I have been officially dx as suffering from depression, with complications-i.e. traits of some of the personality disorders & PTSD.
Some of the PD's I personally relate to are- Borderline, Avoidant, and Schizotypal.
One thing I am intellectually (and emotionally) curious about is how Borderline PD does or does not fit into my relationships.
:
I admit to splitting and other Borderline defences, and accept their origins and roots. (separation anxiety, dissociation, depersonalisation...)
HOWEVER
I have never had sex or a sexual relationship.
I am a 35 year old woman.
I have never even ever had man/boy friends.
I am not a lesbian to my knowledge, either.
I am quite simply scared of men. And physical closeness in general, unless it be of a maternal/parental nature.
I do have sexual fantasies though.
But, Borderline PD states about promiscuity etc, and that is DEFINITELY something that never applies to me.
*apologies for the dx identity crisis, its time I just accepted that I'm a mix of lots of em and not worry myself....however, as I say, I am curious....)*
