> I wish that people would be able to understand the depth of pain that certain people are capable of feeling. This is why some people pull stunts like faking a suicide.
I'd like to separate two issues from what you are saying.
> Being Borderline, I feel like I have more insight into that type of thing. When I am happy I literally CAN'T remember being sad and when I am sad I can't remember what happy feels like. Other people can use memories of happy events to pull themselves out of depression or unhappy feelings. I can't because I can't remember from time to time what they felt like.
Your description of what it is like to have BPD is moving, and I understand the disorder rather well, having dated not one, but two, borderline women. It's not an easy thing to deal with, nor can rational thought control it.
> I think that is what has happened here with Kristin. She needs our support and I will never be in favour of permanently banning her or anyone else who is desperate enough to fake a suicide.
> ElleThe separate issue is whether she needs *our* support. Her need for support is not in question.
