Despite the relentless indignities, the idiotic compulsions, and.the stupidity of my behaviour, which may or may not meet clinical criteria for "trauma bonding"...despite the grim avidity of boredom and its dictatorial clamp down on even the mildest of joys...
In spite of the above, I want to market a reality show concept called Cluster B Clusterfucks...
 
or if that's a bit too niche for people who haven't been tortured by the DSM, it could simply be "Australia's Got Narcissists"

well I thought it might be therapeutic for people who have had their fuck ups aggravated by the pseudo science of conventional psychologists who quite seriously think they are factually and ethically correct diagnosticians, on the basis of the DSM....the DSM is a wet dream for indolent doctors who confuse prestige and affluence with competence and responsibility. The DSM is their "bible" because, like themselves, it's an arbitrary fraud, which refers to nothing except its own self-stated expertise. Which "personality disorder" should I bestow upon patient X? Let's browse "cluster B" traits and see if any of them ring a bell..
it requires about the same mental effort as completing a personality quiz in a magazine for girls age 10-15, except that the quiz will take longer to complete, and will generalise.

Discombobulated non-sense. I think you're going through a psychosis which it's nothing wrong but what you need to understand it's that your actions affects others , you like it or not -- that's the way things are. More power to you
 
I don't think I am psychotic, but quite reasonably angry about how DSM criteria have been cynically employed in the "medico legal" arena to discredit me and hurt me. Most egregious example was my first husbands emotional and physical abuse being minimised as "only situational" because I had "cluster B tendencies". Ie, I was probably so "difficult" and so "annoying" that hitting me sort of proved how sane and long suffering my husband was.QUOTE="Shady's Fox, post: 14837060, member: 455667"]

and why was I a cluster b person? principally because the "desirable" answers in a long multiple choice test were way too obvious to to test your honesty.

I think you are right about this being better for a blog ... do you ever blog yourself by the way? I'm quite keen right now for occasional feedback/constructive criticism, which is hard to get from family/friends ...

I do occasionally when I want to express myself without necessarily being part of a conversation. People are still able to see and comment on your blog post, so you may be able to get the feedback you're looking for

I appreciate this question as it helps to give me focus...for many reasons I am feeling overwhelmed with rage, which at first glance is not very promising for my mental health. but its better than feeling thwarted love for my extremely violent ex, which has been a problem too. at least my anger suggests that my self-preservation instinct hasn't atrophied entirely.
And thanks to good advice from your self and others, I'm trying to run this anger, rather than letting it run me, which always ends badly. I've started counselling with a local women's health service: they specialise in DV survivors so they believe me, they're not easily shocked, and they don't try to talk me out of feeling angry or pathologise me. My counsellor isn't interested in my BPD or mood disorder - she believes that my relationship was poisoned by him, not me, and that his violence reflects his total lack of respect for women, not just me in particular. This is not usually what people say about DV these days...the standard view is that women "enable" abuse, and in particular that women who "hit him back" are also abusers, and that abusive men and women seek each other out because of mutual addiction to rage and melodrama.
It was SO empowering for me to hear my counsellor dismiss this model out of hand!
I may have mental health issues but I loathed being bullied and bashed. We didn't have "fights": a fight implies an exchange between two people. What I experienced was degradation, manipulation, and physical torture, which I couldnt oppose because I was half his size.
Well, as you can see, I am indeed angry! But at least I am sober! Sorry for rambling ...I meant to explain "Cluster B Clusterfuck"!
Never mind ...I'll put it in the blog forum - it's a more appropriate spot for it🖋
