Borderline Personality Disorder
#2
RE: Borderline Personality Disorder
I don't have it, as far as I know, but I dated a few guys who I'd classify as having it. Just from researching it myself, the 'symptoms' seem to match them, pretty well. Personality disorders are very real and affect a wide range of people. I think they don't get enough visibility, and therefore, they are not treated as real conditions often enough. Narcissistic personality disorder, histrionic disorder, BPD, etc..affect a lot of people in society. Once you understand the disorder, you tend to see patterns in others you may meet that have similar characteristics. In answer to your question in #2, the guys I dated who I suspected had BPD, one was in his late 20's, the other late 30's. Personality disorders usually start in childhood, preteen years, and are hard to treat. Which is why you can meet someone with a personality disorder who's the tender age of 17, and another who is 60. But, at the risk of spiraling off into a tangent, that you have requested we NOT do.... Big Grin

Anyway, so, Creed, you were 'tested' for this? You don't have it, I take. It's hard to pin point these as diagnoses. Do you/your doc/others in your life feel you might have this, and thus that prompted the testing? Just curious on that.
