sometimes think I might have bpd but that's the disorder my biomom used to armchair-diagnose me with to shut me up every time I talked about gender dysphoria so I'm kinda hostile to the idea

lmao yeah that makes sense. I have a lot of personal skepticism about most of these tentpoles nowadays and have apprehensions about the degree to which they can be abused to emotionally extort loved ones

The fact that BPD was an Axis II personality disorder (i.e. an "incurable" and permanent feature of who the person is) meant that it was an easy way to basically put "DON'T EVEN BOTHER" in someone's patient history This problem is why the latest DSM has abolished the axes

Most of the discourse around BPD right now is over whether or not it's actually separate from PTSD, and whether calling it a "personality disorder" is just a way to blame lifelong sufferers of abuse for their symptoms
