As someone who has been stalked, physically abused, verbally abused, emotionally abused and deeply manipulated by my two BPD exes? "Crazy bitch disorder" is putting it mildly. I don't care if your brain makes you do it. My brain makes me non-functional in many ways, too. I take medication for it, I go to therapy and I don't fucking use people as punching bags.

IA. I have two family members who have it, and they have caused all kinds of trauma in our lives and ruined their kids' lives before they ever began. They can fuck right off.

I have PTSD, OCD, and depression, have been on meds and in therapy for 8 years, and I still have bad periods, but my motto for life has always been, "Contain your shit." I have no right to make my problems other people's problems. In fact, I have an obligation as a member of society to do my best to keep that from happening, and to get the help I need to be a decent human being to the people around me. People with untreated BPD fundamentally fail at containing their shit, and their issues are typically massive and extremely destructive to everyone around them.

If someone with BPD is in treatment? I wish them well and godspeed. If they're not? The rest of us would be better off if they were quarantined.

+100000 to all of this. I had a friend with BPD. I was lucky, and listened to the little cautionary voice in my brain suggesting I keep this friend at arms length, so when out friendship crashed and burned it only messed me up a little bit. But even having had that little bit of experience with BPD, I basically can't imagine what it must be like for people who have close family members with the disorder.

+1. My experience with BPD people has been that they're fucking nightmares that damage everyone around them, even if they don't intend to. I've never met one that wasn't horrible and destructive.

My only issue with this in the context of the above comments is that if people are using terms like "crazy bitch disorder" to characterize BPD in general, and not people who aren't seeking help, then that's a problem. I have depression which if left untreated makes it very difficult for me to be rational about interpersonal interactions and basically makes me miserable and everyone around me miserable too, so I medicate it. But even after going on medications and being on them for years and going to therapy my brother still used my mental illness as a low blow when we were arguing about things, pulling it out and saying things like "well you're crazy so of course you would do that" in complete seriousness and it made me feel like utter shit.

There's a difference between being dealt a bad hand and throwing your cards around the room in a tantrum, and being dealt a bad hand and trying really hard to make the best of it. The latter group doesn't deserve to be smeared and made fun of.

ETA: okay, I did a big brain fart and thought the BPD here was being used to refer to bipolar. It being borderline changes it a little bit for me, and makes the comments in opposition a little more understandable - though again if someone is 100% trying their hardest to not hurt people around them, seek help, get therapy, be on meds, and be completely self-aware of their problem, I'm still not down with calling them names. :/

+1, I have someone with BPD in my family and it's a fucking nightmare. I know part of the disorder is refusing to believe you have a problem and everyone else has a problem but for fuck's sake, you are hurting people and you won't stop!

Exactly! There's no pills/cure for "being a major fucking asshole". >:(
