I just feel defensive for people with bpd because I often see harmful, slanderous talk about them, rather than helpful language for their recovery. I know a lot of borderlines, and I know getting them to accept help, just like schizophrenics, goes a very long way to them building happier, manageable lives. Narcissism i canāt speak to, though.

A borderline who seeks and accepts treatment is very different from one who refuses treatment, refuses to accept the diagnosis, and refuses to believe they ever do anything wrong. BPD is one of the most treatable MIs, if the person is willing to work to get better.
My words reflect my experiences of 49 years of emotional abuse from one specific person.

@Wave Honestly if I didnāt have sz I would have lived on my own to avoid that brother. He doesnāt want to leave our parentsās house either so I am stuck with him for a long time because of my sz.

I donāt like drama either @Wave . My dad is really good in this department but my mom occasionally gets on a drama kickā¦a lot of the times related to stuff going on about Facebook related things with the family/friends. One of the reasons I am not a big fan of Facebook.
I recently reopened a facebook account to contact a few old friends but I am hesitating to actually friend family and friends because I donāt want to open that can of worms of drama. I currently have no one friended on my account 
. Just sent out a few messages.

My mean and nasty brother raged out at me on the phone because I told him that I thought his house was too small and that he over paid for his house.
They were my honest opinions but he was fuming and lashed out at me, calling me names like retarted, narcissist, sociopath, he said that I ruined his childhood and that all of these years being on psych meds have shrunk my brain down.
Honestly I should have been more careful with my words but I didnāt deserve all of this venom and hurtful bile coming from him.
He also said that I was dumb and lost my intelligence a long time ago.
Maybe subconsciously I was trying to piss him off, I donāt know.
He is a pathetic mess.
To be honest I got a kick out of it.
Reminder to my self: Never disagree with a narcissist
I donāt think itās fair to typify all people with borderline personality disorder as being the same.
@John_Raven just to reassure you, I know someone with borderline and they are not at all as discussed here. There are exceptions to the rule
Donāt go feeling bad about who you are

Yes i didnāt mean to imply that all those people afflicted with borderline are terrible humans.
Like I said before every one is different and there are certainly exceptions.
Please donāt feel bad about yourself @John_Raven
Itās just that I personally experienced abuse from my ex wife who has borderline and my brother.
Maybe they are just terrible human beings separate from their illness.
I donāt know.
My apologies again.

People with schizoprenia are usually terrible people in an episode.
dont forget that, we also cause pain and suffering but we dont realize it
Emotional affect might make if harder to recognize emotional needs
But overall people with sz are cool

I was diagnosed with bpd when I was a young woman, in my 30ās and early 40ās. But by the time I had reached my early 50ās, I had grown out of it, according to my pdoc. And I had never received any therapy for it.
