Yea when I was first diagnosed or I think it was just before, my parents told me not to google it because you know I’d see what other think etc, but being stupid enough I did google it and I honestly was disgusted at what I read, overthinking about who I was/what this disorder makes me, I dissociated a lot wondering if I was never going to seem like my own happy, kind-hearted self to others once they know about the diagnosis and it all went to tit. I still to this day have days where I wish I never had it. But it is a challenge, but I have also accepted that it is part of me now, it makes me who I am.Exactly this. If you Google BPD, you’re made out to be a manipulative, untrustworthy person and that I’m not at all, I struggled to accept my diagnosis of it because when I researched it I hated what I was reading about it and didn’t want people to associate those things with me. It really grinds on me when people like Karina try and use BPD as an excuse for their crappy behaviour.
There may be some who are bad people, but not them all. I definitely will not let random people off the internet AND tiktok make this disorder like the worst one going.
