I am just so curious about what a psychologist/psychiatrist would think about this subreddit, because I strongly relate to almost every post (!!)  and I’ve noticed the clinical definitions and perception of BPD are so far off from the things I’ve read here. Its possible every person here is just the “quiet borderline,” self-aware types, OR bpd is just SO wildly mischaracterized and misunderstood, even beyond the regular “stigmatization.”
 
I wouldn’t say that the clinical definition/symptoms etc. are wrong, I just think all the really well thought-out posts have been so much more accurate in describing the actual thought processes and what it all really feeels like. 

I’ve gotten so much from this subreddit, *I’ve just always wanted to know if others could actually get as much from it, or think any differently about bpd. 




*not to mention how so many of the odd traits/thoughts/experiences that I always assumed were completely separate from BPD, now seem to be much more relevant if not causal (and still have not been defined or studied on any official basis)
