I've spent time in a psych ward, as a med student, not a patient, and I'm aware. But while I have your ear: what's the deal with borderlines having childhood sexual trauma? All of the ones I met in my 6-week stay reported some form of abuse, and I'm inclined to think becoming a crazy person is some downstream effect of it, but I don't know the modern take on "cluster B as trauma response" discourse.

A shorter version of this essay is a better one, though I still liked it.
I came across this disaster on reddit and immediately thought it would end up here. Someone even posited that she's not a real person and is instead a psyop by a right winger to make leftists Coasties women journalists look insane. eg. here's another of hers: "I Couldn't Fulfill My Boyfriend's Fetish, So We Opened Our Relationship". Her boyfriend is a feeder, which means he likes helping a partner get fatter. That he's in a relationship with someone who has an eating disorder is, I'm assuming, not a coincidence. In atypical fashion, though, opening their relationship did not immediately blow it up.
"She's not a real person..." I say while rocking on the floor of my hospital room. "She's just three cluster B personality disorders in a trench coat, she can't get you."
How do they figure because I'm sure if I uttered this phrase elsewhere I'd get cancelled for victim-blaming.
Well shit, my SIL is BPD. I guess I'll try super hard not to beat my kids lest they inflict that terror upon us all.
