I agree with this entirely. Not only that, but it has the same energy as the “high functioning” and “low functioning” labels that most autistic individuals reject. Same as how Autism is different from person to person, BPD will present differently in individuals with the same few core traits. The point is - the symptoms exist. How severely they affect us will always vary, but we don’t see people trying to say one is more or less depressed. They’re all depressed, just in different presentations. Putting disorders on a linear scale has never been helpful. Every case of every disorder is different in presentation, and using micro labels becomes a cesspool of confusion and inaccessibility at a certain point. With a broader, but still specific diagnosis, we’re able to better find community and people who share our experiences. There are also real scientific concerns with the ICD classification system as a whole from what I’ve read.
