Re: Suggested Group Therapy and Could I have BPD?

BPD is a really difficult label to figure out. I agree with what Larry said... it's not really all that useful aside from insurance forms and treatment plans. But that isnt what makes it so difficult, for me anyway. It's that, in my opinion, most of the typical BPD characteristics are things most everyone does from time to time -acting in manipulative ways, seeing things as black and white, mood swings... all that. Where's the line? There are some people who are very obviously BPD, but for those people who might be more on the line or have a milder case, I think the diagnosis can hurt more than it can help. That's just my opinion, so I hope no one takes offense or anything like that.

Aside from that little rant (sorry), maybe ask your T what he/she thinks about it. It's really difficult to say something like that without knowing a person fairly well and seeing them in several aspects of their lives, you know? But I hope you're not worrying too much.
