these bpd memes are spicy

@georgia what's a bpd?

@methyltheobromine borderline personality disorder, the memes are like sad tumblr teenage girl adjacent, very dramatic and kinda fucked up, like here are some tamer representative examples exhibiting features of BPD

@georgia ("I want to die useful" should be "I want to die usefully" smh) anyway yeah it's cringe but somewhat amusing in a morbid kind of way

@shibao @methyltheobromine stay away from BPD women i don't think they can love in a healthy way

@shmibs @methyltheobromine @shibao damn i'm sorry

@vriska @shibao @methyltheobromine ah you're right i apologize i shouldn't look at bpd content it's 100% stereotype fuel

@vriska @shibao @methyltheobromine no you're entirely right, i have always just treated PDs as separate because classically they are incurable

@vriska @shibao @methyltheobromine sorting through their memes has been equally fun and traumatizing

@nik @shmibs @methyltheobromine @shibao sorry i'm stupid

@vriska @shibao @methyltheobromine well yeah they mean impossible to treat with their medicine

@shibao @methyltheobromine a lot of pysch disorders are like this. PDs cluster so do autism, depression, ADD

@vriska @shibao @methyltheobromine it's more than that, there are plenty of non lobotomizing psych meds except maybe for psychosis, but BPD has no nuerochemical palliative so it is assumed to be integral to a person. now BPD i've always seen as "safe" except for like relationships because the primary harm is to themselves. but i'm curious how you feel about NPD or sociopathy.

@rikkatakarada @methyltheobromine i left out the really masochistic stuff but if you want here's the page

big cw besides like guro which i guess can be considered aesthetic there are actual self harm photos here

@vriska @shibao @methyltheobromine PDs in particular have a huge nature component, they are equally or more heritable than "normal" mental disorders. it's such a common story that people with them grow up, have an abusive parent, and then hit a certain age where PDs manifest clinically and become the person they never wanted to be. PTSD is caused by experience and bipolar is a chemical abnormality not part of the personality. i think it's entirely fair to view them as more innate and intractable that other conditions, what i shouldn't have done was be so unilateral/fatalistic about it or issuing ethical value judgements about something that primarily harms the self. i don't know enough adults with BPD because every case i have come across personality it has seemed impossible for them to form close relationships normally and they were older teenagers and young adults

@vriska @shibao @methyltheobromine while i tend to agree in practice most people haven't tempered themselves to this degree and so i would advise people not familiar with certain PDs and how they manifest to steer clear from romantic involvement for self care reasons. i see i've upset you so i'll stop arguing about this.

@yakmacker @methyltheobromine @shibao @vriska that's not a personality disorder but also heritable yeah
