Comments on: NFL star Brandon Marshall is changing the face of borderline personality disorder http://saynotostigma.com/2011/08/nfl-star-brandon-marshall-is-changing-the-face-of-borderline-personality-disorder/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=nfl-star-brandon-marshall-is-changing-the-face-of-borderline-personality-disorder a blog of The Menninger Clinic Thu, 23 May 2013 13:17:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Juliana http://saynotostigma.com/2011/08/nfl-star-brandon-marshall-is-changing-the-face-of-borderline-personality-disorder/comment-page-1/#comment-1647 Juliana Fri, 15 Jun 2012 01:22:28 +0000 http://saynotostigma.com/?p=1339#comment-1647 I appreciate your candor in discussing this difficult to understand illness. Especially given the extra stigma it seems to carry. As hard as it may be for your loved ones to cope with, it is you that carries the diagnosis and must do the primary struggle. Keep up the good work, it takes a lot of courage to talk about it and I am so grateful to you for doing so. Newsweek has a feature story this week about Mary Kennedy who took her life in May as a culmination of years of struggling with the disorder. It was a tragic outcome. Shame keeps it under wraps rather than in treatment. Be well and use your resources to heal. I appreciate your candor in discussing this difficult to understand illness.

Thank you for writing about it. I read an article a few days ago and was hoping it would show up in the saynotostigma blog. I hope that Dr. Yudofsky per Roger Verdon, doesn't continue to tell people, "If you meet a borderline run." (I'm paraphrasing but close to the quote). First Professor Marsha Linehan and now an NFL football player coming out about an illness people used to call "a death sentence" or the most dreaded patients to work with. Marshall is incredibly brave and someone who will have a great impact on the stigma of BPD as Magic Johnson did for HIV/AIDS This is huge. Thank you for writing about it.
