Reactive Abuse
pathologizing someone’s reaction to abuse is called reactive abuse… calling someone “crazy” or being labelled as having anger issues when the reality is that you're having appropriate expected normal reactions that make sense given the circumstance ... or getting misdiagnosed or being labelled w an externalizing style of BPD (petulant/impulsive) as a response to abuse (ie. narcissistic abuse) is one of many ways reactive abuse can manifest
Clinical discernment is so important in these cases, is it your environment thats creates these "symptoms" or is it pathology??
If a person is taken out of an environment (a toxic one), which ppl who are often diagnosed with BPD are from and currently still in, would they still be exhibiting these symptoms if placed in a healthier environment...
its for these reasons thats transformative social justice is so important too.. the personal is always political. The stance that one's environment creates disability (in this case mental health pathology) can not only be applied to encourage critical thinking towards bpd diagnosis but to other mental health disabilities too like depression but to also advocate for necessary changes in broader society within policies n our government (broader safety nets)
we also see this a lot with right-wing ppl calling ppl on the "left" unhinged for having justified appropriate reactions when those more vulnerable to them r being abused, disrespected, and having their rights and protections taken away

Friendly reminder that Petulant BPD isn't "Ab/sive BPD" just like BPD/Cluster B in general isn't "Ab/sive Disorder(s)".

Types of BPD
There are 4 borderline personality disorder subtypes: impulsive, discouraged, self-destructive, and petulant.
IMPULSIVE subtype: These people struggle with impulsivity the most. This can look like binge eating, overspending, unprotected sex, drinking under the influence, alcoholism, gambling, drug use, outbursts, physical fights, yelling fits, breaking things. People with this subtype may appear energetic, flirtatious, charismatic, motivating.
DISCOURAGED/QUIET subtype: These people may keep their emotions inside and express harm to themselves rather than other things/people. Instead of yelling at others they may indulge in self harm behaviors. People with this subtype may be clingy, feel empty or lonely most of the time, be perfectionists, engage in self harm or suicide behaviors, codependant, have anger and emotional mood swings if abandonment issues get triggered.
SELF-DESTRUCTIVE subtype: These people have increased euphoria, a decrease need for sleep, increase in energy. (Self-destructive bpd subtype is not the same as mania, so speak to your doctor about this if you relate to this subtype). People with this subtype may abusive substances like alcohol or/and drugs, indulge in adrenaline-seeking behaviors without thinking of consequences, self harm - burning, cutting, hitting themselves, threats of suicide.
PETULANT subtype: These people have severe mood swings - can go from sad to euphoric in minutes, feel unworthy and unloved, have an unhealthy desire for control. People with this subtype are irritable, stubborn, passive-aggressive, struggle in relationships, struggle with substance abuse.
People who have borderline personality disorder can sometimes relate to just one subtypes, sometimes all of them. You don't have to feel like you have to fit into a category - there are many different ways bpd can manifest and not everyone with bpd is going to be the same way.
