It doesnt happen. Some people have traits that seem to fit this made up mental disorder. The traits that form BOD are extremely common and fundamentally human. And if you believe it exists you’re going to be looking for confirmation that somebody has it. Just to use an example from girl interrupted, you know how you will physically see flashes of things that you think about a lot in your vision? Susanna talks about how when she was first institutionalized she took that as confirmation that she had BPD (which she wasn’t shown the criteria for at the time) and that she was going crazy like the evaluators were trying to tell her. It’s definitely worth a read.
I fit the criteria for BPD perfectly but I am morally against seeing psychiatrists or therapists do I don’t have a diagnosis, and I would refuse a diagnosis because it’s not a real disorder
maybe but they definitely did not react proportionally to stuff at all… im wrll aware of the evils of psychiatry but i feel like when someone describes having no control and having violent reactions to even imagined scenarios its at the least not a healthy behaviour for themselves or those around them
