If I'm understanding you correctly, the answers are "no".


My OCPD started at a young age, presented itself first, but definitely gets fueled by an episode of my primary or secondary dx. Other than that it doesn't really cause me much problems.


Idk what you mean by form displacement, but it's not always about being confused and angry. It's usually feeling hurt and rejected. Also its not a delusion, delusions have no basis. It's actually mostly misinterpretation.

Intonation, facial expressions, something that was said, how it was said, something that was done.... That's interpreted as "you don't want me anymore, I'm worthless after all" and BAM! Reaction.

Also, this doesn't happen with random people, only my nearest and dearest, which I guess explains the internal agony, as well as the DBT module "Interpersonal Relationships"

That's one of the big problems with BPD,not only is our perceptions and thought patterns very very off, but there's no time between thought, emotion and reaction.


DBT however teaches us to create a little window of time, and I guess with practice the window becomes bigger, even if it never becomes fully natural.


Question,I understand being confused, but isn't developing your own theories just adding to your confusion?
