Abandonment is over played in BPD in that it is suppose to be the hallmark for BPD, like lack of empathy is the hallmark for aspd. Actually a similar case can be made about empathy with aspd I may touch on that one later too. Basically a lot of people have abandonment issues. I certainly do, not denying it, so do biplar and ptsd too. More later I promise.

Ok so we have a hallmark for this and a hallmark for the other which are also in BPD and other disorders. But then BPD is BPD because of these hallmarks and other symptoms all bunched together to create BPD. Which is why I think it's important all of the symptoms fit. If there are other symptoms not covered then the possibility of something else may be in play. The problem with traits and symptoms over lapping is a possible incorrect dx which I have already gone through.
