See how much we still all have to learn about each other?
I have the dx of a simply adjustment disorder. It is all that is necessary and I don't want the PTSD stuff in my insurance file anywhere.
When I first read the descriptors of BPD I asked my therapist about the "extreme behaviors to avoid abandonment" part. Felt like me, with him. He said something along the lines of me being almost pathologically stable in relationships - no extreme behavior there. And he thinks intense attachment to your therapist can be a "normal" though not necessarily automatic thing that happens in deep therapy. So it isn't an indication of pathology in and of itself.
It is all so complicated, isn't it?
