Linkadge,
I appreciate your comments and find myself agreeing with you. It's a lot easier to hear what you're saying when you're not so hot under the collar.
Sounds like you've had some unfortunate experiences with psychiatrists. Being a psychologist, I work with a lot of shrinks and none of the ones I refer to would use BPD as a fallback position.
In my case, AD "poop out" was *one* of the indicators that I might be dealing with some form of BPD. Then, after having a manic depression, near suicidal, in response to disiprimine, it became pretty clear. I have almost no mania, though; however, a lot of anxiety.
I don't think that MDD and BPD are dichotomous. I see them more as a gradient or matrix field--but that's another story for another day.
Regardless, I hope you are doing well,
Johann
