How to identify Border Line Personality Disorder in a Relationship.

@AntisocialTroll Exactly. I went through therapy and was originally misdiagnosed with BPD because I displayed most of the actual symptoms at the time, and none of these were it. At all. I'm thinking he might mean antisocial personality disorder (FKA sociopathy), but even then, he missed the mark on that too. BPD is so heavily stigmatized that posts like this don't even shock me anymore.

@AntisocialTroll Must be a depressed Moody BPD. Lack of Charachter that in Medical terms is known as Lack of Object constancy is the most key fundamental indicator of BPD. So clearly the Dr is dumb.

@BigAssLeech So, what was your condition?. BPD is usually comordbid with other things like Psycopathy and NPD, its not just BPD. You can call it what you want. So, Drs always get it wrong, because these are cluster disorders.

@johntomSWPhd Pick up a copy of the DSM-5 and read it, please.

@BigAssLeech I have read a lot about it.Are you saying the lack of Object constancy is not symptomatic of BPD?.

@johntomSWPhd Nope not at all, I think you are confusing a different PD with BPD because you are so very wrong and ignorant for thinking you are more qualified to diagnose BPD than a Dr is...

@johntomSWPhd A symptom of BPD is a severe fear of abandonment. That's one of the main ones. Lack of object permanence and constancy can tie into that for certain individuals, but that's usually not the case. Also, people diagnosed with BPD feel extremely intense emotions and have mood swings. Psychopaths and sociopaths cannot do that, because their emotional depth is extremely shallow. So BPD cannot be comorbid with psychopathy.

@AntisocialTroll Nope, not confusing anything. Doctors are not Gods, they are usually the most dumbest people in the world.The guy below has commented how he was misdiagnosed.I can give you N number of cases where Doctors have botched up big time.

@BigAssLeech Psycopathy is just BPD comorbid NPD, you can call it whatever you want. Fear of abandonment is not BPD, lol.Thats just fear of Abandonment.

@johntomSWPhd I don't disagree that Dr's sometimes misdiagnose but you are wrong about the symptoms of BPD, what you describe is often found in people with either NPD or ASPD and SPD NOT BPD.

@johntomSWPhd I wasn't misdiagnosed because my therapist was dumb. I was misdiagnosed because of all of the symptoms I had going on at the time aligned with BPD. I was later diagnosed with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety. I was in a toxic, unstable, codependent relationship during my time in therapy, and that played a huge part in my fear of abandonment and mood swings. The same therapist corrected himself.
