Oh I see, so one person does that and all of a sudden all people with that diagnosis are tarred with the same brush.
I am oh so tempted to ask what you have been diagnosed with so I can return the compliment.
> "There is also emotional instability with marked and frequent shifts to an empty lonely depression or to irritability and anxiety. There may be unpredictable and impulsive behavior which might include excessive spending, promiscuity, gambling, drug or alcohol abuse, shoplifting, overeating or physically self-damaging actions such as suicide gestures. The person may show inappropriate and intense anger or rage with temper tantrums, constant brooding and resentment, feelings of deprivation, and a loss of control or fear of loss of control over angry feelings. There are also identity disturbances with confusion and uncertainty about self-identity, sexuality, life goals and values, career choices, friendships. There is a deep-seated feeling that one is flawed, defective, damaged or bad in some way, with a tendency to go to extremes in thinking, feeling or behavior. Under extreme stress or in severe cases there can be brief psychotic episodes with loss of contact with reality or bizarre behavior or symptoms."
And what, you think I haven't seen that before?
> Hard to communicate with, or trust someone with such severe symptoms -- in my opinion.
Well I find it hard to trust or communicate with someone who is expressing such a judgemental attitude as yourself - in my opinion.
