I was reading about borderline last night and came across a site that says some things about regions in the brain. It didn't exactly say how or if it was related to borderline, but it mentioned that there's an excess blood flow in the pthyolomus (or something like that heh) region on the right side of the brain, that's responsible for panic, agoraphobia etc. I've mentioned to people several times that I have this weird feeling on the right side of my head, sort of above the neck. It's not painful, necessarily, but uncomfortable, almost like blood is leaking or it's twitching or something. does anyone know anything about this?
And BTW Else, I think there might be something to your theory that ADD in women is dxd BPD because something like 80% of BPD's are women. Wouldn't that make it one of two mental disorders (or w/e) that's much more prevalent among one sex? The other being ADD (which is more prevalent among men) A HEM. And like you mentioned, the fact that women and men express/feel etc. so differently would make it seem like maybe it's the same thing, but just looks different.
