Not sure why you're trying to argue with me over something I also struggle with. But if we are going there let us look at one of the definitions provided for diagnoses of BPD in the DSM:
"Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (eg, spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating) [
5] ; this does not include suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in criterion 5".
Firstly, binge eating is for many a diagnosable eating disorder and these are also just examples. Any kind of eating disorder is self-damaging, in fact eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental health issue and often lead to hospitalisation. For this reason eating disorders can clearly characterise themselves as diagnosible both as individual conditions both as also a symptom of a more complex set of mental health issues including BPD.
Mental health is messy and there is no benefit in gate keeping around what is or isn't a symptom or a diagnosable condition as most likely different symptoms or diagnosable conditions interact with each other, creating co-present issues or syndromes.
You're just causing harm with your attitude and unsubstantiated arguments. Give me evidence that I am wrong and maybe I can see where you're coming from. I am only coming at this from my personal and professional experience.
Also what IS harmful is trying to diagnose people over the Internet that you do not know and from what I have read, no medical training? You're going to try say I'm doing the same but I am not - at no point did I say anyone had any such condition, in the original comment I was responding to poster said they suffered from an ED, and from my knowledge this can be linked to BPD.
