PTSD Symptoms that Overlap with BPD
Living and dealing with crazy making behavior has repercussions. I have found it very interesting to look at both sides of the argument and attempt to remain as unbiased as possible. [ not always successfully ] Some say, BPD cannot be cured. Others say yes or can be made manageable. Either way, it's not up to the partners. We can only mitigate or stand out of the line of fire. Not all BPD are as blind as my stbx. There is not a shred of awareness there. Others are fighting it and some are winning the battle. The manner in which many people do become BPD whether it be nature vs nurture is often horribly traumatic and excruciatingly sad. Others do not even under the same circumstances. Reasons are unknown.
PTSD and BPD don't present all that differently depending on the degree and the etiology.
For some sufferers of BPD, there is hope. For others not.
