hmmm, that sort of tracks, I’m guessing they used the MMPI which is, decent. I’d still wonder if they completely ruled out complex trauma, complex ptsd and the like, MOST treatment providers won’t
I guess the real question is how you feel about these diagnosis. Do they help you in the path to treatment?
well me, I have exceedingly complicated feelings about that particular diagnosis, and I’ve had the BPD part tried to stick to me a few times (though there are significant reasons I have to doubt it) so…. I’m not sure how to feel about you specifically getting it. It’s partial comfort I guess, because it’s supposed to be somewhat rare, for whatever reason I run into it more than average. Sad though, I haven’t seen a story involving BPD end “well” by traditional definitions, and I really despise the attitude many have towards it.
Thanks for sharing. i had to look up the terms. i learned some things about myself and emotional attachment or my lack thereof.
seems like with everything else in the world where humans are concerned – BPD with ASPD traits is a broad spectrum. everybody is different.
i read that one can learn cognitive empathy, emotional regulation, and how to have better relationships with others. also found many articles about how to have a relationship with folks that have BPD or ASPD traits.
saw on reddit a youtuber that is highly recommended-Prof. Sam Vaknin. i personally really liked the articles on pyschcentral.com and verywellmind.com they helped me understand some aspects of my personality and gave me hope.
ngl. i reallllllllly wish the hope was not there. i am always disappointed.

I don’t feel any particular way about it. I care more about how other people might think.
