    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.
