Is Boderline Personality Disorder the ADD for adults? It seems you can't describe someone who creates drama without having some commented diagnose them with BPD.

[friend_of_tofu]

No idea, but I'm an adult with ADHD, so it can work for us to. And the direct association with "drama" is glibly annoying.

[noveldevice]

Oh my god, you're so dramatic!

:D

I think *any* Diagnosis Via Internet is bad form.

[friend_of_tofu]

Totally.

[noveldevice]

I feel very capable of diagnosing stupidity via internet. :)

[catalyticdragon]

Yes, but the symptoms are clearer with that. =P

[noveldevice]

Very true. :)

[teal_cuttlefish]

Especially based on someone else's description. I kinda chewed on the diagnoser.

[misslynx]

I've noticed it seems to be an inevitable refrain any time someone is being manipulative, possessive and drama-prone. And maybe some of the time it's actually true, but diagnosis of psychological problems via Internet is rarely a good idea.

(BTW, another AD[H]D adult here. Diagnosed by an actual doctor, thanks.)

If everyone that was ever a drama queen had BPD, the whole damn country would be on pharmaceuticals.

I had a former partner once try to convince me that I suffered from a "mild" case of Asperger's. This despite the fact that I am not clumsy, communicate fairly well, and do not display any obsessive behavior or compulsions. It's now a running joke in my new household. Some days, I just don't understand complex social behavior and interactions because my Asperger's is acting up. :-)

there are no pharmaceuticals indicated for BPD.

Which is not to say that 30 word internet diagnoses are right or anything, just a fun fact. ;)

When you've been involved with a borderline, you tend to see them everywhere for awhile (sometimes a long while).

[lemur_lady]

A-freakin'-men to that.

[strixluna]

Yeah, it seems to be the sad result of escaping :(

[omimouse]

Yeah, I tend to think of it as my hind-brain screaming huge honking red-alerts at anything and everything that looks even remotely like what I got away from.
