The comic feels slightly sexist tbh 😭

My country doesn't even use the ICD. You're telling me, "if you gave a f*ck, you'd use a term that no doctor or anyone in your country ever uses or understands." Multiple countries use the DSM-5 besides the USA, y'know.

Switching to the Debian installer instead of Ubiquity is a big one. I can't remember the others off the top of my head, but they're great.

Gonna be honest; I'm the kinda guy who sticks to the basics like Mint Cinnamon and ZorinOS. Because of specific updates that Mint is getting in December, I'm switching back to Mint when I get a laptop again.

This isn't meant to call you out; this is a general post because of how often people do it. Native English speakers do it all the time. Whether it's online or irl, I've had to explain to people what it means. It's just a general trend and I'm not calling out a specific person.

I agree, but it still gets annoying to constantly be mistaken as bipolar.

Np!

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.

The thing is, I see myself as more than a diagnosis. I just also view it as a medical condition requiring treatment to help my situation. My girlfriend can attest to the fact that I've been learning and coping fairly well for someone who hasn't even done DBT yet. In fact, I'm further ahead of some folks already in therapy, so I'm clearly working pretty hard on it. I'm way better than I was 3 years ago, which is a success in itself.

The only contexts where I worry about BPD being possibly used against me is in hospitals and by certain family members. They could blame the unstable person with an illness instead of listening to any points I have about being horrifically traumatised.

I genuinely got traumatised so badly that I developed a severe form of OCD rendering me incapable of working. My BPD is a pain in the ass, but the OCD legitimately mentally cripples me to the point of being on welfare and disability tax benefits.

I'm glad that someone else in this thread gets it. Nobody cares about BPD until it's their "abusive ex-girlfriend" and only then does it actually matter.
