I have a theory, BPD = Autism + PTSD
Once you address them separately, they realise problem behaviours that fall under A) don’t need changing, “it’s just me” for the most part, and B) can be improved if the trauma(s) is/are addressed therapeutically by a professional, ignoring BPD diagnosis bs, and using trad PTSD techniques.
This is because PTSD is far more diagnosed in men, so it is “fixable”, and medical professionals have generally no fucking clue about Autism presentation in women, so they’re under-diagnosed, probably just mentally ill / fucked, ie. BPD.
Generally, I would compare mental illness to the personality theory of temperament (in this case flavour of neurodiversity) + experience, but psychology is insanity so.
This may all be bullshit, just anecdotal

She’s disordered, but it’s the man’s fault. Typical.
Looks like the He-Man Woman Hater's Club found Lemmy.

You hear about the guy with 5 dicks? His condom fit like a glove.
Johnny 5 cocks? The X-men mutant?

The bad part is, as soon as you discover this cabinet, 3 of her personalities are behind you with a knife.
Ah the multiple personality serial killer trope. Classic, fallacious, and not the least bit problematic.

*She can fix herself, given the internal motivation, a stable environment, and a whole lotta patience and earned trust
Source: gf has BPD and I'm really proud of her
You're good people

The crazy girls being better at sex thing always confused me. I vaguely understand that correlation but like… it holds so true. What is it about bpd that makes you bang so good?
From personsl experience: it's not worth it.
Swap pronouns were applicable.
You'll be so exhausted from her meltdowns, manipulation, and the constant repairs (literal and figurative) from her poor life choices that you won't have the time or energy for sex. Then she'll cheat on you with your gross scumbag neighbor who was old enough to be her father because she jumped to the conclusion that you did't want her anymore and she wanted revenge.
She'll then proceed to run off with one your friends. But not before explaining how it's probably just temporary and the relationship will be stronger than ever when she comes back. So stay single. Oh, can you keep her cat for now? He doesn't have room in his parent's apartment that she's moving into the day after fucking him for the first time.
My early 20s were trash. She ended up completing suicide a week before my wedding in 2012. Myself, I was so fucked up by that relationship I now live with chronic anhedonia and alexithymia. It literally broke my brain.

Can't it be kept in check with meds?
It's a trauma disorder so medication is really only fighting the symptoms. It can be healed tho. Not everyone with BPD projects it outwardly either and not all that do are abusive.

I think this as well, though I have no formal training in psychology. My perspective comes from a lifelong interest in learning across fields and from having several family members who struggled with mental health, often dismissed as hysterical, crazy, over-emotional, or immature. Decades later, many of them received diagnoses of comorbid autism and CPTSD. I believe that within the next 5–10 years, assuming the DSM can be inured against political editorialization, autism diagnoses will be further refined and the spectrum will become more granular and specific.

I'm diagnosed with BPD and met (quite some) other people who were diagnosed over the years. I think your theory is bullshit – but not in a rude way, it just doesn't fit what I know about BPD and the women diagnosed with BPD I got to know.

Modern treatment methods often follow a bio-psychological or bio-psycho-social model. This is a oversimplification, but BPD is usually a biological/genetic predisposition to be more emotional + bad experiences in your childhood, leading to strong negative emotions and the lack of mechanisms to regulate those emotions, which cumulates in impulsivity, unhealthy coping mechanisms etc later on.
There's overlap with the vague concept of hypersensitivity and ADHD; there's differential diagnosis too, which is "hey, this can be similar to that, let's diagnose properly before we do anything"; and there's comorbidity.
I agree that trauma plays a big role, and I would go so far as to claim every BPD person is traumatized in a way that justifies therapy, but PTSD is a specific diagnosis, just like autism is.

Doesn't fit because the symptoms of BPD, PTSD and authism are very different, even the causes are very different.

Can't find the study anymore but women with traits associated with BPD seem to be perceived as more attractive for men. I think it was in Psychology Today. Very interesting.

My personal experience is that doctors and institutions (ie. hospital, work, university) are just far more friendly towards the dual diagnosis. ASD is treated as, I don’t necessarily accept “disability”, but special circumstances, and is generally well catered for given enough back and forth with the correct departments. And PTSD is quite favourably treated as things that happened to you rather than because of you, which it always feels is kind of the assumption once people hear the BPD diagnosis.

I'm immune to this, I only find it irritating and annoying. Which seems to be rather rare. I guess I miss something most men have. But I'm glad because I've seen the scorched earth manic pixie dream girls leave behind numerous times...

Same here. She really, really loved me, in her way, and I love(d) her. Closest I've had yet to something long-term sustainable. But was it tho? She compared me to Jesus and called me a sex god. She drew my penis as art. Touched me constantly. Said I looked and smelled like a French king (it was well-intentioned). Really took an interest in my hobbies--to the point that they became her hobbies and it became a lot. We were really, really close. I ended up having to call the police on her when she finally confessed to the cheating and it ended. She shaved her head and moved to Indonesia. As with the highs, so with the lows.
Damn you can just up and move to Indonesia like that?

wrote last edited by [email protected]So like, stigmatization even from professionals? Yeah I can see that. It's absolutely not what I experienced so far, quite the opposite; but I haven't been to each and every psych ward in my country haha.
Maybe I just didn't like your phrasing? Because it's different if you straight up say: The diagnosis and treatment in psychiatry is flawed and still has a long way to go; if you personally suffer from BPD and don't get the treatment you know you need, get diagnosed with ASD and PTSD to get proper treatment; directly addressing the problems of an established diagnosis and treatment system which is only very sluggishly changing.
edit: if you're interested in this kind of stuff, search for "OPD-3", it tries to address the rigidity problem the ICD-10 and DSM-5 have

Yes but have you considered that some people who need help are inconvenient and so need to be pujished?
