Replies Poker Shark Posted at 10:51 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 I have a friend who has BPD and I don't think she cuts for attention. She did use to cut a lot. tell me again Posted at 10:36 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 What are the list of 'symptoms' that you think fits borderline personality disorder? I highly doubt it.. but I can tell you if you let me know. BPD is a really complex mental disorder, their mind is more disorganised and that's what makes them do "manipulative" things sometimes. There's no single reason why anybody cuts though, as is the case for depression or anything else. Just a note though, sometimes it's helpful to put a label to things to understand it better. But try not to rely on it. Ultimately you need to try to deal with the problem itself rather than what diagnostics it falls under. bananawhore Posted at 3:29 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 to feel better i dont tell people about it. bigredron Posted at 3:27 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 why do you cut then? sieeeeerra Posted at 3:25 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 You shouldn't cut for any reason. If your not doing it for attention, what are you doing it for? Cutting is a disease that is most common in young adults it is usually because of the fact that they were ignored. I have heard people say that they cut for the pain but pain isn't something that people seek. If you feel the need to cut you should also see a psychiatrist and sort out your inner most problems. Once you get everything off your chest you will notice that your symptoms of border line personality disorder go away.
