kyle neocities you WILL make thumbnail previews for my offsite page updates I COMMAND THEE.... anyways, go read my new blog https://vivarism.net/diary/24/1125 goodnight <333
congrats on beating the bpd allegations! i empathise a lot with some of the stuff you've written here, especially since I was on tumblr when the BPD self-dx thing was really going around and wanted an answer for why i was Like That:tm:. cheering on your efforts towards being your vivariest (if it works as an adjective, lol) self as always!
I feel torn on the concept of personality disorders because on one hand, it's a pretty modern concept and a bandaid diagnosis for what can easily be described as environmental behaviors that cause PTSD/C-PTSD + the whole trope that women are branded as "BPD" by professionals for any little thing. Some autistic traits can be considered BPD. But the specific patterns of behavior attached to "the big ones" are real.
And the trendiness of it in certain communities makes people actively want to "be" that, reshape their behavior to "fit" it, or weaponize it to justify actual abusive behavior... I'm guilty of throwing around the phrase derogatorily and have gone under fire for it in private, but how it's kind of a meme-y trendy dx is why. I don't know where I'm going with this.

I've read this entry twice now, it's both very accurate and insightful.
Floone, you are so strong, resilient, brave, and kind. I'm incredibly proud of you. Never forget the world is a better place with you in it. <3
