Man, people sure think people with BPD are the devil incarnate. I mean, god, could these questions represent extremes (and misdiagnoses or misunderstandings about what BPD does and does not entail) any more than they do? I love how the article referred to distress as a "tantrum." Um, how many people with BPD live in pain and under stress and DON'T beat their children, manipulate those around them, and rant and rave up and down the street?
Whew. That really is an emotional hair trigger! Yikes!
