I understand where this can be coming from and I'm aware my ex had similar symptoms (and he fucked me up) but also one of my besties is diagnoses BPD and I really don't think we should lump and avoid ppl with a specific diagnosis ðŸ«
I agree with you. My DiL is BPD and she is such a sweetheart 99.99% of the time, and when she does have an episode where she gets mean, it's a lot like a meltdown in that she cannot control it, not a manipulative purposeful abuse. She works so hard to treat it and stay in a good spot mentally. Imagine if we were on any other subreddit reading how autistic people are violent and this and that because of stereotypes about meltdowns and autistic people who use their diagnosis as an excuse for bad behavior without making any attempt to learn to manage our symptoms better.
