Amy_D Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 My psychiatrist says I don't have BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder.) I guess that's a good thing but he does say I have traits. I'm working to reduce those traits but they creep up from time to time. Right now, I'm feeling somewhat fragmented, meaning I'm flying through different personalities and not fully fleshed out in any of them. This might be a hard concept for someone who isn't familiar with BPD to understand so I'll explain. I don't have dissociative disorder which means you have different personalities and think you are different people. I'm always me, I always have the same name and the same memories and dress the same. But sometimes my POV changes rapidly depending upon my mood. For example, I could be strong and a bit confrontational then change to fragile and fear everything. Nobody can see these changes I keep it under control but I can feel the switch. Does anyone else have experience with this type of behavior?
Emilia Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Does anyone else have experience with this type of behavior? Everyone in the whole wide world. Everyone exhibits traits. BPDers are those who cannot control a significant number of these traits and they have no rational control over them. It's a spectrum disorder, basically.

BPDers are those who cannot control a significant number of these traits and they have no rational control over them. It's a spectrum disorder, basically. I've become an authority on the diagnosis. There are some traits that I don't have but I have enough of the traits that it interferes with my life.
