BPD - the 9 Criteria according to the DSM-IV

Borderline Personality Disorder is quite often diagnosed instead of or along with Biploar II.

Criteria:

1. frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment. Note: Do not include suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in Criterion 5.

2. a pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation

3. identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self

4. impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating). Note: Do not include suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in Criterion 5.

5. recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior

6. affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days)

7. chronic feelings of emptiness

8. inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights)

9. transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms

The DSM IV is for doctors and professionals - you really should NOT read this book without guidance .....anyone can match a symtom to something and drive themseleves mad and their may not be anything wrong with them all - STAY AWAY FROM IT ...leave it to professionals

Why is it internet trolls search out vids they have no interest in, and pimp out their issues as if it is cool?

These trolls ruin other peoples enjoyment of the vids.

[thecrackwalker]

lol In what way?

[thecrackwalker]

they do it to try to create an uproar, their pea brain egos think they are hurting me by asking such stupid questions.. it only makes them look like the aggressor.

I'd have to say, paranoid ideations and perhaps antisocial personality disorder.. etc..

they are sick too.. we all go nuts for a while..

it all comes down to the purposeful hating of an individual simply because they don't like your illness.

same as racism, homophobia etc..

[thecrackwalker]

ahh the answers are what you seek... all in due time, grasshooper, all in due time.

ruining other's lives? your life can only be ruined by someone should you allow it. It on you to think for yourself... grasshopper... listen, learn.. stop judging those you have never met. a few bad apples don't spoil the bunch

[thecrackwalker]

I am trying to get the word out.. so hopefully by the time I'm done you'll have a better understanding

[SadisticallySpeaking]

Why is it that you mentally ill folks here are attention whoring and pimping out your issues as if it is cool?

These problems ruin other people's lives around them too.
