#25 – Who Was The First Borderline? – From Cavemen and Dinosaurs to Creationism and the FSM

Posted on by

A very funny look at how BPD might have made it into the gene pool. Who was the culprit? Cavemen? Apes? Dinosaurs? Single celled organisms? Can creationism and a “young earth” explain BPD better than evolution and its “old earth”? Or is BPD it simply a construct invented by mental health professionals to label a group of people with a certain subset of psychiatric behaviors that aren’t particularly adaptive.
A great read!

Where did BPD come from, and how was it passed down to modern humans? This is one of the more vexing questions of our age. For an answer, we must turn to the all-knowing wisdom of American psychiatry, which proclaims:

Grandparent1

“BPD is strongly inherited.” This seems like an answer to where BPD comes from. But is it? According to psychiatry, BPD is mostly in the genes. But how could this dreaded disease have originally developed? It didn’t magically appear out of thin air. This begs the question:  From whom was BPD first inherited? Who – or what – was the real “first borderline”?

In this essay, I will take psychiatry’s thinking to its logical conclusion. If BPD is “inherited”, we should be able to track down the ultimate source of this nefarious malady…

  1. Thanks for sharing this! I am honored to have an article reblogged on a blog like yours, which is honestly better done than my own! (it occurs to me at this point that SV would say I am a cerebral narcissist, hiding my grandiosity via false modesty after receiving this massive dose of narcissistic supply) 🙂
    Now I need to take your recommendations on how to make blogs successful to heart!

    • oh, your blog is pretty awesome too. And you are MUCH funnier than I am and certainly know a lot about BPD–much more than I do. So I’m honored to reblog this article and help you out some though. 🙂

      SV? You could be right about that. He thinks I’m a narcissist but I’m not sure if cerebral or somatic. Probably cerebral. I don’t think he knows that much about BPD, and to those who don’t understand it, it can come off as narcissism. A lot of people think I’m a narcissist–I have two disorders (BPD and Aspergers) that are often misdiagnosed as NPD. To my knowledge, no psychiatrist has diagnosed me with NPD. I said to my KNOWLEDGE. There was a time in my early 20’s I toyed with narcissism and played mind games with my therapist. I liked tormenting him. I wrote an article about that (Test Driving Narcissism–look it up in the search bar). I never saw my dx–it might have been NPD. 😮

      • Well if you need anyone to diagnose you, just let me know. I can always do the honors 🙂
        Just kidding. And that is hilarious that SV thought you were a narcissist. I never know whether to think of him as an imbecile or a comedian. Or both.
        I will check out your article about Test Driving Narcissism.

        • Thanks for reading that article, and I just saw your comments. 🙂

          I also wanted you to know I spewed my coffee when I saw the Avoidant PD dinosaur and the Malignant Narcissist Stegosaurus! LOL! Too funny.

          • Are you laughing at my research?
            This is serious scientific inquiry I’ve been doing for years to find out how personality disorders affect dinosaurs like Anklysaurus and Stegosaurus.
            We need to take their problems very seriously, LuckyOtter, and make sure that we direct these lumbering reptiles to the appropriate online forums for their pathology, so that they will not be stigmatized any further.
            Thank you.

            • Hmmm well, perhaps the Avoidant Anklysaurus could get better, but I’m not at all sure about that MN Stegosaurus. Better go no contact with that reptile before he blinds you with his shiny sails.

  2. Since you reblogged this from bpdtransformation, I will “reblog” the comment I just left there:

    I have the rarest blood type (Ab neg) and the rarest eye color (green). According to the more intelligent out-of-the-box thinkers, this is a clear indication that my ancestors came from outer space.

    Alien DNA is immune to human personality disorders. We do not merely think of ourselves as superior beings. We are. 😉

  3. I had this friend once who traced her father’s schizophrenia to the Irish Potato Famine in the 1800’s. Then I read online that schizophrenia is an adaptation for famines, a survival mechanism. I’m not sure how that is supposed to work. I just find it interesting.

    • Very interesting, Joan. I’m guessing that your friend found evidence of Hereditary Hemochromatosis on her father’s side of the family. “HH” is an inherited metabolic disorder that causes a person’s body to absorb an excessive amount of iron from an ordinary diet. With the exception of a female’s monthly menstration, our bodies do not have any natural way of getting rid of excess iron. When an overload of iron builds up to toxic levels in one’s blood and tissues, it causes all kinds of damage. Damage to the pancreas can lead to type 1 diabetes. Damage to the liver often leads to cirrhosis and cancer. Damage to the cardiovascular system can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Damage to the joints results in a painful crippling form of arthritis. And, it is speculated but not yet proved, at least as far as I’m aware, that damage to the brain can cause all sorts of mental maladies, ranging from mild depression and anxiety all the way to schizophrenia.

      According to Wikipedia: “The hereditary form of the (HH) disease is most common among those of Northern European ancestry, in particular those of Celtic descent.” Celtic, aka Irish. In fact, Hereditary Hemochromatosis is sometimes called the “Celtic Curse.” There is speculation (which I believe has also not been proven) that HH may have come about due to the potato famine you mentioned.It makes sense that this might be so. People who can absorb a high amount of iron from a woefully deficient starvation diet, would be better able to survive famine.

      However, when a person with HH eats a traditional western diet that is high in red meats, and with everything from breakfast cereal to store-bought bread and even milk being “fortified with extra iron!” — Yikes — it feels like the food you eat is trying to kill you!

      How do I know so much about this? Well, in addition to being covered with freckles, a clue to my Irish heritage, twelve years ago I was genetically tested and found to have inherited the HH gene from BOTH of my parents. I stay away from iron-rich foods and have my blood tested periodically. I am lucky to have been born a woman. No doubt, menstration saved me. My father and my brother were not nearly so lucky. Now that I am several years past menopausal, though, the best thing for me to do is to donate blood regularly. The problem: my blood type is so rare, most blood banks refuse to take it.

      • Alaina, fascinating information. I never heard of HH before or knew it had anything to do with Celtic ancestry.
        I have heard that some women who are schizophrenic, spontaneously heal from their schizophrenia after menopause.

    • I would love to know how schizophrenia would be adaptive during a potato famine. I have read that schizophrenics are more likely than other people to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes, not sure what the connection would be there either. Interesting, indeed. If you find out more, let me know.
