For years I have witnessed people with bpd suffer over this subreddit. It is public and claims to be a place to recover from “bpd abuse.” However this subreddit is ableist, abusive and harms young people with bpd. When you google bpd, this subreddit comes up. Imagine being a young person wishing to recover and heal, and seeing this? They will believe they are immediately bad and will be stigmatised for having a mental illness, deterring them from seeking support. 

Statistics show that 10% of people with bpd commit suicide, and it is very hard to treat so people already have a lot of difficulty finding therapy or therapists that will take them on. It is cruel and unjust to subject people who are suffering and in difficulty to this kind of public torment.

Furthermore, bpd or any other personality disorder should not be assigned such morality, especially over personal relationship grievances. It is a trauma disorder, and should be treated as so, not unfairly labelled. This public forum masquerades as an official area to recover from abuse, but it is not and should not be allowed to publish such abusive content.
