I agree, Byz. It would be wonderful if there were a one-treatment-fits-all for every mental disorder, especially personality disorders. I have gone through many psychiatric drug combos for my bipolar even.

I comfort myself that personality disorders are mainly created because we learn to respond to certain unhealthy factors in our childhood environments in ways that help us to survive at the time. Then we carry these responses as our "personalities" into adulthood, when they are no longer appropriate or productive. For example, BPD is associated with some form of consistent severe abuse in childhood--emotional, sexual, and/or physical. We learn to fear being abandoned because we WERE in some way.

I know much of what my mother went through as a child, and it wasn't pretty. I'd be surprised had she not turned out the way she did.

It does particularly hurt, then, when we have these personality disorders, and then are made fun of, criticized, bashed, and rejected. It hurts much more than being made fun of because of bipolar disorder, I can tell you.

Okay, I guess I've had more than my say. Thanks. I just wish somehow that other people could understand, Sorrel.
