Miss K is right, but i guess i wanted to put out there that there are some therapists who well for lack of a better phrase, are afraid to deal with people who SI, so they pidgeon hole them with the label of BPD and then don't want to deal with them. i know this because i delt with one. i had that label put on me. then whne i was closely looked at by my next two VERY good therapists that 'I' picked out neither one labeled me with that they didn't feel i fit the other categories.
so i think that there are many people misdiagnosed with BPD because of SI.however, there is slowly more research out there and i think they're getting closer to some changes in the diagnostics of people who SI.
maybe soon we'll see a change in the DSM?Best WIshes J.
