hmm, this is confusing - even some borderline stuff (esp. swinging between idealization and devaluation) makes sense, especially with regards to my fear of abandonment ...

like i say, there seems to be traces of everything, though i guess that's the case with everybody

the problem is that i will read all this stuff and sometimes try and bend my story to fit it, or use one single disorder as a lens through which to view my life, which gets me in trouble ... particularly when dealing with a 'diagnosis happy' shrink. or my memory of events will be faint, or i'll kind of lack the self-insight or willingness to embrace what's really there, because it doesn't fit the DSM ..

do you know what i'm talking about? i guess i should stop trying to self-diagnose, particularly because the stuff i read starts to blur in with the truth. maybe what i'm saying bespeaks more of some kind of identity instability
