I also have BPD and find giving this much a fuck to be exhausting on top of all the other shit I'm dealing with so stop making assumptions that invalidate other ppl w bpd. I'm trying to model interacting dialectically for my coworkers I ain't got time to worry about this shit.
Other people with BPD, which strictly refers to borderline personality disorder. What I am saying is strictly medically accurate. As someone who's also autistic and had OCD, wording tends to matter in my position. I will take words and acronyms to mean what they are supposed to mean. To be honest, it is also a common pet peeve to be constantly mistaken as bipolar, so I'm not alone.
It's the equivalent of mixing up ADD and ODD, which are very much not the same conditions.
