This.
Just because you were a pushover and got manipulated doesn't mean she had a mental disorder.
I love all the WEBMD psychologists here.
"BPD exists on a spectrum." No it doesn't. Psychiatrists require very specific criteria be reached before they diagnose BPD, given the gravity of the illness and difficulty of treatment. The spectrum you are talking about is for Bipolar disorder which is a seperate mental ailment from BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder).

There are no high low attributions only:
Bipolar I: Experienced manic episode --
Bipolar II: Individual 'only' has hypomanias opposed to full blown mania --
Cyclothymia: Attributed to a chronic and milder form of symptoms above --
All you bro science guys who have no idea what you're talking about are dangerously spreading misinformation. Got everybody thinking that just because a woman was mean to you she has a personality disorder.
Approximately
1.6% of American population has BPD. That is roughly over
4 million people. Americas population is approximately
321.4 million. 70% of BPDs make an attempt on their lives.
10% are successful. Did your ex try to kill herself? I doubt it.
Wow! It's so hard to find a quality woman but all you seemed adept at finding women with a rare severe mental illness that's often under & misdiagnosed.
