Nothing is the same as anything else, but everything is like everything else. What's meaningful is how things are different or alike.

It sounds very contrived. I prefer generalising to not saying anything at all. But most people prefer saying nothing to being wrong. That's very not-borderline. It's what you should become if you aren't like that already. Everything goes and everything and everyone is equal. Nothing matters. Just do as you're told.

And if BP is an illness and BPD is a disordered personality, surely a PD defines you more than an illness does? Or aren't those different either!? That would be confusing.

Question:
What is the biggest cliche any clinician has ever told you?

And, because it hasn't been properly answered :
Do you think that people with borderline are in no way lazy, stubborn, carefree, irresponsible, careless and unreliable, attention-seeking manipulators who only hurt others and think everyone and everything is beneath them, that they owe no-one an explanation and that the rules don't apply to them?

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
