One notable thing to me about the BPD discourse I’ve been seeing here over the last couple of days, vast majority of it from non-clinicians, there is just no tiptoeing around BPD as a diagnosis, no the-diagnosis-that-must-not-be-named vibes; it is refreshing in its own way, a collective step away from toxic denial that has often characterized activism around this. I don’t know what the future holds for BPD as a diagnosis; quite possibly the terminology will look different in 2 decades, but the experiential and behavioral patterns that are indexed by BPD need clear-eyed recognition, and that need will not change.
