[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 753494, member: 23706"] Cutting is very common for many reasons.....sexual abuse, drug addicts often cut, and all types of people who are numb cut to feel something. To feel anything.Cutting is common in borderline but it is not the only symptom in this disorder. Borderlines tend to have multiple,intense , dysfunctional and needy relationships in which the person has overwhelming emotions and loves someone one day yet hates them the next. Suicide attempts are common with Borderline (BPD). So are eating disorders. But you can have an eating disorder, which can be very dangerous, and not have borderline. Raging is a common symptom. The only ways your daughter can be somewhat accurately evaluated/diagnosed is by seeing a neuropsychologist (a psychologist with extra training in the brain) or a very sharp Psychiatrist (the guy with the MD.) I don't believe that psychologists, therapists, social workers or counselors are legally allowed to diagnose. And, of course, psychiatry is an inexact science as there are no brain scans or blood tests for getting definite answers. It is the evaluators best guess. So it's iffy. Borderline, which is also called emotional dysregulation disorder, is interesting. There are a lot of books out about it. Check the newer ones! Until a few years ago there was no cure, but DBT therapy has changed that in motivated borderlines. It can now be cured. It is often misdiagnosed as bipolar disorder because of all the mood swings that borderlines have. I hear your struggle. But you can do this and stand strong. Trust God and be good to yourself. We hold your hand with love. [/QUOTE]
