This is quite the read! Thank you for posting. This:
"BPD is constructed from a cumulative, complex group of emotional injuries to one's sense of Self, which begin within the first year of life, due to deficits in affection/touch/holding and emotional attunement with the birth mother, that derail a baby's ability to maintain a nourishing bond of attachment with her."
-especially hit home for me as someone who has a turbulent if not, absent, relationship with her mother. I will say, however, that BPD IS a mental illness and to suggest otherwise is abruptly inaccurate.
What are your thoughts?
