I think there's a great deal of overlap between bipolar and BPD, and we don't have access to her notes either, so who knows? I mean why would you admit to BPD if you were a celebrity? At least bipolar has a bit of glamour to it, tortured genius and all that. Looking at her arms, her husband's face, and those tattoos I think she's well into the danger zone of BPD.
>and why does he have that t-shirt wrapped round like that, but I still reckon its all made up.
I wondered if she'd tried to go for his jugular with whatever instrument she was using - a knife? Glass? Maybe he was trying to protect her from being sectioned by covering up the extent and seriousness of his injuries?
>As for her bandages on her arms...most probably SI.
Yeah, I was writing a post on (my) SI for the psychology board when I read this article in the paper, but now it seems a little opportunistic. But I once went out with my forearms in the same state as her husband's face. My dad wanted to call an ambulance, he went bezerk, obviously. I thought he was over-reacting at the time, but looking from the outside I can see how scary it must be to see your child so out of control.
Both her parents seem fairly respectable middle-class types though don't they? Well you never know what goes on behind closed doors, but I know people don't behave like that without a reason. I don't think it started with her boyfriend.
"She was hospitalised earlier this month after a reported overdose of heroin, ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine and alcohol."
I feel outdone. How does one top such a feat?! I don't even the sex pistols came close to this at the height of their infamy.
