  I don’t know if that’s true, but medicalizing behavior is the fast track to demonizing the millions of people who have the conditions without being a shitty person.

    You usually don’t get diagnosed with a severe condition like this unless you have been doing a lot of shitty things. BPD isn’t like ADHD. BPD is a medley of other disorders that can even include things like ADHD. In a lot of BPD people, for example, treating their ADHD can help their other symptoms.

      I’m sure that it can. But don’t spread lies, bpd and bipolar is usually discovered through manic and/or depressive episodes. I had a manic episode that led to a psychotic break, and managed not to abuse anyone. These conditions are discovered through terrifying and difficult situations, not shitty behavior.

        This doesn’t sound anything like BPD. If I were you I’d get a second opinion and also look into some alternatives that could be causing it. Other medical conditions like gut issues or blood sugar issues can lead to things like this.

  It looks like you’re right. It’s an old book. I read it like 8 years ago. What other books would be better?
