TangerinePuddle,
My intention was not to belittle those who suffer from BPD. I do not have have disdain for those with BPD. However, I do have complete, total, utter, irrevocable disdain for my AXGF. And respectfully, I have every right to express that disdain within the boundaries of the acceptable posting practices here on SR.
You can do a search through my post history for yourself if you're interested in my story. But I'd be curious to know how you'd react to someone breaking up with you via text message and a picture of that person with their new love. Or how you'd react to someone that admits with glee that they cheated on you multiple times. Or how you'd react getting a text message that contains a photo of the exchange of rings at your ex's wedding. Yeah, I got that last one almost 4 months ago, and it's been nearly two years since we broke up.
There are also things that she did that I can't discuss in this forum that go beyond me simply being hurt badly.
This really isn't the place to discuss whether BPD is a character disorder, but what I will say is my clinician, who is both a CBT/DBT specialist and an addictions specialist, feels BPD is a character disorder. And based on my own reading and research, I concur with that assessment.
