I guess it would just be nice if the technical terms to help me describe how I want to crawl into a hole and cry

didn't stir up a bunch of frustration at #BPDStigma, which ALSO makes me want to crawl into a hole and cry.

Started BC I looked up some articles to remember the word "idealization"

read a big piece about #BPD #FavoritePeople mostly geared toward non-BPD peeps.

A lot of advice was solid! Boundaries! Communication! Don't be the only 1!

But I didn't feel like the article stressed enough: we aren't inherently manipulative monsters just BC we have BPD.

The whole article is tainted by #BPDStigma, BC most clinical words for our situation are tainted by pathologizing us.

Can't unravel.

Yeah yeah, I know,

"You don't get me" opines the #BPD person. 🙄

Just STFU and lemme lament.

I think a ton of language used around our existence as BPD people was inherently shaped by pathologizing us and making some blanket assumptions.

And that's not really news, just another facet of #BPDStigma we all get to "enjoy" /s

Like, if compassion for us were being considered, we'd be regarded as people who have a "trauma disorder," not a "personality disorder."
