Using what for comfort?

It has been noted that I don't have attachment or relationship difficulties, I have never had problems making and maintaining relationships or with trust issues. Indeed, my inability to fit in the "unstable relationships" box of the DSM for BPD was what stopped them for a long time officially diagnosing me.

I push support away because I view my behaviour as "my mess, so I'll sort it" and to a degree because I am ashamed to be using services when there are many people who need them more that I do. Also, because of the way that my family is, the way I was brought up means that we don't really talk about important things, and we're naturally quite private people.

Really, though, I don't think this thread is the time or the place for a discussion of whether or not you perceive me to have "attachment issues", and I also really don't think it appropriate for you to be essentially diagnosing me (and I use the term loosely, because I can't think of a better word) on a website, based on a single element of a response.

Ballerina123, apologies for sidetracking your thread, but BPD isn't as black and white (oh the irony) as it can seem.
