Hi everyone. I am 19 years old and my therapist and I recently discussed that I show many traits of BPD (more than the “required” amount of symptoms to be diagnosed) though she is hesitant to officially diagnose due to the stigma with personality disorders. However, for the “black and white thinking” trait, I asked her for more clarification and she told me she did not know an answer. So, I figured it would be better to ask others that actually experience this, as that is what my question(s) pertain to. I definitely switch between idolizing and demonizing people mentally, though I was wondering if it mattered if this switch between the two was caused by something or if it was somewhat random. For me, it seems to either be random, or they will do something (that is objectively not a very big deal and does not warrant it) and I will assume that they hate me, they’re trying to use me, they’re out to get me, they want to leave me, etc. I just wanted to hear some thoughts on this. Thanks everyone.
