Unstable self-image or sense of self.

What else?

Yeah.

The last three, recurrent suicidal or self-harming behaviors.

We've talked about that a little bit.

Stress-related paranoia or dissociative symptoms like feeling like the self or the world isn't real.

It feels like that's probably at the far end of the spectrum or the most severe end.

And then one we missed earlier was inappropriate and intense anger or difficulty controlling anger.

Oh, I got you.

Okay.

Interesting.

You're going to, to be diagnosed, like I said, five of those nine, it'll probably be, you know, like you'll be talking to a psychologist or someone in an interview.

You might fill out a questionnaire or something.

Right?

Click, click, click, click.

Or they may speak to your family or something like that.

It can be difficult to diagnose.

And there, like you said, there's a lot of overlap between

between you know things like anxiety and depression and things like ptsd and eating disorders a lot of comorbidities so i get why people can have issues with like this diagnosis rather than it's like a cluster of symptoms of other things but i don't know if you group that all together then it and call it its own thing then i don't know i'm not sure i see the harm in that

Maybe, because there also isn't, and we'll talk about pharmaceuticals, but there isn't a specific pharmaceutical for BPD.
