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. :/
