    when I’m taking report I usually put BPD but then either BP1 or BP2 same as I put DM1/DM2 but tbh 1&2 are going out of fashion for that set anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    (but if they’re hospitalized I’m really more labeling the acute episode than the chronic state anyway so if you really think about it I’m ahead of the game)

      Yeah, just letting you know that medically speaking, BPD is an entirely different acronym. These comments in this post just feel dismissive of my condition that has its own acronym. It is annoying as hell to be constantly mixed up with a completely different disorder.

        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.

            I’m not mixing them up. Notation varies. There aren’t two bpds it’s also not even BPD in most parts of the world anymore since borderline is representative of an antiquated understanding of the disorder. If you actually GaF you’d be calling it EUPD.

              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.
