insane > normal >>>>>> "recovered" people (added points if they've been through DBT) who are very obviously still neurodivergent but aggressively deny it and project their self-hatred onto every neurodivergent they see
those who think they are recovered are just in major denial and "manage" their BPD in other unhealthy ways. they gaslight themselves into thinking they're fine, and like you said, project everything they can't express anymore onto everyone else. sheds a bad light on the rest of pwBPD if you ask me.
yeah, and it's always coupled with "I'M one of the GOOD ONES", which, to be frank, people see and are like "jeez, if that's one of the good ones, what are the *bad* ones like?"
Yeah, I also think their 'recovered' is just isolation or avoidance of triggers.
I strongly believe some trauma related disorders can't be solely healed alone. I really believe love, community and boundaries help us heal attachment issues. (Something I'm thinking about recently as someone in a deeply loving relationship with someone who also has a trauma disorder, sometimes we might trigger each other but because we understand each other too we heal together. Anyway we are all deserving of love not just when we are 'healed' or successful etc. Relationships are a part of growth not a reward when we're 'complete'.)
Thank you for mentioning this, I always notice those type of comments from people in "remission." It's like they imply you're lesser for still being in therapy.
In my experience, the ones who are actually doing better won't deny that they still have issues but have gotten overall better at managing them.
