You still seem deeply traumatized. The way you speak about your experience is something that reminds me of myself and other people’s communication with unprocessed traumatic experiences.

You experience is valid, but the way you generalize and demonize BPD/mentally ill women is not. You can’t expect to get any pity or validation by randomly trauma dumping in a shitposting community. Getting angry and generalizing is often the first step towards healing, but… This is not the place to do it.

So like, stigmatization even from professionals? Yeah I can see that. It’s absolutely not what I experienced so far, quite the opposite; but I haven’t been to each and every psych ward in my country haha.

Maybe I just didn’t like your phrasing? Because it’s different if you straight up say: The diagnosis and treatment in psychiatry is flawed and still has a long way to go; if you personally suffer from BPD and don’t get the treatment you know you need, get diagnosed with ASD and PTSD to get proper treatment; directly addressing the problems of an established diagnosis and treatment system which is only very sluggishly changing.

edit: if you’re interested in this kind of stuff, search for “OPD-3”, it tries to address the rigidity problem the ICD-10 and DSM-5 have

I’m diagnosed with BPD and met (quite some) other people who were diagnosed over the years. I think your theory is bullshit – but not in a rude way, it just doesn’t fit what I know about BPD and the women diagnosed with BPD I got to know.

Generally, I would compare mental illness to the personality theory of temperament (in this case flavour of neurodiversity) + experience

Modern treatment methods often follow a bio-psychological or bio-psycho-social model. This is a oversimplification, but BPD is usually a biological/genetic predisposition to be more emotional + bad experiences in your childhood, leading to strong negative emotions and the lack of mechanisms to regulate those emotions, which cumulates in impulsivity, unhealthy coping mechanisms etc later on.

There’s overlap with the vague concept of hypersensitivity and ADHD; there’s differential diagnosis too, which is “hey, this can be similar to that, let’s diagnose properly before we do anything”; and there’s comorbidity.

I agree that trauma plays a big role, and I would go so far as to claim every BPD person is traumatized in a way that justifies therapy, but PTSD is a specific diagnosis, just like autism is.

I’d rather have a modern house, some housemates and no internet.

Yeah but that applies to social media as well. Or, idk, amphetamine. Or fucking weed. Even meditation. Which are all still there, some more regulated than others. But that’s not what you’re getting at, your point is AI chatbots = bad and I just don’t agree with that.

So we know that in certain cases, using chatbots as a substitute for therapy can lead to increased suffering, increases risk of harm to self and others, and amplifies symptoms of certain diagnosis. Does this mean we know it couldn’t be helpful in certain cases? No. You ingested the exact same logic corpos have with LLMs, which is “just throw it at everything”, and you seem to not notice you apply it the same way they do.

We might have enough data at some point to assess what kinds of people could benefit from “chatbot therapy” or something along those lines. Don’t get me wrong, I’d prefer we could provide more and better therapy/healthcare in general to people, and that we had less systemic issues for which therapy is just a bandage.

it’s worse than nothing

Yes, in total. But not necessarily in particular. That’s a big difference.

I also feel like Morrowind doesn’t translate over to a Skyrim-style gameplay nearly as well as Oblivion does

Because Oblivion was arguably Skyrim-style gameplay already; not much to translate there.

If i recall correctly the Skywind team said on stream they have roughly 2-3 times the volume of written and spoken dialogue compared to edit: either Skyeim or Oblivion.

I agree though, I think there’s an argument to be made that Morrowind in its entirety is perfect as it is, but that’s why I’m looking forward to it even more than to Skyblivion. Really curious what they are cookin

If there’s a better way to share a reddit post without giving them clicks let me know and I’ll edit my link.

There’s redlib and its instances, but as with YouTube links and piped/invidious, I prefer the original link and think it should always be present. https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib
