In suspicious moments, I, too, see the Orwell reference - The "infamous" Dr. Bob sitting back, observing all the tortured souls -- this one's on Prozac, this one's on Lith, this one's anti-med --- wondering what we'll do next.
The majority of the time, I see it as a tribe in the sense that we all share some form of not being "CNP's" and appreciate the "famous" Dr. Bob for providing the forum for sharing, growth, support and healing.
In the bleakest moments, I'm just so glad it's here that I don't bother thinking about "why" it is here.On a personal note, being at peace with my personal tribe was something of supreme importance to me. However, I've had to give that up. My sister is BPD and there is NO evidence she's making any efforts to get better, and holding my boundaries is the only means to detente and personal peace.
