[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing in your post indicates that she is "borderline."  A pain in the ass but not borderline.  Why doe people continue to throw around diagnosis without any understanding of what they are diagnosing?[/quote]

Yeah, I agree with you.

I mean, maybe there's an official diagnosis OP's mom has. However, from the post it just seems like some typical PITA.

And, honestly, I think there's likely a great deal many women in their 60s and 70s who have struggled with mental health issues all their lives and never had a proper structure that encouraged and supported reaching out for help. How many of us in our 30s and 40s are popping cocktails of anti-depressants, anxiety meds, etc. Or even managing conditions through diet, exercise, and meditation? ADD was barely recognized in children, much less in adults. Our moms in the 70s and 80s muddled through a time of rampant change for women and medicine with regards to the affect of brain chemistry and our moods.

In the present, OP and others, their issues are a PITA for us. But have some compassion, too. [/quote]
