Is this the next pussy pass excuse? Borderline Personality Disorder ...

PM_ME_BURNING_FLAGS · 2018-07-29T08:30:42+00:00

Borderline is an actual mental disorder that affects men and women. It can be used as an excuse but, really, everything can be.

dr-jekyll · 2018-07-29T05:16:39+00:00

BPD is a real, recognised disorder in the DSM-V. Let's not ignore the science.

Cthula-Hoops · 2018-07-29T06:47:24+00:00

It's a serious disorder. Women are just good at faking.

I do not like the direction that this sub is heading in. BPD is a serious personality disorder. It is comparable to antisocial personality disorder in men.

I thought most feminist suffered from severe mental illness.

It's just other underlying mental issues not yet addressed.

No, this has nothing to do with being an excuse. My daughter has BPD. It started when she was 11 (she just turned 18) and the past 7 years have been a complete nightmare. In a three year period the police were at our house 26 times, she was involuntarily committed to mental health centers (Baker Act) 13 times (these are 72 hour stays) and we voluntarily placed her in different centers another 12 times. These ranged from a week to 3 months. Now that she's 18 she's on her own we can't force her to do anything and we have serious doubts about her ability to survive until she's 25. And there is nothing we can do about it.

Nothing we tried helped at all. Years of in-patient and out-patient treatment, flying all over the US to get the best treatments available, every medication possible, psychiatrists, psychologists, everythng. We have really good insurance but mental health coverage is terrible so we spent well over $500,000 out of pocket in 7 years. Zero success.

If a person thinks that a legit case of BPD is a "pussy pass" then that person is a moron. And as other comments have pointed out BPD affects men, too. I could (and probably should) write a book.

Too many incels in here.

Strange way to label a garbage human being

eclectro · 2018-07-29T06:11:26+00:00

Actually in my view this is actually not an excuse and is really a good thing. First, there is truly no effective treatment available and therapy is mediocre at best. Secondly, you think you understand bpd, but I can promise you not really until you have dealt with it first hand for years.

But for me acknowledging there is a problem is half the battle. Without it, their shitty behavior becomes justified and unabated with their ready bag of lies. Whereas if they acknowledge the problem it can be a world easier to walk back many problems in the first place.

Tl:dr; We need to get more women successfully diagnosed in the world so there are less pussy-passes granted or denied in the first place, which is truly a Good Thing{tm}.

I've personally known several women with BPD. There is a difference between "because I'm a girl" and "that's okay, I'm shit and going to kill myself because I can't help but fuck up other peoples lives"

Maybe BPD is misdiagnosed, and is actually several other issues that are comorbid. But the "group" of illnesses it encompasses are real.

Fortspucking · 2018-07-29T10:55:43+00:00

This article is aimed at female readers, and therefore takes pains to present the issue in the most flattering and sympathetic light possible, right up to the edge of fiction. I had a male housemate who was a high functioning borderline...only person I could imagine killing. They're really hard to treat and create emotional chaos for anyone close to them, making everyone around them feel guilty and question their reality.

Dreams_In_Digital · 2018-07-29T07:15:23+00:00

Yes.

G_Germzi · 2018-07-29T12:35:52+00:00

In my country (RSA) a personality disorder is used as a diagnosis to warrant treatment. A personality disorder cannot be used to excuse poor behavior.

subbookkeepper · 2018-07-29T06:14:39+00:00

BPD is just someone cranking up the Girl factor to 11.

Seriously look up the symptoms and tell me that's not just normal behaviour from Women turned up.

IDrinkCocoJuice · 2018-07-29T10:00:17+00:00

I have BPD and it's a serious disorder so fuck you : )

2018-07-29T04:57:47+00:00

Next? This has been the excuse since the 1960s.

If there is one thing Scientology is right about, is that psychiatry is pure evil.
