I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

That makes a lot of sense @Faith-and-Hope. You are wise and you know the best way for you to manage and live with the challenges you encounter along the way. Accpeting things you otherwise wouldn't, would be difficult I imagine.
I hope you enjoy the movie if you go

No informed sucks @Faith-and-Hope.
It is an interesting conversation @CheerBear about personality and mi etc. my brain went to pick me 😄. I think it might be a good one.
I’m pretty versed in the dsm looking at all my little congregation of dx over time. It’s a messy system but I think it has its place for some things.
The ocpd one for you is interesting in how they go from BPD to that. However I think my perfectionist streak has gone on hyper drive since I broke down but to the point that it’s debilitating. I hope it is helping you to find a path forward. That’s when a dx is really valuable.
Now that I’ve dropped that heavy stuff I might do some gardening. Thank you so much for this chat @CheerBear, @Faith-and-Hope. It’s helped in more ways than you know.
Hugs 💜🤗

PS for a minute I read @CheerBear comment that informed was the name of a movie that wasn’t nice lol, luckily brain kicked in gear before I asked what it was about?
@Faith-and-Hope 😘

They droppped BPD and put it as PTSD instead @Teej and looked at PD traits for more understanding of messy thinking and maladaptive coping.
I can start up that discussion soonish, unless you or someone else starts it first if you'd like. I'd be interested in hearing what other's think too.
Thank you too. So good to see you and catch up with you (both) @Faith-and-Hope. Hope you enjoy your gardening @Teej
