD I have totally bought into my label and use it to define me. I was so much more than my disorder and plan to be so much more again. It is helpful to have been able to gain awareness of the reasons why I have such extremes and therefore know the battle I am fighting and the weapons I need such as DBT skills etc but hiding behind the label I suspect is a common tendency among many. I suppose again it is a matter of balance…understand the problem without becoming it.
