[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 9312"] When I read your original post, Borderline (BPD) was the thing that really came to mind. It is important to realize that Borderline (BPD) is rarely a stand alone diagnosis and is often comorbid with bipolar, depression and anxiety as well as eating disorders and other personality disorders. Cutting is usually not seen as attention seeking as it is usually hidden very well by those who engage in self injurous behavior. However, your daughter has managed to hide it from you for a year and a half. Another thought: when one has a mental illness it isn't visible like a broken arm or cancer. You have all these things going on inside you and noone can see it. There usually isn't an adequate way to articulate it. The cutting and the not eating may be a way of making an invisible problem visible. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
