Hello, I am asking about someone I was dating as to whether or not they have the symptoms of BPD. I noticed she is very critical, gets agitated easily and accuses me of things that I'm not doing. For instance, if I'm texting her she accuses me of being sarcastic when I'm not - i.e if I typed "that's fine! Have a nice night!" she would write back "Pls stop being sarcastic" . In fact, she is the one that is very sarcastic! She always refers to people as mf'ers and worse. She even told an old man in an electric scooter to "get out of my way you old f'n man!" She also has made violent remarks such as throwing my one cat that pees on floor against a wall. She was upset that a lady did not stop her car and let us cross the street on foot so my friend yelled C*&T" to her. Also very OCD and controlling. She was critical with things such as my makeup not being the right color, complained I have sweaty palms and cold feet when in fact they were not at all. It was driving me crazy and I would show her and try to prove my palms were dry as can be. She also complained that my house wasn't clean enough. I noticed that she does seem to drink a lot of wine. FYI: she was sexually abused by an uncle for a few years as a child and does not work and collects SSD.

Do you take this behavior as borderline personality disorder?

You know that she needs help in getting her head unwrapped from her uncle sexually abusing her for a few years as a child.
She's got a load of rage that needs to be neutralized by a professional before someone decides to put her out of her misery after hearing a mouthful of her vitriol.
She's experiencing what in the old days would be considered Demonic possession

I'm kinda interested in why you were dating this bundle of joy.
You must luv being abused !

I didn't really start seeing some one this until after we were dating. I have since ended it with her.

Borderline personality disorder is basically a catch-all for shrinks who don't know how to categorize someone.

Why does it matter anyway? If her behavior isn't acceptable to you, don't see her anymore. No need to figure out some supposed diagnosis.

I think people like to believe that someone they don't get along with, must be crazy. So, then there is no supposed real justification for that person to be legitimately mad at them. Which means that someone who gets mad at them, must be out of their minds, because in "their" mind, there was no justification for it. Therefore, no need to look at their own behavior.

Anyway, the bottom line is that you don't like her behavior, so stay away from her.

She sounds like a horrible person... but didn't this post appear here on CD before?

Just ask her. She should know her diagnosis if she gets SSDI.

Animal abuse is usually an element of antisocial personality disorder vs BPD but people can have both. BPD is also sometimes over diagnosed in females on the autistic spectrum.

I suppose she could be, but, the one think I would do for is make her NOT MY FRIEND.

If she hasn't had repeated suicide attempts and doesn't have arms that look like ribbons she probably doesn't have BPD.

No. From what you have described/highlighted as regards her behavior and personality, she does not meet the criteria of an Axis II diagnosis of BPD. (Check out the DSM criteria for BPD. That would give you the best insight and answer....)
