My wife sees a therapist for (not revealing confidentialities)
 
She is learning how to live with, to deal with, someone with borderline personality disorder.

Me.

This is a new diagnosis. It goes with major depression, generalized anxiety, and bipolar II. I take four psych drugs.

Now borderline personality disorder. Even though I've read a lot about it, I don't really understand it. Anyone else with this particular affliction?

I really feel bad for my wife. She didn't know what she was signing on for 15 years ago.

1. oh my dear.
 
this dx was talked about for my daughter when she was in high school, but they dont give it until adulthood.

from what i know, well, it is hard. really hard.

she doesnt talk to me. we had the hardest time. and it kills me that she will likely never really heal.

and never feel how much i love her.

from what i know this negates the bpII. and it does not respond very well to meds, tho the depression part might. from what i know dbt is helpful. but it is so damn hard to talk back to a broken brain.

to you and mrs v. good that she has her own person to talk to. that should really help.

2. wow, mo
 
I really feel for her. My therapist and I are working on it, but what can be done? I mean honestly. I have asked her that question, and she said, "well, let's keep working." Maybe all that can be done is behavior modification? What the hell do I know.

I am very sorry to hear about your daughter. I can't imagine a mother's pain.

What is dbt?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a therapy designed to help people change patterns of behavior that are not helpful, such as self-harm, suicidal thinking, and substance abuse. This approach works towards helping people increase their emotional and cognitive regulation by learning about the triggers that lead to reactive states and helping to assess which coping skills to apply in the sequence of events, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help avoid undesired reactions. DBT assumes that people are doing the best they can but are either lacking the skills or influenced by positive or negative reinforcement that interfere with their ability to function appropriately.

A foolish assumption where a DUmmy is concerned.

Almost every damn last one of you DUmbass freaks admits to needing to be in a looney bin yet you all claim to be the ones to rule the rest of us.

Maybe you should adjust your thinking to keep it in line with your insanity.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Now borderline personality disorder. Even though I've read a lot about it, I don't really understand it.

It's just a psychobabble-laden way to say you're an erratic asshole that nobody of sound mind would want.  Pretty simple, really.

'Course, guys tend to overlook this in women if they're hawt . . .

You'll be surprised.

In other words, Big Mo's daughter is wacko but Big Mo is sane.

Riiiight.

Big Mo claims every physical ailment known to mankind, including an enlarged prostate, but doesn't realize the whole problem is she's crazier than a shithouse rat.

Her family and neighbors have been trying to tell her that for years.

Her 2014 DUmmy of the Year title was well-earned.

But heaven forbid this be tried to fix the mental disorder of homosexuals.

As a young fellow, My daddy used leather belt therapy to cure all my mental problems.

The next thread from Big Mo will be where she was kicked out on her ass and she is now adding same sex divorce to her list of woes...

Well imbecile,if this is the daughter that accused you of abuse and happened to have the fractured skull you claimed you didn`t know about,it is no surprise that she doesn`t talk to you.

I was just listening to a podcast where the guest said words to the effect:

Once you identify as the victim, you cease to look in the mirror.

Now that...whoever has a diagnosis, they will never get better because they will abnegate self-responsibility in favor of pills.

Possibly pills could help but not if that is seen as the solution instead of a crutch for looking deep down inside and facing whatever it is. There is nothing wrong with a crutch for as long as it is needed.

So DBT could cure homosexuality.
If it could actually treat destructive behavior disorders there could be no limit to how many libs it could cure.

That would require responsibility to be shown by the primitives--the responsibility to change themselves.  This they will never do.

"Borderline" my ass.  Try "FULL BLOWN"!

BPD describes and explains liberals to a "T".

Proglodytes sense a set of symptoms, they then find some malady that bears those symptoms; they then declare themselves as suffering from Condition X.

Okay. No big deal. Everyone suffers from something.

But Proglodytes make this the sole definition of their lives.

They cease to be capable beings and insist that Condition X will forever define them whereas normal people work to transcend their own Condition X to be as whole as possible.

To a Proglodyte the absence of misery is suffering and Heaven would be Hell.

Oh, I don't know.

The skank signed up to shag a big sweaty bull dagger.

A little insanity would be pretty much expected.
