What makes you think BPD is there?

What makes me think BPD is *where*? Holly proposed it as a
**hypothetical** situation.

Don't you know how to play, John? Or are you fundamentally opposed to
that?

That's assuming of course that BPD

refers to something. But it doesn't, does it. It's simply a social
perception. Get on the ball missus.

BPD may be, to some extent, a social construct. But so what? The
constellation of signs & symptoms are painful to the individual (and
people who interact with him/her) and are therefore deserving of
treatment if the person so desires.

I know you're opposed to psychiatry and meds, but are you also opposed
to people seeking psychological help for emotional distress?

BPD is "symptoms" of what? BPD?

I don't think you know what "help" is in a psychological context. It
just sounds good.

Nice set of choices, lol. Either way, it seems you would create a lot
of misery for yourself and others. I think I would pick BPD, though,
because I am too lazy to stalk people and rifle through their things
looking for suspicious "clues." Also, with BPD, there's a minor chance
people would consider you charming and tolerable at least *part* of
the time (maybe less likely for a paranoid-type disorder), and
slightly less likelihood that your negative behavior would land you in
jail or the graveyard.

Then again, maybe I'd just wait for the vending machine to be
restocked.

That would be the better choice, but I was interested in another's
perception on the matter. My answer would be different as long as I
could control the onset and the severity. BPD is life long whereas DD
jealous type generally happens after fifty and has been known to be
treated successfully, even to be short-lived.

Silly little bedpan slinger that I am, this 'jealous type generally
happens after fifty' is NEWS to me.
I guess 'sibling rivalry' is no longer considered a 'jealous type of
behavior'.
I have to ask which groups were sampled and were they then divided into
subgroups based on religion, politics,
sexual preference and all the other mentioned in the politically correct
realm.

And for those who believe in the Oedipus/Electra Complex, what about
those two ideas being the first indication of 'jealously'?
Or are you answers based on the BPD/onset of jealously?

My 2 cents on the BPD. Is it correctly dx'd? Did the client leave out
information during the test which would show a vastly different dx.
Such as drug usage, type etc. What were the major stressors during the
time of the test?

Here's an article on BPD that includes a list of signs and symptoms.
So BPD is a symptom of BPD.
