Hey @Daisy16 , 

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. BPD definitely has a bit of a 'stink' to its name. It's unfortunate, and hopefully, in the not-too-distant future, things will change.

In terms of doctors looking at your BPD diagnosis, in a way, I'm grateful they were pretty honest in practically saying BPD cases are beyond their expertise. These are specialists with limited understanding of the diagnosis. As you said, just because someone has BPD, it doesn't mean they are the same as another with BPD.

Through all mu treatments, I have found effective treatment from ones who are sincere, open, and patient with pwBPD traits. It takes a different form of treatment - highly specialised. I believe it is about raising awareness that BPD is treatable and success rates are undoubtable. Hence we need to band together to support this work. It needs all of us to make a difference.

I totally understand your frustration and where you are coming from @Daisy16 .
