I wanted to make clearer my concern, which is generally the assumption that people here are mostly anything.
I'm pretty anti=diagnostic categories in general, because I don't considered myself primarily identified by any psychological category, or with it. I guess I don't see those categories as revealing much about who someone is. what they value.
Gazo herself mentioned concerns about stigma related to BPD, and I can't say that I don't think there are any. In some places there might still be-- I'm not sure. But not here-- I wouldn't think. I might not particularly want to be thought of as being BPD, or being a depressed person, though. As others have said, that just isn't even a significant way that I think of, or would imagine, myself.
Hope this isn't uncivil. I didn't think Gazo needed to apologize. But I did wonder what led her to that conclusion, or if it's important to her what diagnosis people have.
