Good job at providing a whole essay on Borderline Personality Disorder symptomatology Elmer Gantry
I thought I did a pretty good job of it. So did the other members. You made a false claim, so I was clearing it up for the other members, and to point out to you, that you were wrong with your own personal claim and lack of knowledge.
I don't usually boast or talk about my credentials, because I don't need to, and in this case, for my own personal entertainment, I will.
When you don't have any knowledge or credentials like we all can see that you clearly don't, it's best not to boast or talk about it, because it makes you look bad, and you provide the entertainment for us.
you say I'm talking from my own personal opinion? that I have no knowledge in the matter?
Yes I am, and yes you are. You made that very clear in your post. You have no knowledge of the matter, and the other members can see that as well. In fact, they all agree with me, and they disagree with you, and they even said that you were wrong as well. You said that "no BPD girl can go through pressures of medical school." That is simply not true and you were shown to be wrong by me and others. That is an opinion. Your own personal one. Just like if you said no alcoholic can hold down a job. That is an opinion. That is wrong too. I stated the facts and proved your own personal opinion to be wrong.
well it seems you are the one who is making assumptions without evidence. As you may know, I have a masters in mental heatlh counseling, and currently in my second year of my Psy.D degree that means Doctor of clinical psychology for you.
How would I know that you have a Masters? I don't know that you have one, but I can tell that you missed out on a few of the BPD lectures, otherwise you wouldn't of made that ridiculous claim like you did. But I know for a fact, that a guy with Masters Degree in mental health wouldn't be making an outlandish claim like you did, and unable back up a statement with facts.
but that aside, I do know what BPD entails, its debilitating symptoms, and why therapists in general don't like dealing with this population. I certainly don't.
most BPD people can't finish therapy and they are difficult to deal with, but if you knew the warning signs, and what it entails, you wouldn't of made that absurd personal claim.
What I do know, is that guys in this site use this word as a laber in order to rationalize to themselves the fact that their girl is losing interest, or is just not into them anymore, "well she must be BPD, that's why the sudden change of IL."
Some guys may make that claim, but if there were no BPD behavior involved then that is not true, and if you knew what it was, you can pick up on that. The OP left out a lot of information that he never provided us with. Then he told us more about her behavior after the relationship was over. The signs pointed that she may have it. Cordon stated she did from his experience. As the OP told more she did show signs of it, in fact he wrote a checklist of how she acted. Those signs point to BPD. You just don't go around telling guys they have BPD gf's. Read what they say, how she acted, and when you know what it is, you can tell if it points to that or not.
noone in this site is qualified to give out a diagnoses of BPD to a posters few lines about how her girl is losing interest. I certainly would not diagnose anything from such lack of information, its just not ethical.
A few lines? He wrote several posts about her behavior after he dumped her. Didn't you read those? I did. No, you couldn't say that she did before he dumped her. But he told us more about her after he dumped her and her behavior. Too bad he didn't say that sooner. He even made a checklist of BPD behavior. But given what the OP stated after the relationship was over, what he said about her behavior, those signs point to BPD, and if you go by those and his information, you can make your case. But all that doesn't matter....What does matter, and the reason that I posted, was that you made an absurd claim about BPD women, and I corrected you on it. You were proven wrong by me, and other members here, and for a guy that supposedly has a masters in mental health, I find that very hard to believe that you do. Because if you really did, you would in fact know that they are capable of going to work and school, because you would of studied that in school and learned that behavior in your studies, instead of making this outlandish personal opinion like you did.
but some guys need the rationalization in order to make themselves cope with the situation.
some guys don't even know what it is until they find out after the relationship is over or even years after. He never said she had that. That was brought to his attention. Some guys might, but if you know what he behavior is, like I do, you know what to look for and when not to enter a relationship with someone like that.
again, don't argue with me about my professional knowledge on the BPD subject, because sir, you will just make yourself look negatively.
LOL....You did that to yourself with your own words, I was just trying to correct you're absurd claim, and show you where you were wrong, in which I did, and which you were. I don't look negative at all, you do, everybody agrees with me, not with you.
You keep talking about having a masters and now boasting about having professional knowledge, in which you demonstrated to all of us, and to yourself that you clearly don't have any at all. You make yourself look worse each time. You can't state any facts, only personal opinions and assumptions, you are proven wrong again each time you type a sentence, and you can't back up your claim you made.
In fact, in your rebuttal here, you move away from what was the main point of the post. It was you, and your lack of knowlegde of BPD, not the OP's gf, or guys making BPD claims. It was you and you're lack of knowledge, and your absurd claim, but you moved away from it. Anybody can claim they have any degree, doesn't mean that they actually do have it. And for you to be boasting about degrees and knowledge when we all can see that you don't have any, just really makes you look bad. You should quit while you're ahead. I would suggest taking a few refresher courses in the summer on psychology and personality and emotional disorders, since you have seemed to forgotten all the material you learned for your masters. Also, don't boast about degrees, when you lack knowledge and information because you make yourself look very bad in the forums, like you just did again.
