Borderline Personality Disorder “No Longer Has a Place in Clinical Practice”
Nothing of psychiatry is based on science , and misses the reality of culture, trauma , ( hysteria) from abuse by a malignant projector in denial of their own darkness .
It’s been sexist , as a stay at home Mom, with dreams of having a business I could tailor to our children’s needs , I didn’t bother to share with a partner who had shown me , my place in the world was one of grateful slavery , did not see me, did not hear me, never ever showed that I mattered.
Labels , rather that observe the facts.. my ” histrionic ” personality were malignant abuse and Xanax over dose/ addiction , which had me break with reality .. an induced nervous breakdown ..
So much devastation and loss as a result , my recovery has been challenged many times to protect the falsehoods of those who have portrayed a highly distorted reality which demonizes the feminine and erases families.

I was very lucky not to be affected with Akathisia, however I know a gal who was .. As a gifted artist , and photographer , she was very shaky , had weights added to her camera , but her exquisite , detailed drawing days were over .
Side effects from these highly toxic , prescription drugs are treated with yet another prescription, in a pyramid of life draining proportions , but accepted by the masses as a disease or disorder .
First person experience below :
I’m still tapering from medications, but I am better, which is how I know recovery is possible. Understanding the systems that were impacted by medications was an essential piece of the puzzle. My search for relief and recovery began the moment I was diagnosed with drug-induced akathisia.
