BPD in film/media. examples of REALISTIC portrayals of BPD

Girl Interupted was hopeless I thought. Rider was supposed to be the Borderline and Jolie a psychopath. I bet the book was good. I'd forgotten about Falling Down. I think his wife played by Barbara Hershey was also a B. Try Kes and Life is Sweet. Both very British though.

I really enjoyed Girl, Interrupted. I have heard the book was better as well.

I think Angelina Jolie did amazing in the movie Gia. I don't know if Gia Carangi was borderline, but the movie definitely made me think so.. Love that movie.

Another good one is Prozac Nation. Wurtzel supposedly just suffers from depression, but I don't think that's her only problem..

I read somewhere that Angelina Jolie was diagnosed as borderline back in the 90s, don't know how accurate that is though.

Just realized I need to go through James McAvoy's filmography.

Prozac Nation definitely.

A Streetcar Named Desire

Everything But The Girl - I Didn't Know I Was Looking For Love. Maybe this is just one from my BPD mind

Just wanted to say that op was exceptional, outstanding, and right on the money. It made me happy to read and I feel validated in that I have made the same observation about Stan.
