gettinbetter.com's pages on BPD

In genral I have found that everything online about Borderline Personality Disorder is geared towards people who care about someone with BPD. It drives me insane because they consistently shit on us, make us look like we are not human, and that we don't want to change. I literally have searched for hours upon hours through Google just to find one article that is truly geared towards a person with BPD helping themselves. I don't understand why their is so much support for people who have to deal with people with BPD, but very little support for people who actually do have it. I've lost everything I've ever cared about, and I'm only 17. I got diagnosed officially in the last week after being unofficially diagnosed for a couple years by my regular doctor, who recommended I see a psychiatrist to get officially diagnosed and learn to deal with it. I finally stopped dragging my feet and went to a psych about a week ago and she diagnosed me within an hour of hearing my life story. She said mine is one of the more extreme cases she had seen, but was surprised I hadn't mutilated myself (I hate the sight of blood) but unsurprised I had tried to kill myself once and thought about it a bunch of other times. I just want to a better person for the people that care about me, and I want to be a better person for myself. I want to improve, but there is so much stigma surrounding this and I just want to do the most that I can to improve. That will include a treatment plan that my psychiatrist is setting up, and I want to do whatever I can by learning about the disorder itself. However, it's so hard to find articles dedicated to actually helping yourself with BPD. Everyone is so against us that every article under the first ten Pages of Google were of no help to me and were geared towards family and friends of a person with BPD. This is already driving me crazy, and I haven't told anyone of it other than my mom, who found the doctor after I said I need to figure out what this really is. It truly is discouraging to see so much hate about something that so many people can't understand.
