I know this is not gonna make me look good, but I think most people with BPD are not only aware and seeking treatment for it, but also strong advocates for negating the stigma around mental health, all things on the surface that seem very positive, progressive and constructive.

The girl I was with was still doing coke most nights a week, while going to therapy for her childhood abuse, telling me her doctor was annoyed she was living that drug fuelled lifestyle but assuring me she had a plan to safely ween off and that she essentially knew herself better than the doctor- while still telling me I should be always honest with my doctor and listen to their advice and getting all "your mental health is very important" on me. When I expressed my concern about the drug use, bam, straight to the excuses and justifications and the "no offence but you haven't been been through what I've been through so you've got no room to talk" type stuff as well as lecturing me on how recreational drugs aren't as dangerous as the media makes them out to be, which is technically true

You can get super stuck and trapped with this shit and it can happen almost straight away because they have genuinely been through horrible shit and can be super intriguing individuals
