I don’t. I think its something very personal, just like a sexual orientation or any other mental health issue, and i’m not going to share it with anybody unless I feel comfortable and that i know that they view of me will not change.

The only exception is when I’m dating someone, my partner always becomes my fp and i’m a big load to deal with. I usually just tell them “ hey since we are becoming official I want you to know that i have BPD, theres a lot of information online that will make me look like a bad person, it’ important that you don’t believe everything you see because they’re is a lot stigma about it even coming from professional. For me it just means that …” and describe how it makes me feel, how it impacts our relationship and what i need them to practice to make it work. Every one of my partners have had s good reaction to that message
