@SGde3aI think perhaps we could say that about every diagnosis, eh? The pill industry makes a lot of money off of these diagnoses. But also, it's important on a website like this not to call people's most tender and wounded parts imaginary. We are all here learning from one another, helping one another. It's why this website was created. There are many other websites where people discuss the ideas that you are sharing here.
Having no experience with a particular diagnosis in your own life, i.e. no one you love or yourself, it's really easy to say that it does not exist. But I have personal, years-long experience with this thing they call BPD, and it's so much more than some writing on a page.
A woman handed me some reading material on BPD, and I cried for days because somehow someone had written about my life with my mother, even things that I thought were unique to us. There were things there that I've never told anyone. There were things there that I didn't even realize until I read it! I got books and read more, and it healed me. I learned not to blame my mother, because she can't help that some of her alters have BPD, and because BPD people can exist in a living hell of loneliness.
So...some humans, yes, are very greedy and take advantage of those in need, but also, some are seeing this experience firsthand and trying to get help out there to those, like me, who need a different perspective. ❤️
