good choices have been emptied out.  You must have one to enter this
earthly plane.  Which would you prefer to have and why?

I don't think God, heaven or nature would have any use for man-made
mental categories and inventions like "mental health" and "mental
illness".

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.

What makes you think BPD is there?

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

"Get on the ball"???

Exactly what does this mean, it appears to be solely your private
perception.

How would these 'illnesses' or whatever way you perceive them, be a
choice if, like you implied, it is a social perception

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?
