View of diagnosis from the persepctive of people with bpd

"Some of us find it useful to have a diagnosis because we feel it explains and helps us to understand our difficulties, or gives us a sense of relief and validation. It may also be helpful for accessing treatment or support. Or to put a name to our experiences and connect with others." Mind

"On the other hand, some of us don’t find our diagnosis helpful. We may find it stigmatising and feel it suggests that there’s something wrong with who we are. It can also sometimes be a barrier to getting the support we need."

Some studies point to two types of BPD in regards to their interpersonal relationships. Some People with BPD tend to move quickly between relationships described in at least one case as "butterfly-like". Other individuals would instead cling closely to very few relationships, becoming reliant on fewer people than those without BPD.
