Your welcome (((Ami)))

LoL one thing I learned despite everything else is that ((())) means hugs. I didn't know what it meant before, I think I assumed you "called out" a person when you do that.

Randall, your friend list isn't showing, so if you girls wanna add me just send your FB link to my email.

In fact, I'll just go ahead and do it, now... because I want to continue talking about this thread, but not in the presence of *edit* members who are more concerned with playing sides, heckling, poking fun, half-participating, than actually talking about what I consider a pretty serious subject.

Plutosquared, I dunno if you were directing that at me or not, but if you are, I hope you know I wasn't trying to take sides or anything. I was only speaking of my mother's case, everyone is different, I'm sure there are people out there who have BPD and need the help to get better.

Thanks, Soulfull for clarifying that. I think this thread started out as a debate, as if BPD doesn't exist, thus so many posts at the start.

I realize that some don't believe in BPD and am fine with that. Some people don't believe individuals are born gay, too.

Some people don't believe in God. Some people believe in aliens, others don't.

I try not to take it personally. However, this subject I feel strongly about, so it's a good idea to move my participation elsewhere, in order to keep this topic helpful (otherwise, what's the point, right?) to people who may suffer with BPD.

I don't want to debate whether or not people's problems exist. It seems really insensitive to me.

You have to send me a Friend Request to see my list.

PS, I thought you said you secretly love when someone disagrees with you?

Sure, I can respect a straight forward debate. I don't respect passive-aggressiveness, though.

And, my opinion was this thread was started with a passive-aggressive intent.

The author of this thread does not believe in mental illness, and in fact believes that demons are the likely culprits of mental illness.

There is a lack of genuineness on this thread, from the start. Look at 30 or some more posts that have nothing to do with the topic.

The main responses to this topic that were serious were from posters either responding to me directly, or from my posts.

Your first post was to say that BPD is basically b.s.

That's not a debate. Even though I consider myself pretty brave to walk through here and make my point, in the midst of snickering and passive-aggressiveness.

Regardless, what's the point of "debate" when my points will only go further to "make me the bad, mean enemy" and opposing individuals, "innocents who need protection".

No thanks.

But not everyone is going to agree with you, PS. And there's a chance that not everything you believe in is true. So, you putting down someone else's belief in demons is pretty much the same as someone putting down your belief in BPD. There's no scientific evidence for either one. Do you see what I'm saying? We all believe in many different things--from ideologies to philosophies-- with political and religious differences all across the scale. You are a Christian (and I don't mean this to sound disrespectful), but according to the Bible (which is the religious text of your religion) Jesus didn't lay people on a couch and give them therapy; nor did He give them any medication. What did He do? Jesus cast out demons. All beliefs are valid to the person who believes them--not just your own. Tolerance is what's important.

Randall, you're preaching to the choir.

I get that tolerance is important. I want to be at peace with others, as much as humanly possible.

I have already apologized and cut my losses for the way this topic began - another one of my trademark Aries flops.

However, I will not keep playing toss the ball with a group of people who have no respect for my ideas, and no tolerance for my opinions.

This is a 2 way street, here, Randall. Show respect, and respect will be given back. I promise.

Otherwise, if you think I'm upset because others here don't believe in BPD? Wrong. I am upset because of the tone, the manner in which this topic is being handled - and the complete LOSS of the bigger, more important issues -

That REAL PEOPLE SUFFER FROM MENTAL Illness, and this thread is a joke.

I don't want to contribute to it anymore. I want to do something positive, say something positive, and be part of a positive process.

Dear Soulful
I am sorry everything you went through with your Mother.
I know how hard it is when YOU don't have a mother to take care of you.
Instead ,you have to take care of her.


PS Look forward to seeing your Friend Request on FB
I will do a psychic reading for you,Soulful,if you would like me to.
