Brief symptoms and diagnostic criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder, for Kathi Stringer
Must meet 5 of 9 for BPD
1. Avoid Abandonment (Yes)
2. Unstable Relationships (No)
3. Identity Disturbance (Yes)
4. Impulsively - self damaging (Yes) Spending & Starvation
5. Suicidal Ideation or self-mutilating behavior (Yes) Feel like an alien on the wrong planet and act-in from deep depression of seeing the real world.
6. Mood Swings (Yes) maybe bi-polar trait
7. Chronic feelings of emptiness (Yes) Cannot feel enough goodness from the world since the internal good object is not there from abusive childhood and verified from treatment in the hospital.
8. Inappropriate anger (No)
9. Severe dissociative symptoms (Yes)
So, I guess that makes 7 of 9. I only wish I were 7-of-9 from Voyager!
